Add A Quiet, Graceful Elegance To Any Room In Your Home.
Decorative Moulding by CertainTeed are precision made Cove and Cornice mouldings consisting of a gypsum core enclosed in a

an attractive way to conceal wiring or indirect lighting.

STEP 1: Mark wall and ceiling. Choose
the step configuration of your choice and
mark the wall and ceiling accordingly.
See illustration for guidance.
STEP 2: Cut Steps. To cut a step, score the
face paper with a sharp utility knife. Break
the core by snapping away from the cut.
Finish by cutting through the back paper
along the crease.
Tip: Always measure from the finished edge
when marking a Step for cutting. When install-
ing Steps, leave a gap between the ceiling
and wall. This gap will be covered when the
Cove or Cornice is put in place.
STEP 3: Apply a generous layer of
CertainTeed joint compound to the entire
back of the first Step, especially near the
exposed finished edge. Use the excess
compound to fill any remaining gaps.
STEP 4: Fasten the Step to the wall or
ceiling with drywall screws where needed.
Tip: Position the screws so that they will be
covered when the next Step or Cove/Cornice
is installed.
STEP 5: wipe away excess compound,
and install any additional Steps in a similar
manner.
STEP 6: Proceed to the Cove or Cornice
installation.
