How to Install Floor Trim
1 Start with the right gear:
- Mitre Saw
- Measuring Tape
- Stud Finder
- 16g Nail for Thick Trim (18g for thin trim)
- Trim
- Nail Gun
- Appropriate Safety Equipment
- Pencil/Marking Tool
2 Installation
- Measure your space to determine how much floor trim you’ll need, and account for a little extra for any mistakes or future repairs. Try layering multiple styles for custom results.
- Measure your walls to determine the length of cuts to make, and mark your wall studs to layout where nails will be placed.
- When making corner cuts, carefully align corners and make 45° cuts for a perfect fit. Ask your KENT expert about helpful tools for this step.
- Nail your trim flush to the floor/wall where your studs are marked.
- Fill & smooth nail holes as needed.
- Once your trim is installed, add paint or stain to complete your design vision.
Installing floor trim is a project most DIYers can easily tackle with a few cuts, lots of measuring, and help from the KENT Project Centre.
