In our project, we installed 5" fluted molding as baseboard, door and window trim. This technique was used to create a linear effect.
1. Carefully remove old molding using crow bar and hammer.
2. Measure and cut new molding to size with a miter saw.
3. Cut edges at a 45-degree angle so they align perfectly.
4. Affix molding at baseboard, ceiling and around all doors and window, using a nail gun.
5. Fill in any gaps and nail holes with wood putty.
6. Touch up with paint.
