INSTALLATION DIAGRAMS

• Thoroughly read through the installatation instructions to familiarize yourself with the

process before beginning installation.

• It is recommended that wood blocking be installed every 3-6 feet.

• If studs or joists do not align with the wood blocking it is recommended that you use molly

bolts or toggle bolts to secure wood blocking to ceiling

• Before installation acclimate the beams to the room for at least 24 hours

Safety Instructions

Make sure to use the correct tools recommended.

Wear proper protective gear.

Follow xture, power tools, paint manufacturers’ instructions, and users manuals.

Use common sense and follow good construction practices.

1. Measure inside width of the beam and cut wood

blocking to inside width dimensions. (Diagram A)

2. Determine where the beams will be installed. If

installing multiple beams determine your spacing.

3. Once you have determined installation points and

spacing, mark the center points along both sides

of the wall. Using a chalk line connect the marks.

Note: If the studs or joists do not align with the wood blocking

it is recommended that you use molly bolts or toggle bolts to

secure wood blocking

4. 2 feet from the wall attach wood blocking using

your center line. Then install blocking every 3-6

feet. With a pencil or tape mark where the block-

ing is installed. (Diagram B)

5. Measure each installation point before cutting to

account for variances in the wall. It is also recom-

mended that the beams be cut a little long so they

t snuggly and can be adjusted after dry tting.

6. Dry t each beam without adhesive and make

adjustments to the beam lentgh if needed.

7. After dry tting and length adjustment apply con-

struction adhesive to the outside of the blocking

and tops of the beam. Press rmly in place.

8. Use nishing nails or screws to fasten the beam

to the blocking. (Diagram C) Screws will need

to be countersunk, covered with wood ller, and

painted for a nished look.

9. Clean off excess adhesive and if needed, apply

caulk where the beam and wall meet.
