SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Make sure to use the correct tools recommended.
Wear safety goggles.
Follow xture, power tools, and paint manufacturers’ instructions and users manuals.
Use common sense and follow good construction practices.
Corbels are not load‐ bearing, decorative use only.
Hollow Corbel
1. Attach wood blocks to surface with screws.
2. The top and back pieces of corbel will easily “slip” over wood block-
ing strips.
3. Screw through side of bracket into wood blocks to properly secure.
4. Use caulk to seal edges of bracket against surface after installation.
5. Fill in any holes with caulk and smooth the surface with nger.
6. Let caulk dry. Once dry, lightly sand with extra ne sandpaper.
7. Touch-up bracket with paint as needed.
Solid Corbel
1. Lay the corbel face down on a soft surface.
2. Apply a 1/2” bead of adhesive caulk all the way around the back edge
of the bracket.
3. When pressing the bracket up against the surface, some adhesive
caulk will seep out. Smooth excess caulk around the bracket with a
nger and apply extra caulk that is needed to ll in any gaps.
4. Wipe off any excess adhesive caulk with a sponge or damp rag.
5. Screws may be used for added support. If used, ll in any holes with
caulk and smooth the surface with a nger. Let any excess caulk dry.
Once dry, lightly sand with extra ne sandpaper.
6. Touch-up bracket with touch-up paint as needed.

IMPORTANT INFO
• It is highly recommended that you paint/nish our brackets before installation.
• Once installed, you can apply any necessary touch‐up paint/nish.
• Clean installation surface and bracket of all dirt and dust with a clean cloth or dry sponge.
• Measure and mark the location where the bracket is going to be installed.
• All PVC brackets are decorative only and for some models the legs (bracket extensions)
are built as solid hollow channels to slip over wood blocking strips for easy installation.
• Wood blocking strips should t snugly into the back of bracket.
