• It is highly recommended that you paint or nish pilaster before you install it.
• Place pilaster in room 2 to 3 days prior to installation. This allows the moulding to adjust to the temperature of the
room.
• Hot-dipped galvanized or stainless steel nails/screws are best for PVC products.
• Fill fastener holes in with PVC acrylic caulk.
• Use 100% acrylic paint before in stalling, nish with nal coat to cover caulked holes.
