This is a mockup of the plate rail I am installing in the dining room. I kept the original baseboards (5/8" x 7-1/2") and ran the panel battens vertically between the bottom of the built-up plate rail and the baseboards. I removed the original base cap and used the #1723 panel stops to frame each panel section.
The sizes and item numbers (per the Rejuvenation catalog) are as follows:
1-1/2" x 3" Plate Rail - 4497
3/4" x 5-1/2" Flat Casing- 7721
5/8" x 2-1/2" Panel Batten - 9871
3/8" x 1/2" Panel Stop - 1723
1-1/2" x 3" Plate Rail - 4497
3/4" x 5-1/2" Flat Casing- 7721
5/8" x 2-1/2" Panel Batten - 9871
3/8" x 1/2" Panel Stop - 1723

I was going to ask about your trim profiles and source-- thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteBy the way, how are you attaching the moulding to the wall. I assume there might need to be some extra care involved to avoid surface cracks or broken keys in the plaster walls.
Josh,
ReplyDeleteI am using a few dabs of panel adhesive and a pneumatic brad nailer. The gun does a good job of securing the trim to the lathe without cracking the plaster. I also use good old-fashioned finish nails on the ends and wherever I know there is a stud. I'll post more details about the whole process when I do the next wall.
