Measure the side casing and add 7". Use a triangle to create a 45˚
angle or measure 3-1/2" in from the edge of the part. Use snips or
a miter saw to remove this portion.
Flip the part over and remove the locking leg as shown.
This should be done to both ends.
Snap the lineal over the J-channel as shown. Use the same
measurements for both sides.
Corner blocks
Install J-channel around the perimeter of the window opening.
J-channel should be the same length as the casing.
Install corner blocks on all 4 corners as shown. Leave blocks loose
until the lineals are installed.
Cut the lineals the same length as the window casing.
Start with one end and angle a lineal into the corner block and
snap it over the J-channel.
Continue installing lineals around the window.
Crown molding
Crown molding will fit over the top of the lineal system.
Install J-channel and lineals around window casing.
Measure the top lineal and add 2-1/2". This will be the crown
molding length.
Insert crown molding cap into the crown molding and trace the
shape. Trim off the marked line.
The crown molding requires a tab 2" long—cut from the pocket
receiver as shown.
Cut the crown molding cap in half and apply the halves with a
bead of caulk.
Insert the crown molding into the top of the lineal as shown.
