NEW CONSTRUCTION
WITH top and
Bottom REVEAL
Framed room with no drywall
At each corner of the room, measure and mark the wall down from
the ceiling 11 ¼” plus the thickness of your top reveal (example
below). Measure and mark the ceiling out from the wall 11 ¼” plus
the thickness of your bottom reveal. Example: If you want a 1 ½”
top reveal and a 3” bottom reveal, you would measure and mark
the
wall down from the ceiling 12 ¾” (11 ¼” + 1 ½” = 12 ¾”) and measure
and mark the ceiling out from the wall 14 ¼” (11 ¼” + 3” = 14 ¼”).
1.
Block in-between the ceiling, if needed, to suciently attach
the top and bottom ledgers. If building code requires you to re
block, reference Step 9. In this case, combining steps 2 and 9
can save time.
2.
Using a staple gun w/ 1” (or greater) staples/brads (PROs) or
Screw Gun w/ 1” (or greater) deck screws (DIYers) attach a cove
piece butted to each side of each corner (either touching the
top of an inside corner or the bottom of an outside corner).
7.
Using your marks as a guide, snap a line (with your chalk line)
on the wall and on the ceiling around the entire perimeter of
the room.
3.
Measure, mark and then attach all other cove pieces in between
the butted cove pieces on each corner no more than 16” O.C.
Helpful Tip: For help spacing your cove pieces evenly between
each corner visit www.archkit.com/cove-spacing to watch our
“How-To” video and see with the mathematical formula.
8.
Line up the sides of your top and bottom ledgers to the snap
lines on your wall and ceiling. Using a nail gun w/ 16d nails
(PROs) or screw gun w/ 3” (or greater) deck screws, fasten the
top and bottom ledgers securely to the wall and ceiling around
the entire perimeter of the room.
4.
If necessary, and/or according to code requirements, re block your
Universal Cove Kit in between the studs along the perimeter.
9.
The 6 90° corners are reversible to t both inside and
outside corners. If you have an inside 90° corner, then
the top halves will are outward like the etchings of
an arrow. If you have an outside 90° corner, then the top
halves will come to a point like the head of an arrow.

Using a staple gun w/ 1” (or greater) staples/brads (PROs) or
screw gun w/ 1” (or greater) deck screws (DIYers), install your
90° inside and/or outside corners (right angle) to align to your
top and bottom ledgers.
5.
If applicable, install your 45° inside corners by using 4 of the
40 cove pieces that have already been modied to be used as
a cove piece as well as 45° inside corner.
6.
If you have a 45° outside corner,
a template on the side panel
of the box has been provided.
Trace your 45° outside corner
on to a piece of ½” plywood/
OSB, cut it out and then install.
