NEW CONSTRUCTION
WITH
TOP 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 (e.g.
If you used a single 2x4, then you would measure and mark the
wall down from the ceiling 11 ¼” + 1 ½” = 12 ¾”). Measure and
mark the ceiling out from the wall 11 ¼”.
1.
Block in-between the wall studs and/or ceiling, if necessary, to
suciently attach the cove pieces and top 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 the mathematical formula.
8.
Line up the sides of your top ledger to the snap line on your
ceiling and, using a nail gun w/ 16d nails (PROs) or screw gun
w/ 3” (or greater) deck screws, fasten the ledger securely to
the 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.

top ledgers and snap lines.

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.

a template on the side panel
of the box has been provided.

to a piece of ½” plywood/OSB,
cut it out and then install.
