Deco strip help

How do you cut & install the deco strip for runs longer than 86" (length of deco strip)? The run of uppers above our sink is 91+ inches and we're not sure how to fit multiple pieces together.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Re: Deco strip help

Hi! Just use a butt joint (e.g. butt them up against each other real tight) and attach as normal. If the seam is visible, you can use wood putty (if you have wood cabs) or if you don't, you can use paintable caulk and paint to match.

HTH,

Kelly

Re: Deco strip help
