Fixing Instructions Rhino Art, Mouldings and Cornices
Diagrams and dimensions as follows:

A x B x C x D (D=LENGTH) (refer Diagram 1.)
Rhino Art = 83 mm x 83 mm x 120 mm 75mm Cove = 60 mm x 60 mm x 82 mm 125mm Cove = 90 mm x 90 mm x 120 mm Gypsum Mouldings as per catalogue

1. Measure distance (B) down from the ceiling and mark it on several places on the wall. Shoot a chalk line along these marks on the wall. Insert temporary nails at 1 metre intervals just below the chalk line. (Refer Diagram 2.)


2. Fix a timber stop along the base of the mitre box distance (A) from the vertical side. Place the Gypsum moulding upside down (i.e. the bottom facing upwards) in the mitre box. (Refer Diagram 3.) Refer to our catalogue to ensure that you have the pattern the correct way up.


3. Using a fine tooth saw, cut and mitre the required lengths of Gypsum moulding in a mitre box. If using patterned cornice, extreme care must be taken to match the pattern where a joint occurs. See ‘Preparing Joints and Corner mitres’ data sheet for further details on how to cut mitre.

4. Lay the Gypsum moulding face down over a length of timber. Butter both edges with Rhino Art Adhesive / Rhinobed / Covebond to more or less the thickness of a finger. (Refer Diagram 4.)
5. Guide the Gypsum moulding over the temporary nails and press firmly into position against the wall and ceiling. Insert temporary nails into ceiling to hold cornice. Fix the Gypsum moulding ± every metre into the wall using steel nails or drill, plug and screw. On painted surfaces a plaster bonding liquid (Grippon) should be applied. Whilst still wet and tacky fix cornice. Patch imperfections and clean off excess Rhino Art Adhesive / Rhinobed / Covebond. (Refer Diagram 5.)

NB: Always carry cornice on edge.

Note: Cornices are purely decorative and do not con-tribute in anyway to the structural performance of a building. If excess movement of the roof is expected, fix cornice to the wall only. Fill gaps with a flexible paintable sealant. Plascon Polycell Gap Filler can be used or where there is aggressive movement, Plascon Polymastic would suffice.
Fixing Instructions for Cornices to Rhino Steel
  1. Fixing of cove with steel brandering behind the board could be done either by; i) Glue the cove to the wall and the ceiling with Rhinobed or Covebond with support nails under the cove until the bond between cove and wall and ceiling has formed. Where excessive movement is expected glue to the wall only and fill the gap at the ceiling with a paintable flexible sealant. ii) Screw the cove to the ceiling into the steel brander using a screw gun and a screw of suitable length (41mm). Nail the cove to the wall where required. Fill holes with Rhinoglide and sand when dry.
