Lay out all Edge Trim segments according
to their placement as shown on the 2-D
drawing.

Then, guide each Edge Trim segment into
place so that the brackets on the back
side slide over the bulb of the perimeter
tees.

Do not butt together adjoining lengths of
Edge Trim. Instead, leave a 1/8-inch gap
between trim pieces.

Edge Trim Splice Covers are used to
cover these gaps.

Bend down the bottom lip, which will
provide a snug fit around the trim.

Install the Trim Splice Covers as you go:
slide the lower lip over the bottom edge
of the trim…

… and bend the upper portion over
the top of the Edge Trim.

At corners, leave a 3/8-inch gap between
the leading edge of the trim and the end
of the tee.

Each corner gap will be concealed by a
Corner Cover.
