Cedar Closets – Give A Nice Look Without Breaking The Bank
Cedar Closets – Give A Nice Look Without Breaking The Bank If you are planning on installing a closet in your home remember to consider cedar closets as one of your options. These closets offer an easy to install, pleasantly aromatic alternative to plastic shelving. Or as an alternative, if you already have already created your closet then you can cover the walls with cedar paneling in order to take advantage of its many benefits.
Installing a cedar closet is a simple step by step project suitable for most homeowners. The steps to a successful install are as follows:
Step 1 Purchasing the Materials for Cedar Closets Find out the square footage of cedar that you need to purchase. Measure the surface area beforehand to prevent purchasing too much or not enough of the panels. If you measure the width and height of the area most companies offer a project planner that will tell you how many boxes to purchase. You will also need a stud finder, pencil, wall adhesive, and a nail gun (nails and a hammer will do the job just as well).
Step 2 Preparing the Cedar Closets Be sure to remove all of the cedar planks from any packaging in the area that they will be installed. These panels should be allowed to acclimate for at least a full 24 hours before installation. This is so that the wood can go through the process of shrinking or swelling in order to match the climate of the closet. After this time is over lay out the pieces on the floor in the same way you will put them on the wall. This allows you to decide how the walls will look. The best way to install these panels for people doing their own home improvement is to install the boards horizontally.
Step 3 Remove the Old Install the New Clear out all old shelving and rods from the closet. Remove and screws or nails that will prevent the boards from lying flush against the wall. Starting at the floor lay the planks for the cedar closets with the grooved edge down. Be sure that you are in a corner with this first panel. Verify that the bottom row is level and then lean it forward to apply adhesive. Push the board back against the wall smoothing out any possible air pockets. Reinforce the liquid adhesive with the nails that you purchased for this purpose, making sure that the nails are inserted at the stud location. Continue the row that you are on all the way across the walls that you are going to cover. If there is overhang at the end use your saw to remove it, and then begin the next row with the piece you have removed. Once the closet is completed add molding to the ceiling and floor for a professional finish.
In these simple steps you will be able to install your own cedar closets. The longevity and natural benefits of this product will continue to serve this house long after you have left it.
