Crown Moulding

Crown moulding encapsulates a large family of moldings which are designed to gracefully flare out to a finished top edge. Crown molding is generally used for capping walls, pilasters, and cabinets, and is used extensively in the creation of interior and exterior cornice assemblies and door and window hoods.

In recent times, crown moldings have generally made their appearance as mostly decorated plaster or wooden trim where walls meet ceilings.

Crown Moulding

Crown mouldings look excellent when you prepare, caulk and clean all the seams between the ceilings, walls and corners

Use high-quality caulking so seams don't open up and turn yellow later in the year.

NOTE: Gluing the joints is also important. Joints will expand and contract at different times of the season. If the carpenter doesn't glue the joints, they could open up during winter months when the humidity is dryer.

Painting Trim

Steady / "hand-eye coordination" enables painters to exceed in both speed and how the paint flows. Today's paint dries fast, therefore, if you can cut lines straight before the paint starts to "set", it always has a nicer edge and looks better than tape lines.
