Crown Molding

What is Crown Molding?

Crown molding is a decorative finish used in homes to give seamlessly blend the lines of a house’s interior. Without this molding, rooms would look unfinished and would seem choppy as different elements would be stacked on top of each other. This specific type of trim has designs that have been used for centuries to highlight the transition between walls and ceilings, adding character to even the plainest of room. By investing in crown molding, you are ensuring that your house will have a classic look that will never go out of style, yet still stand out to the contemporary homes that primarily focus on basic and minimalistic trim types.

What Materials Does Crown Molding Come in?

Homeowners have a variety of materials to choose from before committing to a crown molding type including wood, plaster, plaster-covered foam, polyurethane foam, and flexible polyurethane. While some of these types are more DIY-friendly than others, you will want to get all the advice you can you because money quickly adds up per linear foot for them.

It’s also important to consider how a certain design looks with one type of material versus another, as this can affect the overall aesthetic of your home. You can be guaranteed that we will go over all of this with you before solidifying any plans.

What are Some Common Designs?

Depending on the size of your crown molding, your design can get very intricate, or remain crisp and distinguished. Some of the designs we’ve installed recently include dentils, classical egg-and-dart detailing that is inspired by Greek and Roman creations, acanthus leaves, garland, and stair steps.

The beauty of the trim designs is that they tell a story of what your style preference is, and what you take inspiration from. For example, if you choose stair step trim, this emulates 1920’s Art Deco and can mix with both vintage and contemporary cabinetry and furniture pieces you may have.

Taking time to check out all design styles is important before going through with the installation process. You will want to determine your house’s architectural style, your own preferences, and how the right trim can set your style apart from everyone else’s.

Who Should Install Crown Molding?

Because crown molding can get complicated with various sizes and cuts needed to fit each corner, investing in a professional is your best bet to make sure the job gets done correctly the first time around. There are not many instances when just one size and length of trim can used all around a room without any issues so just letting an expert in can make the process much faster.

Here at Pro Carpentry, our professionals can help you through the entire installation process and can make your visions come to life. Because crown molding is now used to frame many other areas such as in entry ways and tops of windows, we want to make sure that you are completely confident in your choices and will be happy with the look of your home for years to come.
