INSTALLATION TIPS

Installing crown molding demands a certain level of skill and experience, yet with the correct tools and techniques, it can become a fairly manageable task. Here are a few tips to guide you through the installation process:

Measure and plan carefully: Precise measurements are crucial for a successful installation. Map out the molding layout and mark both the walls and ceiling accordingly.

Use a Coping Saw: For inside corners, utilize a coping saw to cut the molding at an angle, ensuring a tight fit when joining two pieces together.

Secure with care: Use a nail gun or finish nails to attach the molding to the wall and ceiling. It’s important to nail at an angle to prevent any risk of the molding splitting.

Fill and sand: Apply wood filler to any gaps or nail holes in the molding, then sand the surface until it is smooth.

Paint or stain: Apply a coat of paint or stain to complete the molding and match it with the room’s decor.
