If you would like to add a little panache to your home, consider crown molding. It serves only the purpose of adding beauty to a room in the home and is a curved face trim added where the ceiling meets the top of the wall. Installing crown molding will add elegance to the rooms in your home. Although a challenging task for even professional carpenters, the results are beautiful and well worth the time and effort. Find a partner to help you with the install before beginning so the task will go faster. Teamwork will make the installation process less of a challenge.
Careful planning and measuring is crucial. Add additional length to the molding pieces to allow for cutting errors. Choose the style and color, which will best accent the room. Keep in mind the crown molding will need to be the best for your personal taste in décor. The finish and color of the molding should be completed before installation. It is easier to do touch-up work on the trim in comparison to adding stain or paint after it is placed in an area difficult to reach. Before installing the crown molding, measure the space where it will be placed and draw a pencil mark on the wall where the bottom edge of the trim will rest. This will keep your trim straight during install. Create pilot holes in the trim to keep it from splitting as nails are used. Add adhesive on both the ceiling and wall edges of the molding as well as on the seam. Having a partner to help with hanging up the crown molding will help with making sure the molding is properly aligned, which may be difficult to see while up on a ladder and close to the trim work. In the event of errors during the installation phase, remember caulking helps with any mistakes. In the event a wrong cut with the miter saw caused a small hole in a connecting piece, caulk may be used to fill the hole and make it much less noticeable. Crown molding is beautiful trim work, which will add architectural flair to any room in the house. Whether you want to add finesse to the home for you to enjoy or if you need to do upgrades for resale value, crown molding will certainly help. Remember to do your research and take proper measurements before purchasing supplies. Also, ask someone for assistance to help you with installation.
