Crown Molding

Crown is the wood molding that is attached to both wall and the ceiling. The molding itself is attached at a 45 degree angle to both of these surfaces. It softens the 90 degrees angle where the ceiling and wall meet. In general, a higher ceiling will require a wider crown molding than a lower ceiling.

Since a crown molding is attached at an angle, it also requires more skilled cutting to install properly. Crowns can also be installed in layers, for example, with the decorative part of a base molding showing beneath a crown molding to add extra dimension to moldings. Crowns can also be used in mantles or over doors, where a more elaborate look is warranted.
