Alyssas Fun Tips To Abide By When Looking for Faux Wood Crown Molding
Posted on December 27th, 2009 No commentsWhen looking for crown molding for your home you may want to consider fake wood crown molding. It comes in the same wide range of shapes and types as average crown molding but typically costs a lot less. There are many different materials that may be used to make faux wood crown molding including resin, polyurethane, and polystyrene. Once these materials are painted they’ll appear just like wood crown molding and won’t need quite as much maintenance. If you would like your pretend wood crown molding to look like stained wood you’ll need to hire a pro pretend finisher. Think about the look you are working to produce in your home and decide if pretend wood crown molding would work for you.
Faux wood crown molding is much easier to install than crown molding made of real wood. Primarily, it is lighter which is a genuine help when you consider installing it adjacent to the ceiling. Both polystyrene and polyurethane crown molding can be cut nailed in without the utilization of special adhesives. These kinds of crown molding will not crack, split, or break so you don’t need to be as careful as you would with wood crown molding. To make installing pretend wood crown molding simpler you can pre drill the holes and use a cordless drill.
One of the finest uses of faux wooden crown molding is when you are installing in on a curved surface. Resin faux wood crown molding is terribly flexible and perfect for curved applications. It also will be much cheaper than trying to install wood crown molding in a curved area. Resin crown molding can be custom ordered to work on a particular radius. While this could seem pricey the labor costs that are concerned with installing real wood crown molding on a rounded surface can be astronomic.
