Install is a breeze with an easy crown molding kit!
You can save time and money!
These kits require no prior knowledge and very little skill to install. Keep in mind though, these don't have the same look as true crown molding, as the pre-fabricated corners are quite obvious. They are as follows:
Peel and stick crown molding: Just like it says. You must have smooth walls for this, and though I have not tried it, I wonder how long it will stick!
Polyurethane crown molding: A high density foam. Usually comes pre-primed. Paints up nicely. Impervious to rot, insect damage, chipping, cracking, and splitting.
Styrofoam polystyrene crown molding: These typically cost less than wood crown moldings and polyurethane moldings. Attaches with liquid nail or similar construction adhesive. Comes pre-primered or raw.
Typical crown molding installation can involve a bit more work than people are prepared to do. Most crown molding pieces are unfinished, and have to be stained or painted to the color that you desire. Then, once you get the prep work done, you still have to nail and glue the crown molding to the wall. There is a much simpler solution to all that work: an easy crown molding kit.
Easy Installation
An easy crown molding kit is simple to install. The pieces can be cut to fit the lengths that you need, just like regular crown molding. The installation process itself is an easy as peeling the paper to expose the adhesive backing and sticking to the proper position on the wall. You will not need to use any other glues, nails, or hammers. Cutting the easy crown molding to fit your sections only involves the use of a pair of scissors, a ruler, and a pencil.
Design Ideas
You can be just as creative with an easy crown molding kit as you can with conventional crown molding kit. The pieces can be painted, which gives you unlimited decorating options. You can paint the easy crown molding kit pieces in a darker shade from the wall color to make a large room look smaller. You can also paint the pieces in a lighter shade to make smaller rooms appear to be larger.
There are also sophisticated looks that can be done by adding additional decorative pieces or different sized in the easy crown molding kit. Typical sizes are 2 ½ inch, 4 inch, and 4 ½ inch moldings. You can also include little decorative touches to the bottom of the easy crown molding kit. The decorative dentil molding is installed in the same manner as the easy crown molding kit pieces, and adds a special touch.
More Than One Use
Almost any easy crown molding kit can be used in more than one way. You can install it in the typical manner along the joining of the wall and the ceiling, but it can be used in other applications as well. You can use the easy crown molding kit as baseboard pieces by simply turning the pieces around so that the top is the bottom and vice versa. You can also use the pieces in outdoor applications, but it is recommended that you use caulking when you are using the easy crown molding kits outside.
Choosing to use an easy crown molding kit not only saves you on time, but it also saves you in the costs associated with trying to redecorate. Conventional crown molding can be expensive, mainly because it is made from wood. Additionally, if you ever want to change the look of your room in the future, you have to start all over with new crown molding, and the removal can be difficult. An easy crown molding kit can removed with little effort, and there are so many options for decorative molding accessory pieces that you may not need to remove it at all. Using an easy crown molding kit can help you transform a dull and boring room into a wonderful room that will welcome anyone.
