Crown Molding

• Crown Molding is a trim detail applied to the top of a wall at the intersection of the ceiling. It can be one single molding or several put together giving a deep ornate feeling. 

• Crown is a classification of moldings that cover an infinite number of styles and forms.  All with the same function of terminating a wall into a ceiling.

• Crown molding should complement the room and style of the house. Colonial style molding in a Victorian home looks out of place and can be distracting. There are pattern books available for every motif. These books can help guide you to the right style for your home.

• Choose the crown carefully.  Large crown in a room with low ceilings can make it seam smaller and squat.  Small crown in a large room  will get lost.

Tague lumber has one of the areas best selections of moldings and samples of crown moldings.
