Crown Molding Faq's

After crown molding is installed, it is caulked at the top and bottom, to hide the gap. However, if the crown molding is a different color and the caulk was painted, you'll need to make sure that you use a paintable silicone caulk

Gaps and cracks develop, making the crown molding separate from the wall. Nails and adhesive caulk are no match for temperature-related separation and moisture. The root cause of the problem stems from the contraction or warping of ceiling trusses, the beams that make up structural support of the roof of a house.

A simple method to attach crown molding is to install a plywood backer board to the top plate, which is the horizontal frame above the wall studs. The width of the backer board is approximately 1/8 inch smaller than the width of the molding. Doing so allows you to nail the molding to any point along every wall.

Crown Molding can lead to increased home value and a positive ROI depending on how much you have invested in the project. Many homeowners want easy projects that will increase their resale price, and you can do that by adding crown molding.

After crown molding installation, there is usually a large gap between the crown molding and the wall or ceiling. Latex caulk is a good way to fill these gaps. Spread a bead of caulk along the gap with a caulk gun. Smooth the caulk with your finger and let the caulk dry overnight.
