Crown Molding

In Plain English

Decorative trim installed where walls meet the ceiling to give rooms a finished, formal appearance.

Definition

Crown molding is a decorative trim installed at the junction of a wall and ceiling to provide an ornamental transition. It is available in wood, MDF, polyurethane foam, and plaster in a wide variety of profiles. Crown molding is typically mitered at corners and requires skilled installation to achieve tight, consistent joints.

Example

The historic renovation required custom-milled 6-inch crown molding to match the original profile in the formal dining room.
