Crown Moulding / Crown Molding General Information

Crown Mouldings, also referred to as crown moldings have been around for centuries. Though the materials that the mouldings are made from have changed, the benefits of these mouldings have not. 

 Crown mouldings are typically installed over the seam that joins the ceiling and wall together.  They can be installed for architectural appeal or as a masking for cracks or other imperfections.

 Traditional moldings were made from wood or plaster. These mediums crack, split, twist, and decay overtime. The Superior Crown Moulding line is made from very high density polyurethane. Polyurethane is a hard substance that mixed with the right technology allows for beautiful architectural features or replicas to be created. Superior Mouldings will not warp, crack, split, twist, or turn overtime. They expand and contract less than 1/3 of what wood will do.

 The Superior Architectural Accent line includes crown mouldings, decorative rails, flexible mouldings, ceiling medallions, and many more elements that supply the finishing touches to any room.  These products (excluding flex moulding) come with two coats of white primer, so they are ready to be installed with your preferred paint color or installed as is.

 No matter if you have a  “cookie cutter” style or a tailored made custom home/building, mouldings can help set your room(s) apart.

 Mouldings create an elegant finished look for any room.

 Design Ideas: 

Depending upon the application, mouldings can help raise the ceiling or help lower it. Chair rail mouldings can be installed underneath crowns to create countless designs and sizes.  In the picture below, the customer stacked the UT-5318 ontop of the UT-9867 to create a larger profile.

 Also, moulding can be used in conjunction with the Superior Faux Wood Beam Line. The UP-5350 was used in the tray ceiling along with the T-20A faux wood beam. This created a very warm inviting atmosphere.
