CM-1170 Crown Molding is a plain, 7" breadth crown molding typically used in rooms with ceiling heights of 10' - 13'.
uDecor crown molding is manufactured with a dense architectural polyurethane compound (not Styrofoam). Polyurethane is durable and 100% waterproof. The material can be sanded to shape just like wood.
A major advantage of polyurethane is that it is safe to install in rooms with the presence of moisture like bathrooms and kitchens. This product will not encourage the growth of mold or mildew.
This molding is delivered pre-primed for most paints. Always test your paint on a small section to make sure there are no compatibility issues with the paint and primer. Most home latex paints work great on our molding.
Our crown molding installation video, walks you step-by-step through a full installation, with plenty of tips on how to make your project look amazing. Below are some of the key things to remember.
Use Adhesive for a Lasting, Seamless Finish
Apply a small bead of adhesive along the length of the molding on the back where it contacts the wall and the ceiling (watch). Finish nails help secure the molding while the adhesive sets. Most importantly, apply adhesive between any molding being joined end-to-end.
You will need 1 tube of Loctite’s PowerGrab (or similar adhesive like PL Premium) for about every 6 pieces of molding.
The Final Piece
Cut the last piece you install on each wall just a little long. 1/16 to 1/8 of an inch is usually enough to allow you to snap that piece in place, making sure all your joints stay nice and tight. This is easiest to do when you leave the last two feet of the previous piece unnailed (watch).
Painting
Our moldings do not need to be primed. Plus, since polyurethane does not absorb moisture, paints that are self-priming
or a Paint & Primer in One
may not dry properly. Standard latex paint is less expensive and will give you the best result.
Be Mindful of Temperature Effects
All materials expand and contract with changes in temperature. For best results, when installing on a hot day, keep the molding inside until you are ready to make your cut.
