Crown Moulding

Crown moulding is a classic statement of sophistication in a home or building project! It adds an instant touch of elegance, framing the junction where your walls meet the ceiling with timeless grace. At Woodwork Manufacturing & Supply, we offer a broad selection of moulding profiles, ranging from simple modern lines to richly detailed traditional designs - perfect for giving any room that refined finishing touch.

What is Crown Moulding?

Crown moulding is a type of decorative trim installed where the wall meets the ceiling, creating a smooth, finished transition between the two surfaces. More than just a design accent, it adds a sense of height and elegance to a room, drawing the eye upward and giving the space a more refined look.

Depending on your style, this type of moulding can be simple and understated with clean lines, or it can be built up in layers with intricate patterns for added depth and character. It’s available in a variety of materials and finishes, making it versatile enough to complement modern, traditional, or transitional interiors.

Frequently Asked Questions

What materials are crown mouldings available in?

The most common materials include hardwood (like pine or oak) for a timeless natural look, primed MDF for easy painting, and moisture-resistant composites for use in damp areas like bathrooms or basements.

How tall should crown moulding be?

The standard sizes range from 3 to 6 inches in height, but larger rooms or ceilings over eight feet often benefit from taller profiles, sometimes 7–9 inches, to match the room’s scale and proportions.

Can this moulding be customized?

Absolutely! We provide custom lengths, profiles, and materials to suit your project. You can also choose the paint or stain in your choice of finishes to match your home’s design palette.

Is it Difficult to install?

This type of moulding installation requires precise angle cuts, especially on inside/outside corners. Many of our customers choose professionals for a pristine fit, but premade corner block systems make DIY installation much more manageable.

Does crown moulding serve any functional purpose?

Though it primarily is for decor, it also helps conceal small gaps or uneven seams where walls meet the ceiling, providing a finished look and adding a touch of architectural polish.
