Lesson 7 : Exterior And Interior Wall Ornamentation
Crown molding
Crown molding encapsulates a large family of moldings which are designed to gracefully flare out to a finished top edge; generally used for capping walls, pilasters, cabinets; used extensively in the creation of interior and exterior cornice assemblies and door and window hoods. Crown molding is typically applied along the seams where ceiling meets wall. Usually it is not placed flush against the wall nor against the ceiling. Instead, when viewed from the molding's end, it, the ceiling, and the wall form a triangle. This adds a difficulty to the installation process, namely the need for complex cuts to form corners where two walls meet.
