People also ask, how do you install crown molding on an uneven ceiling?
- Install flat trim molding against the ceiling as a nailing backer before you install the crown.
- Span the wall and ceiling trim pieces with the crown molding.
- Pair the new crown with thin trim molding, such as 3/4-inch half-round, on the ceiling a few inches from the crown molding.
Likewise, what size nails do you use for crown molding? Crown is typically nailed up with a 2” finishing nail and a compressor and finishing gun. Outside corners are usually done with a brad nailer and 1” brad nails with glue. Studs are generally 3-1/2”, drywall a ½” and the crown moulding a minimum of ½”; therefore 2” finishing nails are necessary.
Furthermore, where do you put crown molding?
As we mentioned, crown molding is often installed between walls and the ceiling or the wall and the floor. This gives the room a seamless, elegant appearance.
