Plaster Crown Install


In a room with a ceiling height of 22 feet, a large cornice molding is the way to go. This is a 2-piece crown: one 16H" X 18W" main crown, and a smaller 3" X 4" sub-crown. The smaller crown will function as a custom light rail that will house LED lighting around the perimeter of the room, casting a warm glow upward toward the main crown. This will create ambiance for sure.



Here Jeff is fitting one of the smaller pieces created by a short offset in the room. There will be four offsets total, as well as the usual inside corners. Cutting the long miters of the main crown while maintaining alignment within the lattice pattern is one of the many challenges of the project.
