When looking for crown molding for your house you may wish to consider faux wood crown molding. It comes in the same large assortment of shapes and types as traditional crown molding but typically costs much less. There are plenty of different materials that may be used to make fake wood crown molding including resin, polyurethane, and polystyrene. When these materials are painted they will look just like wood crown molding and will not need nearly as much maintenance. If you need your fake wood crown molding to look like stained wood you’ll need to hire a pro faux finisher. Think about the appearance you are working to construct in your home and decide if pretend wood crown molding would work for you.
 
 Faux wood crown molding is much easier to mount than crown molding manufactured from real wood. Primarily, it is lighter which is a genuine advantage when you think about installing it next to the ceiling. Both polystyrene and polyurethane crown molding can be cut nailed in without the utilization of special adhesives. These kinds of crown molding will not crack, split, or break so you don’t have to be as careful as you would with wood crown molding. To make installing faux wood crown molding easier you can pre drill the holes and use a cordless drill.
 
 One of the finest uses of faux wood crown molding is when you’re installing in on a curved surface. Resin pretend wood crown molding is extremely flexible and ideal for curved applications. It will also be much more cost effective than trying to install wood crown molding in a curved area. Resin crown molding can be custom ordered to work on a specific radius. While this could seem expensive the work costs that are involved with installing real wood crown molding on a rounded surface can be astronomical.
