Crown & Cornice Molding
Planning Your Space
- When installing a cornice or crown molding it is important to
establish a plan for the layout.
- Start by measuring your room to determine linear footage of molding
needed. Add 10% of total length for miter waste.
- Divide total linear feet by molding lengths to determine total
molding pieces. For example: If molding comes in 8-foot lengths, divide
total linear feet by 8 to determine how many pieces of molding are
needed.
- Round up the number of pieces needed to determine total number of
molding lengths you will need to purchase.
- Consider adding additional length to your purchase to “match the
pattern” of molding, ensuring a consistent appearance. For molding with
repeats greater than 6” consider adding an additional 5% to total
length. Before Installation
Before Installation
- You can finish [paint or faux finish] molding before or after
installation.
- After installation touch-up any area as needed.
- Place molding in room for 48 to 72 hours before installation to
allow molding to adjust to temperature and humidity levels of room.
- ALWAYS store molding in a dry well-ventilated, low-humidity
area. NEVER store molding outdoors.
Surface Preparation
- Clean all surfaces free of dirt and loose particles with a clean
cloth or sponge. Make sure area is completely dry before installing.

Chair Rail & Frieze Molding
Planning Your Space
- When creating chair rails or friezes it is important to
establish a plan for the layout.
- Chair rails are typically installed 1/3 up from the floor [32”
to 36”]. Frieze molding is typically installed just below cornice
molding or a few inches below ceiling like a border, which can help
reduce the scale of high ceiling rooms.
- Start by measuring your room to determine linear footage of
molding needed. Add 10% of total length for miter waste.
- Divide total linear feet by molding lengths to determine total
molding pieces. For example: If molding comes in 8-foot lengths,
divide total linear feet by 8 to determine how many pieces of
molding are needed.
- Round up the number of pieces needed to determine total number
of molding lengths you will need to purchase.
- Consider adding additional length to your purchase to “match the
pattern” of molding, ensuring a consistent appearance. For molding
with repeats greater than 6” consider adding an additional 5% to
total length.
