Hi,


I think an important part of remodeling my home is going to be nailing the molding. I really want a modern look with blues/greys etc.


I've been looking at here for some inspiration: https://www.chemcrest.com/mouldings/crown-moulding/crown-plain


But wanted some input as to what you guys think?


Thanks!

I agree. Crown really is a nice detail.

Seems those are polyurethane. I put up polyurethane crown a while back. I struggled with keeping it straight, not wavy. That was my first time putting up crown. Your walls are not flat, your ceilings are not flat, and urethane molding is not rigid. In retrospect, softwood molding (very rigid) would be a superior product.

Interesting. Thanks for the advice!

How much is a unit? Surely it isn't per stick.

Those types of mouldings are nice to install because they are lightweight and you can get them in lengths long enough to cover long walls in a single run so no seams.
If you can justify the cost over doing a 3 piece crown moulding out of wood or mdf, they are a good option for the average diyer.

I like crown moulding, but I sure don't consider it a "modern" look.
