Crown Molding For The Living Room
Bored of the regular look of a room and want to bring about some changes? Try crown molding. This will transform your space and make it look ornate. Crown molding is a very popular way to change the look of your house and people generally use crown moldings on ceilings for an added effect. The best thing about installing a ceiling crown molding is that regardless which type of ceiling mold you choose, you can apply the same set of instructions.
Follow these simple steps to change the look and feel of your house.
1. To get the right angles for your crown molding, begin by measuring the corners of the room with the help of a combination square. Hold it horizontally against the wall and the 90 degree section should correspond with the wall. If the 2 sides are congruous, you have a square corner. If the sides do not touch the square perfectly, then it is less than 90 degrees. If the walls are unevenly touching the square then corner is more than 90 degrees. With the help of the square, get the angle estimation to as close as possible and note that down for cutting the molds accurately.
2. Use tape measure to get the distance of the wall.
3. Adjust the miter saw angle accordingly and set it for cutting the final molding.
4. Leave the bottom of the molding on the table horizontally and position the molding piece on miter saw. Check the molding should be at the same angle on the saw as it would be on the ceiling. Once in place, turn on the miter saw and let it begin its work.
5. Make a pencil mark on the bottom of the molding after measuring the length of the crown mold against the wall where you want to install it.
6. Now make adjustments to the miter saws angle towards the right exactly half of the angle of the corner of the wall where you will place the molding. Prop up the molding at the right angle against the fence and the table, align the blade with the pencil mark and begin cutting the molding. The distance is widest on the top of the molding and narrow at the bottom which means that the cut is right.
7. Start the position of the molding between the walls and the ceiling for installation. Nail them into the joists and not just into the dry wall for proper position.
8. Repeat the same set of steps against all the walls in the room.
After completing these simple steps, stand back and enjoy the great work of crown moldings on your ceiling that will change the way your house looks henceforth. Don’t be petrified by the idea of doing this work all across the house once you have done it with a single room in your house. The process remains the same and the transformation is endless. So what are you waiting for? Get started on your next room now, you did a pretty good job with the living room!
