We can design any type of custom crown molding from your drawing; here are some ideas...
 
Our indoor products including cornice and other decorative moldings are made of reinforced plaster
 
 
 
 
Painting cornice and crown molding:
 
There are three basic methods to paint crown moldings:
Spray paint (easiest) usually one color.
Ornamental cornice can be painted in different colors using a brush.
A more unique method which makes cornice look aged/antique. this is only for ornamental cornice. Basically you spray water based paint on ornaments and immediately wipe off the paint with a cloth. what happens is the deeper parts of cornice don't get wiped off, giving it contrast.

Installation instructions for Plaster Crown Molding and Cornice:
 
1) Pre drill and countersink holes for screws near top and wall parts; approximately one screw for every ft. of cornice/crown molding
 
2) Apply liquid nail glue on the back of crown molding near ceiling and wall edges, but not too close
 
3) Put crown molding up against the wall and drill the screws in. wipe off excess glue of the edges if necessary

 
Pointing up joints:
 
4) Combine a small amount of plaster with water into a small cup so that it is about buttery substance (amount of plaster determines thickness)
 
5) Using a knife like tool, apply plaster to the joints of crown molding.
 
6) Using a wet brush (kept in a water bottle) brush excess plaster off to the side and onto the brush which you then rinse in a water bottle.

What is crown molding and what is cornice? Both names are used for both things, but more commonly the term cornice is used to describe the pattern around windows or doors, such as window cornice, while crown molding is more known to be the pattern used to join wall and the ceiling. In any case both cornice and crown molding are a pattern which (with or without ornament) when put two pieces next to each other, the ends match perfectly creating seamless run.
 
We also have recently developed several ornamental cornice patterns that work very nicely to frame doorways, mirrors and even aquariums.
