Crown Molding F.A.Q's
Making the SoSimpleCrown™ professional look a part of your home requires only a few simple, low-cost materials and a few simple steps.
Q: Why do we miter cut the end of the sticks?
A: We miter the ends of the sticks rather than make short corners as we did in the past. With the short corners there were extra seams in the wall and we had to charge for the corners because they consumed material. With the corners mitered on the ends of the sticks there are; less seams, most people find the install easier, and we don’t have to charge for corners. Customers actually suggested we do it that way, and so we listened.
Q: Is SoSimpleCrown™ wood-alternative crown molding as sturdy as standard wood molding or MDF board?
A: Yes, our crown moldings are made of polystyrene, industrial grade high-density polystyrene molding, and finished with our exclusive Skin-Tec™ process that ensures a smooth, hardened, and durable finish. Our opinion is that wood, up and out of reach on the ceiling is overkill, not to mention the headache of installation compared to SimpleCrown™.
Q: Once the crown molding is installed, how long will it stay adhered to the ceiling?
A: The DAP caulking product we recommend using is guaranteed for 35+ years. This is a common caulking product and available in most any hardware store. You will only need a few tubes for installation in a single room. This is a very affordable and reliable adhesive.
Q: Can SoSimpleCrown™ be used with textured ceilings?
A: We have many satisfied customers that install our moldings on textured ceilings and with great results. Because textured ceilings vary so widely we suggest that you order a sample piece and try it out on the closet or some out of the way place to see if it will work with your situation.
Q: How long is a length of crown molding?
A: Each molding length is 6.5 feet or two meters.
Q: Are pre-cut corners available?
A: Yes and at no charge as well. Our corner program is designed to minimize seams, so rather than sell you short 10 inch corners we miter the ends of the full length sticks so that your corner is built into the stick. Each corner requires 2 miters and that is why we are limited to only one free corner per two sticks.
Q: Can you ship the product to my home or do I buy it locally?
A: Because our product is so new, we have not established retail locations nationwide. As a result, we can ship you whatever quantities you prefer from our corporate office.
Q: Do you offer samples?
A: Yes, we can mail you samples of specific molding styles. Simply add the styles you like to your cart and checkout and will ship out the Free Samples. A small shipping and handling fee will apply.
Q: How do you install crown molding?
A: Simply watch the video on this page!!! That is really the simplest way to see the product in action. If you have additional questions, please feel free to contact us.
Q: What is an inside corner? What is an outside corner?
A: A square room has four inside corners. It is typically where a spider spins its web. An outside corner is where a wall would intersect with a hallway.
