Cathedral ceilings offer tricky turns and challenges when installing crown molding.
Crown molding looks great in almost any home, but it is especially difficult to install when you are working with a cathedral ceiling. Cathedral ceilings have a crown that is higher than any other part on the ceiling, and this requires some extra work when installing crown molding. It is very important to measure everything very carefully and that the molding is installed properly because you do not want to make the crown molding look sloppy when it's installed on the ceiling.
Instructions
1. Measure the angles of the ceiling to determine the angle at which the crown molding will need to be cut.
2. Cut the crown molding with a miter saw. Make sure you not only measure the angles of the cuts but also the length of the pieces needed to install along the ceiling.
3. Install the crown molding along the crown of the ceiling first by nailing it into the wall and then work your way down the turns. This will allow you to make changes along the way where necessary.
4. Paint the molding to your own liking.
