How to install Crown Molding

Description

If you shop online please use our links to amazon sometime in the future, (it helps me keep this tutorial free). Thank-you -Gordon- Solution: Here are a few tips for finding studs! Problem: How much crown do I get? I've never done this before any tips? Problem: What should I use to nail the crown up? Solution: Typically these are the nails you'll want to use. Typically you'll be nailing to a framed stud wall. Like the image left, the studs will most likely be 16" on center for 2x4 walls and 24" on center for 2x6 walls. Typically the ceiling joists will also be either stick framed 12" 16" o/c or 24" on center trusses. Sometimes you will need to place crown to a concrete ceiling perhaps a brick or block wall or dropped for lighting like we did in this project. In those cases you will fasten the backer to the wall then nail the crown to the backer.
