Let's talk! Polystyrene mouldings for walls mouldings - crowns, covings, corners, borders, decor mouldings on walls, Ceiling Rosettes, Floor skirtings e.t.c.

Crown moulding is the narrow strip that you see capping the lines where the walls of a room meet the ceiling, and is of two types; polystyrene foam and wood. While wooden moldings are not uncommon, polystyrene moldings are preferred by many because of their many advantages.

The biggest advantage of polystyrene polymer is that it is lightweight and easy to install. Its low structural weight allows for easy handling and installation by one person and can be installed on any type of ceiling. Plastic coving cornice can be installed much faster requiring only adhesive.

Another eviable advantage of polystyrene moulding is that it is less expensive. In fact, it is the least expensive moulding that you'll find in the market. This is because of a cost-efficient manufacturing process. So, if you're on the lookout for an inexpensive way to add that touch of glam to your interiors, then polystyrene moulding should be your most obvious choice.

There is no end to the different types of surfaces on which you can successfully mount foam crown moldings―wood, marble, tile, vinyl, steel, granite, concrete, and plastic are just to name a few. This makes them a highly versatile element of design that can be used to decorate everything from walls to pieces of furniture.

Polystyrene moldings have a white surface that merges well with the white ceiling in most homes. However, even if you do wish to paint them in a certain colour, all you need to do is apply a single coat of water-based latex paint. This is easier than painting wooden crown moldings that involves applying a coat of primer followed by 2-3 coats of paint. What's more, you can even use spray-painting for a quick coat of paint on your crown moulding.

Unlike traditional wood mouldings, polystyrene mouldings are available in a wide range of designs that are created keeping the different types of ceilings in mind. For example, vaulted crown mouldings are designed for use in rooms that have a sloped or angled ceiling, while flat back mouldings are meant for rooms with flat ceiling.

Another reason you should opt for polystyrene crown moulding is that it offers you a world of options in customization, which makes sure that nothing comes in the way of you and your dream room. The size of the pieces ranges from 2 to 10 inches, and you'll also find end-caps, blocks, and corner pieces that can be used to give shape to any and every design. What's more, you can order for single-length pieces of a particular size if you want to avoid the trouble of cutting them to a desired length.

Polystyrene mouldings are resistant to damage caused by exposure to water and moisture, which makes them ideal for exterior use as well as use on damp surfaces. So, you can easily install foam crown moldings in your attic, basement, or kitchen without having to worry about replacing it at regular intervals. This gives it an edge over other common materials used for making moldings.
In addition to this, their flexibility prevents them from breaking at the slightest impact, which makes them highly durable. These moldings are also resistant to damage caused by household pests, and hence, are capable of lasting for years on end.
