A Look at Installing Polyurethane Crown Molding

Posted on January 10, 2012 by admin

Installing polyurethane crown molding is much easier than you might think. It is much lighter than the wooden counterpart, therefore easier to handle and lift. While it is recommended you have at least one other person to assist you, the job goes much faster when the pieces are lighter. 

Selecting the Right Molding

Selecting the proper style and accessory pieces that will complement your molding is another step to take into consideration when ordering the molding itself. Support pieces can add visual appeal as well as help secure the longer pieces. And corner pieces will help hide any imperfect cuts and give a finished look to the project. Outside corner pieces will cap off the ends giving a finished look as well. 

Paint First

Any painting that needs to be done should be finished and dried before installing the polyurethane crown molding, and touched up when the installation is completed. This cuts down on the amount of work involved, since it is much easier to paint what is at eye level as opposed to climbing a ladder with a brush and bucket.

Posted on December 24, 2011 by admin

  • Found in a wide variety of styles to choose from
  • Lighter than wood for easier installation
  • Available in multiple options to create a custom look

Premier Wood offers a huge selection of accessory pieces to add to the molding to make each room stand out.

From the corner pieces to the carve add-on accessories, polyurethane crown molding can become a work of art in and of itself. The hardest part of the entire process may be the selection itself. Each room should have a look and feel of its own–and by custom crafting the trim work involved, this can be achieved.

Polyurethane Appliques over Wooden Appliques

Posted on November 25, 2011 by admin

So you’re looking for appliques for your DIY project. And while you planned on purchasing wood, you’ve just realized that they are also available in polyurethane. So what do you choose? Polyurethane appliques or the traditional wooden ones? Well, let’s see…

Polyurethane appliques last longer

Wood ages–sometimes much quicker than we would like. On the other hand, your polyurethane appliques will be around much longer than you will—no rotting, no decaying. So if longevity is in the equation, polyurethane appliques are the solution.

Polyurethane is a greener option

Guess where those wooden appliques are coming from? Some poor tree somewhere. And guess what happens when it’s time to get rid of the applique? It ends up in a landfill somewhere. On the other hand, polyurethane appliques don’t harm trees and are 100 percent recyclable. Sounds like a great choice!

Where can you get polyurethane appliques?

So polyurethane appliques are clearly the best option. So where can you get them? Check out premierwood.com!

Why Choose Urethane Molding?

Posted on October 25, 2011 by admin

Old school builders insist on wood products, yet urethane molding has many advantages over its wood counterpart. Consider this:

  • Wood trim can rarely be recycled into anything other than firewood
  • No trees have to be cut down to make urethane molding
  • No visually noticeable difference between the two materials once installed
  • Easier to work with since it is lighter than wood
  • No warping or drying out as it ages
  • Little to no maintenance once painted and installed

With all of these advantages and more, it is difficult to understand why anyone would insist that wood is the only way to go when it comes to constructing or remodeling a home. Wood does have its place, to be sure. But when it gets down to the trim and finish portion of the project, urethane molding makes a big difference, both in ease of use and cost to install and upkeep.

Choosing the Right Urethane Molding For Your Project

Posted on October 15, 2011 by admin

 A lot of decisions need to be made when completing a project, and urethane molding represents an important one. Which style you choose will depend upon the finished project you have in mind for the room.

For a small to medium sized room, basic molding may suffice, unless it is a room that will be seen by many people, such as a dining room, or even a bathroom. For these types of projects you may want to use a more decorative urethane molding, since it will be seen and appreciated by more people than say, your laundry room.

Large, high ceiling rooms will benefit from crown molding, to add that architectural touch that really sets off a space. There are many decorative touches that can be added as well to make the room a work of art in and of itself.

Endless creative possibilities await when you choose urethane molding to complete the look of any room.
