If you have ever been in a room and seen beautiful decorations running along the places where the wall meets the ceiling, then you know how crown molding can add to the beauty of a home. While traditionally, wood has been the default material of use, recently polystyrene foam has been emerging as the better alternative.
Here are seven reasons why polystyrene foam crown molding might be a better option than wood:
Easy to Install – Crown molding made of foam is often so easy to install, you save huge amounts on installation and maintenance costs.
Affordable – When it comes to buying material, foam will always beat wood. The advances technology has made in making the production of synthetic materials cheaper mean that you can get almost anything made with a strong material that will last, including crown molding, affordably.
Light Weight – The lightness of polystyrene foam crown molding makes it much easier to transport and install. This means you save on labor and hauling costs.
Different Parts And Styles – Styrofoam crown molding components come in a variety of styles and designs that complete whatever vision you have in mind as well as the layout of your home, walls and ceilings.
Cheaper To Paint – Compared to wood, anything is cheaper to paint, even paper. What is unique about foam molding is that it comes in a hue of white that matches most wall colors. Painting also requires just a single coat of appropriate paint, compared to a number of coats on wood.
Flexibility – Due to the lower costs of buying and installing polystyrene foam crown molding, changing the designs and layouts in your home becomes more affordable, giving you more control over how your home looks and feels.
Durability – The nature of polystyrene foam makes it resistant to moisture damage, making it ideal for places that might experience dampening. This simply means that foam installations are likely to last longer than wood equivalents.
