Marcos Glue-Up Styrofoam Crown Molding

Size: 4.5" wide by 6.5' length
Paintable: Yes (water-based)

Dentil Glue-Up Styrofoam Crown Molding

Dentil Glue-Up Styrofoam Crown Molding

Size: 5" wide by 6.5' length
Paintable: Yes (water-based)

Dentil crown molding is more decorative than the other types we’ve mentioned thus far. It has broad, definitive lines running along the top with narrower lines at the bottom. In the middle, there is a square design as a border.

The look is more on the classic, vintage side as it creates the feel of ancient Roman times. This molding makes a definitive statement in any room, and painting it in a contrasting color can make it stand out, especially as decorative crown molding on the ceiling.

This type of molding generally fits in more formal areas like sitting rooms and dining rooms. You can also incorporate it into a master bedroom or anywhere you want to add a touch of elegance.


Corbels Glue-Up Styrofoam Crown Molding

Corbels Glue-Up Styrofoam Crown Molding

Size: 5" wide by 6.5' length
Paintable: Yes (water-based)

This ceiling and wall décor design is more ornate. It has lines running at the top with circular beaded work just below. The middle section contains a square, ornate design with more semi-circular elements rounding off the look underneath.

It creates a bold, classical focal point in any room. People commonly use it in grand foyers, sitting rooms, formal dining rooms, and master bathrooms. This look exudes a classic elegance with its intricate millwork and looks especially great with high ceilings.

The benefit of this type of molding is that it draws the eye upwards. It brings a sense of grandeur to a room and, if you use it properly, can make the room appear larger or more expansive.


Brian Glue-Up Styrofoam Crown Molding

Brian Glue-Up Styrofoam Crown Molding

Size: 6" wide by 6.5' length
Paintable: Yes (water-based)

Brian molding offers another subtle design and is similar to Marcos and Miguel. The difference is that it is wider, and the curve is more pronounced.

This molding looks great in any room and goes well with many styles of décor. While it isn’t plain, it isn’t overly decorative in design, either, and makes an ideal chair rail.


Lines Glue-Up Styrofoam Molding

Lines Glue-Up Styrofoam Molding

Size: 2" wide by 6.5' length
Paintable: Yes (water-based)

Lines offers a more modern, clean, contemporary look. The top line is a little wider and shorter than the other two sections, and the lines go straight across.

This look gives a more contemporary and almost art deco appearance to a room in terms of crown molding. It is very different from what people typically envision as crown molding, and we think it adds a nice touch to the living area. Using this will make a bold statement and will attract the attention of any guests visiting your home.


Rope Glue-Up Styrofoam Crown Molding

Rope Glue-Up Styrofoam Crown Molding

Size: 5" wide by 6.5' length
Paintable: Yes (water-based)

Rope crown molding looks like the standard brand except with rope indentations on the lower portion. It butts up snugly to the wall and the ceiling and is a little more decorative than the standard crown molding, creating a more creative flair without going too bold. This makes it a good choice for coffered ceilings.

This design will fit nicely with most décor where you want to add more of a formal flair without making the room feel too stuffy.


Benefits of Styrofoam Crown Molding

There are several reasons to use Styrofoam molding. They are as follows:

  • Installation is easier, only requiring adhesives and a caulking gun
  • Doesn’t crack or decay easily
  • Resists insect damage, moisture, and rotting
  • Repaintable without primer
  • Lightweight and durable

Disadvantages of Styrofoam Crown Molding

While the list of drawbacks is relatively short, there are some important things to consider before buying this material.

  • May need painting to match the interior design
  • Can easily melt upon extreme heat accompanied by flames
  • Releases toxic fumes if burned
  • Prone to denting
  • Not as long-lasting as wood crown molding

There are many variations to crown molding that will finish any home décor style. For more contemporary areas, you may want to go to a standard / convex / concave type of crown molding to get something that reflects the clean lines of the space. For vintage, antique, or formal areas, you can elevate the look with something more decorative.
