Most of our jobs can be completed in one day. Faster installation means a considerable decrease in labor which brings the total cost down significantly. How is that possible?The answer is in the lightweight, polystyrene crown moulding that we work with. Engineered and manufactured in Belgium using state of the art technology and engineering; a breakthrough that is revolutionizing the industry. The initial reaction to the product is often how amazing it looks and disbelief that it isn’t a “wood based” product.
Our installation process is unique and was developed specifically and perfected over years of practice and innovation. Fast and effective, it is changing the market for crown moulding. Everybody loves the look crown moulding brings to their home and there is no better way to dramatically transform the look and value of a home.
Crowning Touch Moulding is not only more affordable than other installation companies, but the quality and precision of our work is substantially above that of the competitors, and due to the nature of the material, it stays looking new, and will last for decades. Wood based crown mouldings expand and contract due to heat and moisture rising to the ceiling, revealing unsightly joints in corners and seams, whereas the extruded polystyrene moulding we use will not expand or contract and therefore will never split, crack, or warp. We are proud and passionate about the results that we produce.
To help better understand the difference between our Extruded polystyrene crown moulding and traditional medium density fiberboard (MDF) moulding we’ve included a comparison list below:
VS
VS
- Extruded Polystyrene Crown Moulding is impervious to heat and moisture
- Won’t expand or contract
- Won’t split, crack, shift, warp, or deteriorate over time
- Stays looking like the day it was installed for years and years
- Mold and mildew resistant
- Requires no nails or screws which results in a ultra smooth clean finish
- Applied using Loctite Power Grab Adhesive with a 35 year guarantee
- Cuts the installation time in half
- Efficient, quite, and clean installation. Most jobs take us 1-2 days to complete
- Corners are prefabricated to ensure perfect Joints every time with less touching up
- The material is flexible so it absorbs the imperfections in the walls and ceilings resulting in straight, even lines
- Seams, joints, and corners come together perfectly, and will never open up, or reappear
Result: Beautiful impeccable Crown Moulding guaranteed for as long as you own your home!
- Medium density fiberboard crown Moulding is particleboard that is effected by heat and moisture
- It will expand and contract resulting in splitting, cracking, warping, and deterioration
- Not mold and mildew resistant
- Requires nails, and screws resulting in longer installation times and more touch ups
- Nail holes need to be sanded and filled making it much more difficult to get a clean, smooth finish
- Loud invasive nail guns and compressors in your home for many days
- Wood based materials are inflexible and will not absorb movement and imperfections in the walls and ceilings which can cause problems
- Corners cannot be prefabricated which means more time, effort, and energy to get them to line up
- Seams, corners, and joints will open up over time due to the nature of a wood based product on your ceiling
.
Result: Expensive and outdated moulding that just doesn’t compare.

Why don’t all Crown Moulding installation companies use extruded polystyrene crown moulding?
The extruded polystyrene moulding that we use can actually be very expensive to buy, if purchased retail. However, we buy it by the container so we get it at wholesale prices. As previously mentioned, the crown moulding that we install is manufactured in Belgium. It can only be purchased in bulk, by the container, otherwise it has to be purchased through one of the few U.S. retailers where it is relatively expensive. While there are other EPS crown moulding manufacturers, some even in the U.S., none compare to the superior quality of ours. And our customers appreciate and acknowledge the tremendous value and excellent service they receive.
