We Install Crown Mouldings in Condominiums
.
Elite
Mouldings recognizes that there are certain restrictions when it comes to
installing Crown Mouldings in a Condo. There are issues with concrete walls
(which restricts the use of nails or pins), available lengths, transport of
lengths in elevators, finding room for cutting, noise restrictions and many
other installation issues that may come up depending on the unit. With that
in mind we now offer a full line Crown Molding installation for Condos using
our new line of Polyurethane trim which has a few advantages over wood and
MDF for condo installations. Due to space requirements and the mess
associated with plaster mouldings, we ruled out that option years ago.

MDF or Wood
moulding installation in a condo requires additional cost due to the added labour
and time involved with bracing the trim to the concrete walls which often
includes glued-in-place blocking. Polyurethane mouldings can be glued directly
to the walls, which reduces cost. Elite offers 5?crown mouldings as a
stock item for standard 8 foot high ceilings however the polyurethane mouldings
are available up to 14?width for taller ceilings and larger rooms. Our trims
come in longer 12 foot lengths compared to the 8 foot lengths offered by Big Box
stores, this means that you will have less seams in your rooms and therefore
less chance of the seams splitting and causing unsightly cracks. The flexibility
of Polyurethane, allows longer lengths to be transported in standard elevators,
this is not the case with MDF or wood which must be cut down in order to be
brought up to your unit and then reassembled.
Elite's staff
of experienced professional carpenters will install the polyurethane using
braces at each seam, this will prevent cracks and seams from appearing on your
installation over time. Our installation includes filling, sanding and caulking
of all crown mouldings installed, the trim comes primed and ready for finish
painting. All Elite Moulding installations are guaranteed for 1 year on
materials and labour.
