Polyurethane millwork
The room is finished at the ceiling.
Spectis crown for that line — a quiet bed on an 8-foot wall, or a cornice on a large house. Dentil, two-step, boxed, fossil stone. The size is here. The stick is on spectis.us.
Projection
How far the crown stands off the wall. Deep eaves need more projection than a bedroom ceiling.
Height
How far it drops down the wall. Match height to the ceiling: roughly 3–5 inches at 8 feet, more as the wall gets taller.
Length
Most Spectis crowns are 12-foot sticks. A few decorative profiles are closer to 139 inches. Order the waste.

Crown styles
All six styles
Cove crown
A single smooth concave curve: the quietest, most adaptable crown.
Ogee crown
An S-curve, convex over concave. The classic traditional profile.
Stepped crown
Flat steps and small curves that cast crisp parallel shadows. Traditional or transitional.
Dentil crown
A row of small square blocks under the curve. Formal, Colonial, and Greek Revival.
Ornate crown
Molded ornament such as egg-and-dart, scroll, or floral. It makes the ceiling line a feature.
Crown with flat base
A curved crown over a flat band, so it reads taller on the wall without a site-built stack.
Why urethane crown instead of wood
Spectis molds high-density polyurethane. The stick is primed white, light enough to hang like pine, and stable outdoors where wood crown checks and MDF swells.
- Interior or exterior. Same material, different texture if the wall is stucco or stone.
- Stable outdoors, where wood crown checks and MDF swells. Ornament is in the mold, so it repeats.
- Cut, nail, and caulk with ordinary tools. Paint after the joints are closed.
- PLP100 adhesive is required on every bedding face and butt joint.
Questions before you click through
What is Spectis crown molding made of?
High-density polyurethane. It cuts, nails, and paints much like paint-grade wood. Sticks ship primed white and are ready to paint. The same material is used indoors and outdoors.
Can this crown be used outdoors?
Yes. Use it on interior ceilings and on exterior cornice, soffits, and gables. Outdoors, paint promptly and seal the top edges. A concrete-finish or fossil-stone face is the match when the wall is masonry.
What do projection, height, and length mean?
Projection is how far the crown stands off the wall. Height is how far it drops down the wall. Length is the stick, usually 12 feet. Some sticks are about 139 to 140 inches. Use the length printed for that profile.
How do I buy a profile I see here?
