Crown molding types
Spectis sorts polyurethane crown into these filters. Use them to match a cornice you already have, or to decide how much ornament a room can take. Every type shops through on spectis.us.
Large cornice
Read the guideTwo-step crown
Tall rooms, exterior eaves, formal entries, and build-ups that need presence.
Lower member
Read the guideBase crown
8- and 9-foot rooms, and the bottom of a stacked exterior cornice.
Squared profile
Read the guideBox crown
Rooms that should feel tailored rather than ornate, and fascias that want a flat face.
Soffit cornice
Read the guideBoxed crown
Tray ceilings, exterior boxed eaves, and cornices that need a flat soffit panel.
Exterior texture
Read the guideConcrete-finish crown
Stucco houses, commercial facades, and cornices over stone or brick.
Top of the stack
Read the guideCrown cap

Read the guideCrown nosing
Soffit lips, the front edge of a built-up cornice, and returns that need a rounded or detailed nose.
One-piece stack
Read the guideCrown with base
Rooms that want a layered look without site-built stacks, and repeat work where every joint has to match.
Tooth course
Read the guideDentil crown
Colonial, Federal, Greek Revival, and any exterior cornice that should read as traditional millwork.
Wider fascia
Read the guideCrown with flat stock
Exterior fascias, frieze-plus-crown details, and interiors that need a calm band between wall and ornament.
Ornament
Read the guideDecorative crown
Dining rooms, entries, traditional living rooms, and any interior where a plain cove is too quiet.
Cast stone
