Foam Backing

Foam Backing on Metal Crown Molding? What do YOU think?

It isn’t too often that we forget to mention a few of the specialty items
that we offer our Customers.
Recently we have had calls asking if we offer foam backing for any of our
Prestige Series Crown Mouldings;          And that answer is YES! 

Actually we have had the option to offer a Foam Backing with each of our custom
finished Prestige Series Profiles for many years. 


You may ask, “What is the Advantage of Foam backing on Metal Crown Molding”?

Advantage really is better said as preference;
1.    An easier installation on certain areas of a project.  Prestige Series Aluminum Crown
      Mouldings are offered and ordered in various aluminum gauges;
             Gauges include .019, .027, .024 .032 (Kynar Painted) and .040.
             Also available is Copper in 16 oz

2.    The lighter gauge aluminums are available in a wider array of color and are
             very popular within the Home/Apartment/Town Home development or planning
             process. Foam backing being offered adds a sense of security when color takes
             precedence over gauge.

Foam Backing does not strengthen the aluminum but it does provide a more firm backing
and allows for easier installation/nailing of a length of Metal Molding.
Foam Backing is not indicated on restoration or renovation; when covering over the
already existing crown trim.

Foam backing is not adhered to the metal crown molding so it can be removed or
cut to fit a specific area.


Of course anytime a question surfaces; We are only an email or phone call away
and always happy to offer our expertise.
