Crown Molding Materials

Best for: Curved walls and window bays.

Pros: This rubbery material comes in an array of profiles that can bend around a curved wall without the need for relief cuts.

Cons: While less expensive than a custom carpentry job, flexible molding is still costly and must be special-ordered.
