Can anyone tell me what type of moulding to buy?
Question:I am using crown moulding for the top, can I use this for the bottom as well? Or, do I need to buy a base moulding? Can I use regular casing for the bottom trim?
Answers:
No, you cannot use crown as a base, as it is installed at an angle. You can use casing as your base, but your base should be wider than your casing, and casing is usually more ornate than a baseboard should be (it will hold more dust). There are some fairly simple bases out there, and they are easy to install.
You wouldn't want to use crown crown moulding as a base. There are different types of mouldings for the base. I suggest going to Lowes or Home Depot and asking a sales rep to help you pick out a good base.
