Abstract
A plaster crown molding tile and a base support foundation beam provide mating nesting surfaces such that with the beam mounted to a wall surface, the tile may be placed securely onto the beam. A space is provided for a lighting fixture between the beam and the tile. Preferably, the nesting surfaces comprise orthogonal surfaces.
Claims7
A wall molding apparatus comprising in combination:
- at least one plaster crown molding tile and at least one base support foundation beam;
- the crown molding tile providing an upright body portion providing a front decorative surface and, in opposition thereto, a wall-engaging surface and a beam nesting surface;
- the foundation beam providing a wall mounting surface and in opposition thereto, a tile nesting surface;
- the beam nesting surface and the tile nesting surface each providing mutual contact on at least two angularly disparate surfaces.
1 more element
A method for mounting a wall molding comprising the steps of:
- forming orthogonal nesting surfaces on a foundation beam;
- mounting the foundation beam on a wall surface with the tile nesting surfaces positioned away from the wall surface;
- forming orthogonal beam nesting surfaces and a wall contacting surface on a plaster crown molding tile;
- placing the beam nesting surfaces of the molding tile into contact with the tile nesting surfaces of the foundation beam and concurrently, the wall contacting surface in contact with the wall surface;
- and engaging the molding tile with the foundation beam using a means for fastening.
