Crown molding installation requires
advanced, experienced carpentry skills. If
your top shelving isn’t completely level,
or if you measure or cut incorrectly, you’ll
be returning to the home on another day

Here are a few tips to ensure your top shelving
and towers are prepped properly for a snug fit
with crown molding:
•
Complete your closet installation. Do not use
H-Channels. Thus, you must cut top
shelving in corners for a tight fit – no gaps.
Fasten mending plates with
#6 x 5/8” Flat
Head Screws
to secure any corner top shelves
to adjacent top shelving sections.
•
Most crown molding installations will only
require 90˚ standard cross cuts and 45˚ angle
cuts to finish tower-top molding (as in
overhead view, Fig. 1). On more rare
occasions, with angled or curved wall
installations, you may be required to cut
22.5˚ angles or other angles to match
unusual closet configurations (Fig. 3).
Fortunately, the Ridgid mitre saw (and most
other major brand saws) provide notches,
presets with lock down saw positions for the
most common angle cuts (Fig. 2).
