Drywall bullnose outside corner mouldings
for baseboard, chair rails and crowns.
(Click on the images to see a larger view.)
This is a large bullnose corner crown molding shown during
installation and when completed and painted.
While viewing the enlarged version of these images take note of
how accurately we were able to match our curved corners to
the customer's straight lengths. Only light hand sanding
was required to bring the parts into perfect alignment.
How to deal with rounded drywall outside corners.
Rounded bullnose
corner beads on the outside corners of sheetrock,
drywall
and plaster walls are now being widely used. While
this
softer treatment of a 90 degree outside corner is visually
pleasing,
it is hard to find moldings that properly wrap
around the corner with
that nice curved effect.
Because of this availability problem most installers end
up just making miter cuts on the straight mouldings to make
a faceted or pointed outside corner. This leaves a gap between
the
molding and the curved corner bead that they then fill with caulk.
While
this type of installation works it is not the best
solution
for wrapping baseboards, chair rails and crown
mouldings
around these bullnose radius corners. At best
it tends to look somewhat unprofessional and at worst the caulk
filler dries out over time leaving a recess where dust and dirt collect.
7" poplar crown moulding
made for a bull nose drywall corner
This
is a 7" face poplar crown moulding that will wrap around
a 3/4" radius bullnose drywall corner. It has 4"
tangent
straight legs on both ends to make for
easier joining of the
straight crown moulding to this
corner component.
Our customer sent in
samples of the straight crown mouldings being
used throughout the
house. There were two versions of the profile,
one
at 5" and one at 7". We supplied exact matches for both profiles,
allowing the
crown mouldings to properly transition around all
the 90 degree bull nose outside corners.
We can make these
corners to match most any
straight crown moulding, or we can supply
the
straight
moldings
to go with the curved corners if you prefer.
In this emd view photo of the same bullnose crown corner you can
see that the moulding is cut from a solid glued up poplar block.
We
also make baseboard and chair rail mouldings for
these rounded
outside wall corners. We supply these
components
with 3" to 4" long straight legs just as
on the crown moulding
above. While this makes for
a somewhat more
expensive corner moulding the
extra cost is offset by a
noticeable labor savings. This
is because our corner
moulding goes all the way around
the corner and several inches
down the adjoining wall
on either side, allowing for a
straight foward joint between
the corner and straight length
components.
