TrackFit Crown Moulding
 
This product is intended to make installation of crown moulding and
other types of moulding (chair rail, etc.) easier. You install
brackets in key locations and attached the moulding to it. Corners
are pre-cut so the theory is you only need to miter straight pieces.
Material is a wood composite.

It is available at Lowe's and manufactured by EverTrue.

It is more expensive than wood moulding but if it doesn't look good
(gaps, etc.) or is harder to work work than advertised, etc. I would
rather use the traditional approach.

Anyone have experience with this product or something similar?

Thanks much!

Joe

I know for a fact that putting up chair railing is dirt easy so a "labor
saving" alternative is a non-starter.

The real test of a "new" technique is how it works when your ceiling isn't
flat. Check the instructions and handouts and see how that is addressed.

I've done chair railing and I find it easy, too. I haven't done
crown, so I thought this might help with the corners. I went ahead
and bought it, so we'll see this week...
