Cornice

Cornice is the moulded plaster trim that finishes the join between wall and ceiling. It hides gaps and small movement cracks and gives the room a finished edge. We supply plaster cornice in 55mm, 75mm and 90mm profiles, from classic cove to stepped decorative designs, with cornice adhesive and finishing compound available in the same order.

Size guide:

• 55mm: compact cove for standard ceilings and a subtle finish
• 75mm: the most common choice for typical residential rooms
• 90mm: larger profile for higher ceilings or a more prominent look

FAQs:

Q: What size cornice should I choose?

A: Match the profile to the room. 55mm suits a subtle finish, 75mm is the common residential choice, and 90mm suits high ceilings or a bolder look.

Q: How much cornice do I need?

A: Measure the total perimeter of the room in metres, add roughly 10% for cuts and waste, then divide by the sheet length of the profile you choose.

Q: What do I use to fix cornice?

A: Cornice adhesive, then set the joints with finishing compound.

Q: What’s the difference between cove and decorative cornice?
