Timber Cornice

Cornice is the moulding that closes the joint where a wall meets the ceiling. It covers the gap and the fixings and gives the room a finished line — the difference between a ceiling that looks installed and one that looks built.

Ours is milled from the same cypress as the timber and door lines, run in the same yard, and sold by the length. Timber cornice suits the ceiling types most commonly used here: gypsum, softboard, plywood and timber-panelled ceilings all take it, pinned or screwed into the brandering behind, then filled and painted with the rest of the room.

Unlike a plaster moulding it will not crumble if it is knocked during the rest of the fit-out, and it can be cut, mitred and scribed on site with ordinary tools — useful in rooms that are not quite square, which is most of them.

Because it is milled rather than cast, the profile stays consistent along the run, and lengths from one order come off the same stock, so grain and colour sit together once the cornice is sealed or painted.

Work out the running length around each room, add the rooms together, and send the total on WhatsApp with the ceiling type. We will price the run and tell you how it will be cut.
