WHY CHOOSE US?
WHAT IS A CORNICE?
Cornices are typically installed in the corners where the ceilings meet the walls to add depth, interest and style. They primarily serve a functional purpose (to conceal the intersection between the wall and the ceiling), but they can add instant sophistication and elegance to any room, bringing warmth, charm and character to your space.
There are countless designs/profiles in plaster cornice in Australia, including plain cove, bullnose and the various profiles from CSR Gyprock, including Alto, Trio, Converto, Tempo, Symphony, Aria, Duo, and Presto.
The most common profile in Cairns and Australia is the standard cove design; however, we're seeing a trend with businesses and homeowners alike seeking a more unique and elaborate look.
WHAT IS AN ORNAMENTAL CORNICE AND HOW IS IT DIFFERENT?
On the other hand, an ornamental cornice is purely for aesthetic purposes. They still serve the same function as a standard cornice (bridging the meeting point between wall and ceiling), but they are typically more detailed than basic cornice designs because they're intended to stand out and provide a decorative touch to certain areas of your home. The Ornamental cornice profiles, as the name suggests, are very ornamental. They feature more decoration than a standard cornice, including flutes, beads, and corbels that look gorgeous and add a touch of character and style to your space. Ornamental cornices are usually made from gyprock or fibrous plaster.
Ornamental cornice installation is typically done in more noticeable areas and receive more foot traffic, such as larger living rooms or formal spaces. Decorative cornices are also recommended for use in more formal settings such as banks/financial institutions, real estate agencies, professional services and commercial areas where the décor is essential.
It is typical to have ornamental plaster cornice installed in the common areas of a home or business/hotel foyer and then standard cove/plain cornice installed elsewhere. We recommend completing a defined room in one decorative cornice style and not switching between decorative and standard finishes in the same space, as it tends to look a bit mismatched.
WHAT STYLES OF ORNAMENTAL CORNICE ARE THERE?
There are many ornamental profiles, but our personal favourites include:
- Brussels Range
- Avalon Range
- Palladio Range
- Manhattan Range
- Sorbonne Range
- Hamptons Range
- Easy Fix Range
We're confident we can find the perfect style and look for your home with so many options to choose from. Unique decorative cornices are often not in stock and require special ordering, so keep this in mind when you're looking to have decorative cornice installation done. We can source an impressive range of plaster cornices, and we're capable of providing all types of decorative cornice services, so we're well equipped to help!

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF ORNAMENTAL PLASTER CORNICE?

- Increase property value and appeal to buyers
- Give rooms a touch of elegance and style

WHAT HOMES AND PROPERTIES ARE IDEAL FOR ORNAMENTAL PLASTER CORNICE?
Ornamental plaster cornice has become very popular in many homes and commercial spaces, including:
- Period properties, heritage homes and character-filled houses
- Uniquely shaped rooms to add interest/character
- Open plan living areas with high ceilings for an elegant look
- Places that receive a lot of natural light for maximum effect
- Formal settings such as banks/financial institutions, real estate agencies, professional services and commercial spaces where the décor is particularly influential
- New homes aiming for a luxurious, "executive home" feel
- A decorative ornamental cornice is not just limited to homes either! Ornamental cornice can be used in cafes, restaurants, bars, studio apartments, commercial offices, hotels, resorts, etc.
Ornamental plaster cornice matches well with modern or traditional decor, so there will surely be something to suit your taste!
HOW ARE ORNAMENTAL PLASTER CORNICES INSTALLED?
Ornamental plaster cornices are installed using standard decorative cornice's same tools and techniques. Ornamental plaster cornice installation is identical to standard decorative cornice installation; however, the main difference is the importance of matching the flutes, beads and corbels at joints and corners. Ornamental plasterers must take extra care when fixing decorative cornices to ensure that the design of flutes, beads etc., match up perfectly at joins for a professional and seamless finish.
ARE ORNAMENTAL PLASTER CORNICES EXPENSIVE?
Decorative cornices are more expensive than standard plain cornices because of the additional steps and details involved in creating ornamental plaster cornices.
From an installation point of view, due to the detail on decorative cornices, plasterers must take extra care during installation to ensure matching patterns, so this service does cost a bit more than standard decorative cornice installation.
As ornamental cornices are often not kept in stock at local plastering supply wholesalers, additional delivery charges are also incurred. Also, ornamental cornice is often a special-order item, as it is rarely stocked. Depending on availability, delivery can sometimes take up to 4-6 weeks.
However, despite the additional upfront supply and installation cost of decorative ornamental cornices, you will be well rewarded with a long-lasting, striking and stylish finish, not to mention a welcome increase in property value.
WHAT MAINTENANCE DO ORNAMENTAL PLASTER CORNICES REQUIRE?
Ornamental cornices are highly durable, unaffected by moisture and hard-wearing. They can be painted or decorated to suit your living space for maximum effect. Like any other type of cornice, ornamental cornices can still crack with building or structural movement; however, they can be easily repaired.
HOW MUCH DO ORNAMENTAL CORNICE INSTALLATION SERVICES COST?
The cost of an ornamental plaster cornice installation may vary depending on the project's size, design, material, and complexity. There are too many decorative plaster cornice designs, variables and material costs to provide a generalised price. As every property and job is different, contact us today to arrange for a site inspection, consultation and fixed price quote for your specific needs.
PROS AND CONS OF HIRING A PROFESSIONAL VERSUS DOING IT YOURSELF
To hire or not to hire? That is your question as a homeowner or property owner. Sure, with a bit of cornice cement and fundamental construction experience, anyone can install plaster cornice, theoretically. But if you're seeking a high level of finish and detail, it's often wise to hire the services of a
qualified plasterer. An ornamental cornice is more intricate, precise, and time-consuming than a standard cornice, so hiring a qualified plasterer will help ensure the finished product is precisely what you are after. If you are happy with the traditional plain cornice, doing it yourself may be an option.
