Ceiling cornices create a decorative transition between walls and ceilings.
Over time, they may crack, loosen, become stained or suffer impact and moisture damage.
Common Cornice Problems
- Hairline cracks
- Open joints
- Cornice separating from the wall
- Water staining
- Broken corners
- Impact damage
- Outdated decorative profiles
Cornice Repair
Minor damage can often be repaired by:
- Removing loose material.
- Cleaning the damaged joint.
- Filling cracks or gaps.
- Re-forming damaged edges.
- Sanding the repaired area.
- Priming and repainting.
Cornice Replacement
Replacement may be more appropriate when:
- The existing cornice is badly damaged.
- Large sections are loose.
- Moisture has deteriorated the material.
- Matching the existing profile is difficult.
- A different design is preferred.
Cornice Removal
Some renovation projects remove decorative cornices entirely for a cleaner wall-to-ceiling transition.
After removal, the affected areas normally require patching, levelling and repainting.
New Cornice Installation
Installation should consider:
- Room dimensions
- Ceiling height
- Existing wall and ceiling condition
- Cornice profile
- Cornice width
- Corners and joints
- Final paint finish
