Cornice Moulding Finish Carpenters

What is cornice and where is it used?

Cornice trim is a decorative molding that runs horizontally along the top of a wall, similar to corwn moulding, but typically outside a building.

Exterior Rooflines

Along the eaves or gables to cover the transition between the roof and walls, enhancing aesthetics and protecting from weather.

Window and Door Frames

As a decorative surround to highlight openings or conceal structural joints.

Porches and Balconies

To embellish the transition between vertical supports and rooflines, common in classical architecture.

Parapets

On flat-roofed buildings to define the roof edge and improve visual appeal.

Material Options for Cornice Trim
Wood

Baseboards create a polished, finished look by covering the joint between walls and floors, enhancing the overall design and adding elegance or style to any room.

Polyurethane

Lightweight, cost-effective, and available in pre-formed designs. Resistant to moisture and insects, making it suitable for both interior and exterior applications.

Stone or Brick

Heavy, durable, and used for a classic, upscale look. Common in historic or luxury buildings but costly and labor-intensive to install.
