Interiors - Coving and Cornice
Interior Coving and Cornice
was once the preserve of the affluent, and typically found in Stately Homes featuring incredible detail, the result of hours of work by skilled craftsmen. Plaster cornices were typically installed in
rooms with high ceilings, creating an opportunity to feature a vast array of elaborate designs.
These varied from floral decals, classical friezes, dentil block styles, or mixed curved and straight edges blended to produce bold decoration.
Victorian's often used simpler cornice styles and panel mouldings some 2 feet or so below the ceiling as a picture rail. Simple clasps would hook over the moulding and be used to display family portraits, and artworks.
Today's home owner may require simple coving, or even look to re-create the elaborate designs of yesteryear. The Orac range of coving offers unparalleled choice, which spans this spectrum. Simple concave coving is the predominant style in the majority of modern homes.
Our interior coving and cornice
is ideal for putting the finishing touches to an Orangery or a grand conservatory.
The Orac Axxent range has a variety of coving styles, from 45mm x 45mm, through to 120 x 120mm. The latest addition to this successful range eliminates the need for fiddly mitre joints, as the CX.100 coving is now available with click fit internal and external corner pieces. Coving couldn't be simpler to install!
Whichever Orac cornice is chosen they all offer a far greater durability than fragile plaster alternatives, and sharper details which are unachievable from polystyrene systems. Used in conjunction with Orac ceiling roses modern interiors can be transformed to give a classical appeal.
Bay window areas and alcoves create immense installation difficulties for traditional cornice systems. Orac flexi takes all these headaches away - please contact us for details.
