Types of Cornice We Install

Cornice profiles range from simple and contemporary to highly ornate heritage designs, and the right choice depends on the architectural character of the home and the client’s brief.

  • Cove cornice — a simple curved profile that transitions smoothly from wall to ceiling. The most common contemporary choice, clean and versatile.
  • Ogee and stepped profiles — more detailed contemporary profiles that add more visual interest than a plain cove.
  • Federation and Victorian profiles — more elaborate decorative mouldings appropriate for heritage and period homes. These profiles can be sourced from specialist manufacturers or, for complex heritage work, replicated from existing cornice using moulds.
  • Ornamental and acanthus cornices — highly decorative profiles for formal rooms, entry halls, and heritage restorations where the cornice is an architectural feature in its own right.
  • Ceiling roses — circular ornamental plaster features typically used in conjunction with light fittings in period rooms.

Plaster Cornice Installer Near You in Melbourne

Cornice is the moulded profile that runs along the junction of walls and ceilings, adding visual definition to a room and concealing the raw joint between two surfaces. In Melbourne’s vast stock of period and heritage homes, ornamental plaster cornices are one of the most distinctive architectural features — and one that requires a skilled plasterer to install, repair, or replicate properly.

Alleviate Plaster and Paint installs plaster cornices for homes and commercial buildings across Melbourne. Whether you need a simple cove cornice in a new build, a matching period profile in a Victorian or Edwardian renovation, or a repair to damaged heritage cornice, we have the skill and experience to deliver it.

Heritage Cornice Matching and Repair

Melbourne has a significant stock of Victorian, Edwardian, and Federation era homes with original ornamental plaster cornices. When these cornices are damaged — cracked sections, missing lengths, or cornices that have been partially removed during previous renovations — matching the existing profile is essential to restoring the character of the room.

Alleviate Plaster and Paint can match cornice profiles for heritage properties by sourcing the closest available commercial profile to the existing design, or by working with specialist suppliers to source or cast a matching profile for complex heritage work. We assess the existing cornice, measure the profile, and recommend the best approach for your specific situation before any work commences.

Cornice repair — filling cracks, re-adhering sections that have come away from the wall or ceiling, and replacing missing lengths — is also a service Alleviate Plaster and Paint provides. See our plaster repair page for more information on repair work generally.

Cornice Installation in New Builds and Renovations

In new builds and contemporary renovations, cornice installation is typically one of the final stages of the plastering scope — installed after the walls and ceilings are lined and finished, and before painting commences.

Alleviate Plaster and Paint installs cornice as part of broader plastering engagements or as a standalone trade for builders and homeowners who need a cornice installed after other plastering has been completed. We work cleanly, minimise mess, and leave the installed cornice in a condition ready for the painter.

If you are planning a renovation and want both plastering and painting handled by one contractor, Alleviate Plaster and Paint can manage the entire process from bare framing to painted and cornice-finished walls. Ask about our combined plaster and paint approach when you contact us.

FAQs

Alleviate Plaster and Paint assesses the existing cornice profile and sources the closest available commercial match, or works with specialist suppliers for more complex heritage profiles. For very ornate or unusual profiles, we can advise on options including custom casting. We will be transparent about what can and cannot be matched precisely before any work commences.
Cornice is installed after the walls and ceilings are plastered and finished, but before painting. After installation, the cornice is filled at the joints and any gaps are caulked before the painter applies the finish coat. {BN} coordinates with the painting programme to ensure cornice is installed at the right time.
Plaster cornice is adhered using cornice cement (a fast-setting plaster adhesive), applied to both the wall and ceiling faces of the cornice and pressed firmly into position. The joints between lengths are filled and the profile is touched up to achieve a seamless run. For heavier or larger profiles, mechanical fixings may be used in addition to the adhesive.
