Cornices (also known as moulding or crown moulding) are decorative or plain mouldings used in both residential and commercial buildings, typically at the junction of walls and ceilings. They serve both aesthetic and functional purposes. Aesthetically, they can enhance the appearance of a room, hide imperfections, and define spaces. Functionally, they can conceal gaps, integrate lighting, and protect walls from rain water.
The simple answer is yes, they can be used in a bathroom. And yes, they are waterproof.
Of course they can, they don’t have built in fans or superpowers. Please dust them off once every 2-3 months.
They are fire retardant up to a point, but will melt under extreme temperatures. They can be used around a fireplace, but if it’s too close , it’ll warp a little. We’re talking really hot though, like taking a lighter and lighting it hot.
Absolutely, please use PVA paint, not enamel based paints as it will eat through the polystyrene. They are fixed using our Cornice Adhesive. All adhesive is tried and tested.
Only certain EPS painted polystyrene, otherwise no not your standard XPS or EPS polystyrene cornices.
Long, like 10 years plus long, but you might want to get new designs by then. Long enough to make it worth your time and money.
The higher the ceiling, the bigger the cornices. Small cornices in a massive double volume house like out of place. Cornices won’t cost an arm and a leg, so get the right cornice for the right room.
Bathroom – 100mm cornices
Rooms – 100mm to 140 mm cornices
House and passages – Typically 140mm
Double volume or high ceilings (Higher than 2.7m) – 180mm plus size cornice.
No, they cannot.
A mitre box and mitre saw is used. Please contact us for help and directions 😊
Between ceilings and walls at a 90 degree angle.
Do they come in different colours – Unfortunately only available in white, which you will have to paint.
PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride) ceilings have several advantages, such as:
They are Water Resistant. PVC ceilings are ideal for areas prone to moisture, such as bathrooms and kitchens, as they are resistant to water damage and humidity. They are super easy to Install as they are lightweight and cost effective as labour costs are reduced big time. Usually a third of the time compared to installing standard ceiling boards.
PVC ceilings are resistant to scratches, cracks, and fading, making them a long-lasting option. They are easy to clean and maintain, and they don’t require any painting or coating. No plastering at all!
PVC ceilings are fire-resistant and meet safety standards, providing an added layer of protection.
These ceilings are a budget-friendly option compared to traditional ceilings and come in a variety of designs, colours and patterns offering design flexibility.
PVC ceilings are resistant to termite damage, reducing the risk of structural damage. They are made from recyclable materials, making them a more sustainable option.
Overall, PVC ceilings offer a practical and stylish solution for various applications!
No, please no as they are not UV protected.
Yes, as long as there is no direct sunlight. Note we have specific thicker PVC wall panels made for walls that are used in decorative spaces, kitches, factories etc.
Yes yes yes and yes. Don’t go let it touch the fire as it will warp, but at least 800mm away from the fire.
You definitely can, this is why people prefer the pvc ceilings. Heat emitted from led’s is no where near as hot to make it burn.
Bamboo charcoal wall panels are a type of decorative panel made from a combination of PVC (polyvinyl chloride) material and bamboo charcoal powder. These panels offer several advantages, including:
In summary, bamboo charcoal wall panels offer a range of benefits, including sound insulation, waterproofing, moisture-proofing, mildew-proofing, flame retardancy, natural aesthetics, easy installation, and maintenance, making them an excellent choice for both residential and commercial interior design projects
Yes they can, please explore this option as they are seriously beautiful. We use our Tileflex to stick it on all purposes, even in bathrooms!
Yes and no. Reason being they are heavy and they need to be glued on, so typical brandering won’t hold it up. Only if you have cement ceilings or a ceiling that can carry weight and has a space to fix it with adhesive.
Skirtings, also known as skirting boards or baseboards in America, are a type of moulding that runs along the border between the interior wall and the floor. They serve several functional purposes in construction and interior design, including:
Skirtings are available in various materials, such as wood, polymer, MDF, and PVC, and have different styles and sizes.
Depends on what you mean by durable? Long lasting yes, most our products are insect and termite proof, waterproof and they are super strong.
Yes, for bumps and knicks. Don’t go take scissors and scratch them as they will have a scratch mark.
Only the wood, mdf and white polymer skirtings are paintable. NOT the PVC skirtings.
No, don’t be ridiculous. If you want flexible skirtings, we sell special flexible skirtings that are made for rounded areas, such as pillars and stairs.
Polymer and PVC Skirtings can be used outside.
Yes, but not recommended as they are very very heavy, so it would be impractical.
Absolutely frikken yes!! Many interior designers have done this and they look stunning.

Not with a broom, with a 1 ton bakkie maybe, but you have to hit it really hard to make it squeal.

Simply put, No. WPC (wall plastic composite) cladding cannot be used outside, only inside as there are other harder thicker UV protected composite materials used for outdoor purposes.
Yes, currently used in a few bathrooms as feature walls and we haven’t had any issues, as they are meant to be waterproof.
No, please don’t paint them, hence why they come in a variety of colours. We can get paintable cladding, but you’re going to add some extra moola
