One of the most effective ways to add elegance and depth to interiors, Decorative Cornices are presented in Polure’s special collection for architects and designers. These products provide an aesthetic touch to ceiling and wall transitions, manufactured from high-density polyurethane material, and enrich spaces with the intricate detail of their motifs. Unlike the time-consuming, fragile, and laborious nature of traditional plaster applications, Polure Decorative Cornice models stand out with their lightness, durability, and practical installation advantages. Each piece finds its place across a wide range of styles, from classical architecture to neoclassical lines, from Baroque grandeur to modern avant-garde approaches.
The Polyurethane Advantage in Decorative Cornices
The most distinctive feature of polyurethane material is its ability to flawlessly process motifs down to the finest detail. Unlike plaster cornices, which often show flaking, cracking, or loss of motifs over time, these issues are not a concern with our polyurethane products. For example, our P81005 model, with its compact 58 mm size, offers a sophisticated touch to spaces, while larger models like P81134 (125 mm x 130 mm) exhibit monumental grandeur in spacious and high-ceilinged rooms. Thanks to their closed-cell structure, these products exhibit superior resistance to water and moisture, making them safe for use even in humid areas like bathrooms and kitchens. Being up to 90% lighter compared to marble or plaster, they do not impose additional load on the structure and simplify the application process. At Polure, our Decorative Cornices are delivered factory-primed, providing a smooth and perfect surface for painting.
Spatial Impact and Design Freedom
Decorative Cornices have the power to optically balance or accentuate a room's ceiling height. Models like P81110, measuring 107x110 mm, soften the transition between wall and ceiling, creating a more cohesive and aesthetic perception of the space. Thanks to high-density casting techniques, every motif, such as the elegant lines of the P81089 model, follows seamlessly. This continuity meets the high-quality standards sought in hotel projects, historical building restorations, or luxury residential designs. Our products are compatible with all types of acrylic or water-based interior paints, granting designers complete freedom in their color palette. They offer an ideal surface for special applications like gold leaf, silver antiquing, or patination, opening doors to creative projects.
Durability and Environmental Approach
Every Decorative Cornice in our collection is produced in molds prepared with CNC technology. From specially sized models like 2P81175 (210x470 mm) to minimalist designs like P81013 (68x65 mm), all our products have a shock-resistant structure. Thanks to their flexible nature, unlike plaster, they are more resistant to cracking caused by structural movements or foundation settling. These long-lasting products also offer an additional insulation contribution by alleviating thermal bridges at ceiling corners. Polure guarantees that these cornices, produced with eco-friendly manufacturing processes, do not emit harmful gases that would negatively impact indoor air quality, thereby supporting the creation of safe and healthy living spaces.
Usage Areas
Decorative Cornices offer versatile solutions for architects and homeowners looking to add a sophisticated ambiance to interiors. They are ideal for accentuating the grandeur of ceilings in large living rooms and dining rooms, creating a cohesive framework with furniture and wall decor. While opulent models like P81134 are preferred in high-ceilinged villas, more elegant sizes such as P81005 or P81013 ensure a balanced look in standard apartments. Thanks to polyurethane material's resistance to water and moisture, it is the only reliable alternative to plaster for decorating ceiling corners in areas like bathrooms and kitchens. They are frequently used as a symbol of corporate prestige in hotel lobbies, restaurants, and executive floors of offices. Furthermore, in exterior applications, such as under-eave decorations or entrance portals, they can create a classic architectural touch when painted with appropriate exterior paint.
Installation
Installing Polure Decorative Cornices is a highly practical and clean process when applied with the correct techniques and materials. The first step is to ensure that the ceiling and wall surfaces where the application will take place are completely free of dust, oil, and moisture. After determining the cornice layout, precise cuts should be made at 45-degree angles, especially for corner joints, using a miter cutting tool. This step is crucial for an aesthetic finish. For the bonding process, Polure's high-strength Polifix adhesive is applied in even strips to the back of the product. After the cornice is secured in place, it can be temporarily supported with thin nails if necessary while the adhesive fully cures. Millimetric gaps that may occur at joints and wall-ceiling transition lines should be filled with acrylic sealant or polyurethane filler and smoothed. This joint filling process ensures the product appears as a single cast piece, offering a professional finish.
Care Information
Decorative Cornices are long-lasting and low-maintenance products. Using a soft brush or a slightly damp cloth is sufficient to remove surface dust. The closed-cell structure of the products prevents dirt and stains from penetrating deeply, making cleaning easy. Abrasive chemicals or harsh surface cleaners should be strictly avoided to prevent damage to the motifs. These cornices retain their form for over 20 years under normal room conditions, showing no yellowing or deformation over time. If a change in the room's color palette is desired, a light sanding might be required on the existing paint, after which the desired color paint can be easily applied. This feature guarantees design flexibility and long-term ease of use.
