Exterior cornice vs interior plaster cornice

Traditional interior cornice is made from fibrous plaster and designed to finish the junction between an internal wall and ceiling. Kayvic’s handcrafted interior plaster cornice is intended for rooms inside the property.

Outdoor rooflines, soffits and fascias face rain, sunlight and impact, so they need a separate system. Kayvic’s external moulding range is made specifically for exterior applications and includes profiles suited to decorative exterior cornice.

Cornice is one part of a wider scheme of external mouldings UK for rooflines, walls and openings.

Why lightweight exterior cornice?

The look of traditional cement mouldings
Lighter, stronger and more durable
Waterproof Hyper Polymer Coating
UV-resistant and impact-resistant

EPS with a Hyper Polymer Coating

Kayvic exterior cornice mouldings are made from lightweight polystyrene coated with a Hyper Polymer Coating. This creates the look of traditional cement mouldings while being lighter, stronger and more durable.

The coating is waterproof, UV-resistant and impact-resistant—qualities suited to exposed roofline, soffit and fascia details in UK weather.

Exterior cornice for period properties

Cornice helps restore the hierarchy of a period facade by giving the roofline a clear, deliberate finish. Ogee, curved, deep and stepped profiles can introduce the shadow and proportion associated with traditional exterior architectural detail. See classic ogee moulding and stepped cornice moulding.

The same profiles can also bring character to renovations and new-build elevations where a plain eaves or fascia line needs more presence.

Period character

Use curved or stepped profiles to add definition and stronger shadow lines.

Roofline finish

Create a considered transition at eaves, soffit and fascia level.

Renovation

Introduce suitable detail where exterior character has been removed or simplified.

New elevations

Give new-build facades more depth and architectural proportion.
