Frequently Asked Questions

Decorative plasterwork uses moulded plaster features—such as cornices, coving, ceiling roses, arches, corbels, columns, dado rails, niches and panels—to add detail to interior spaces.

Cornice often has a more decorative profile, while coving is usually simpler, with a curved transition between wall and ceiling. Both are available in styles for traditional and modern interiors.

Plaster offers crisp detail, durability and the ability to repair or reproduce original period profiles. The best material depends on the property and project.

Cornices and coving are commonly fitted in living rooms, dining rooms, hallways, staircases, bedrooms and reception areas.
