Gyprock

Cornices are designed to provide an attractive nish


at the junction of the wall and ceiling. Gyprock

Cornice Cement
is formulated for adhesion of cornice to plasterboard surfaces. If
the room is already decorated, you will need to treat the adhesion
zone by removing any wallpaper, and sand painted surfaces or
coat with a PVA adhesive such as Bondcrete.
Measuring and Cutting Cornice
1
For accurate alignment of the cornice, mark a line on both
ceiling and wall at a distance from wall/ceiling junction equal to
the size of the cornice e.g. 55mm for a 55mm cove cornice.
2
Install temporary nails to the wall and ceiling close to corners
and at 1.8m centres along the lines. These will support the
cornice until
the adhesive
sets.
3
Measure from
corner to
corner of the
room on the
wall and mark the cornice section to be cut. Use a single length
for each wall if possible.
4
Corner joins are to be mitred. Cut each cornice to length with
a hand saw using a Gyprock Mitremasta

for cove cornice


or a mitre box. If using a mitre box, make sure the cornice is
standing upright in the box in the same orientation as it will be
on the wall.
