What is a cornice?

It is a strip of stone or wood or plastic or concrete and cement that is always installed at the bottom and along the wall. Its height is much less compared to the wall and generally it is prominent compared to the wall. The cornice in the buildings not only creates an eye-catching beauty in the design and decoration of the building, but also prevents the transfer of moisture, damage to the wall, and objects hitting the corners of the walls.

Applications of ceramic cornice
The most important task of the cornice is to protect the surface layer of the wall against damage caused by household appliances and to prevent water and moisture from penetrating the floor to the wall. According to such a characteristic, its uses can be listed:
1- Use in building walls, including kitchens, reception rooms, bathrooms, etc. for beauty and harmony in building architecture.
2- Preventing moisture from entering the wall
3- Prevention of erosion and decay of the wall surface
4- Preventing the entry of insects and other animals into the wall tissue
5- In some cornices, such as MDF cornices, its space can be used as a duct to pass wires and electric cables.

Types of ceramic cornices

Types of cornices based on material
Wooden cornice: This type of cornice, as its name suggests, is made of wood from different trees. It has a higher cost than the MDF type. Oak, pine, cherry and walnut trees are the most used in making this type of cornices. Of course, to increase the life of these cornices, they are covered with resins and chemicals.

Coated mdf baseboard
PVC cornice: PVC cornice is one of the newest types of cornice, plastic cornice is actually made up of profile branches and several layers of different plastic materials. The sealing property and diversity in color and design are the main reasons for using this type of cornice.

One of the most widely used uses of PVC cornice is in places near water or in areas in the north or south of the country that have humidity. PVC cornices are also called waterproof cornices, but due to their small thickness, they are suitable for installing parquet and laminate because they do not fill the empty space between the laminate and the wall. It is also not possible to paint this type of cornice.

Plastic cornice
This type of cornice is made of plastic, which in scientific terms is called polyvinyl chloride, and it has a very high sales due to its much cheaper price, waterproofness, high usage, etc. Plastic skirting boards are easy to install and very durable.

Some natural stones are obtained by turning with a CNC turning machine. Travertine stone, marble stone, porcelain stone, marble stone, granite stone are suitable stones for cornices, among which travertine and marble cornices are more common than others. However, Chinese stones are also a good option

Ceramic cornice

The types of ceramic cornices also have the same characteristics as ceramics because they are made of ceramics.

Adhesive cornices
As the name suggests, they can be attached to other models.

Installation of cornice

The installation of cornice has different processes and therefore different installation costs according to the type and dimensions. But there are a series of general steps in the installation of cornices, which we will discuss in this section.
– Before starting, the location of the cornice must be clean and clean, and the edges of the walls must be free of any dirt, low or high. This step is very necessary for cornices that are installed with glue and has a direct impact on the final quality of the work.
– In the second step, the wall should be measured. Be sure to keep in mind that 10 to 15 percent of the cornice should be included as waste.
In the third stage, the installer places the cornices on the lower part of the wall, and the main point of this stage is to pay attention to the corners of the wall as well as the angular parts of the wall.
– In the final stage, according to the type and material of the cornice, the installer selects the material that makes it stick to the wall and rubs it on the back of the cornice and then installs them on the wall in order.

Types of dimensions of ceramic wall cornice
In general, cornices have two sizes of 7 and 9 cm in terms of height, and their length is usually 280 or 336 cm. The thickness of the cornice should be considered from the heel side or the lowest and thickest part of the cornice, which is equivalent to 16 mm as a standard.
A 7 cm high cornice is suitable for small halls and a 9 cm cornice for larger spaces.

The price of cornice
The cornice has different prices according to the type, material and design. Regarding the price of the cornice, considering the ups and downs of the prices in the market, we can only address various factors that are effective in the price changes of the cornice:
1- The first and most important factor is the type and quality of the cornice materials, the higher the quality, the higher the price. For example, the cornice made of marble is certainly more expensive than other types of natural stones.
