Answers to common questions about our handcrafted plaster mouldings, installation, delivery, and restoration services.

What is plaster cornice made of?
Kayvic plaster cornice is made from fibrous plaster — plaster of Paris reinforced with hessian fibre. This produces a durable, lightweight product suitable for interior installation.
Do you deliver across the UK?
Yes. We offer UK-wide delivery on all our plaster mouldings. Delivery costs depend on order size and location. Contact us for a delivery quote.
Can you match an existing cornice profile?
Yes. Our bespoke replication service allows us to match existing period mouldings. Send us a sample, drawing or photograph and we will reproduce the profile as accurately as possible.
Do you offer a fitting service?
Yes. We provide installation services in South Wales and surrounding areas. We can also advise on approved installers in other regions.
How do I measure for cornice?
Measure the perimeter of the room at ceiling level and add 10–15% for waste and mitres. Use our free cornice calculator for an instant estimate.
