Modern architectural design depends on seamless transitions between walls and ceilings to define the volume and character of an interior space. The cornice category by Polure offers high-density rigid polyurethane (PU) decorative profiles designed as a superior alternative to traditional gypsum plaster and heavy wood moldings. Engineered with a closed-cell structural density of 150-220 kg/m³, these profiles combine the crisp, sharp detailing of carved wood with a lightweight structure that does not add unnecessary load to the building's structural frame.
Technical Performance and Structural Integrity
Unlike fragile plaster alternatives, Polure cornice profiles possess high impact resistance and dimensional stability. Under varying indoor climates, the material experiences no warping, shrinkage, or thermal expansion within a temperature range of -20 °C / +70 °C. With low water absorption (below 1%), these rigid PU profiles are highly rot-resistant, preventing mold growth and material decay in high-humidity zones. In terms of safety, the material has fire class B2 (DIN 4102-1).
Dimensional Variety and Architectural Profiles
The collection accommodates diverse design languages through precise dimensional variations. For compact spaces requiring subtle transitions, models like P81005 (58x2440x55 mm) and P81013 (68x2440x65 mm) offer clean proportions. Mid-scale residential projects with standard ceiling heights of 2.60 to 2.80 meters benefit from balanced profiles such as P81071 (112x2440x90 mm) and P81089 (102x2440x100 mm). For monumental public spaces, high-ceilinged lobbies, or historical restorations, prominent options like P81088 (90x2440x100 mm), P81110 (107x2440x110 mm), or the grand P81134 (125x2400x130 mm) establish visual balance. Specialty elements like 2P81175 (210x1540x470 mm) allow architects to implement elaborate custom ceiling configurations.
Surface Coating and Paint Guidelines
Each profile is shipped with a factory-applied primer that prepares the surface for paint adhesion. While this factory coating ensures a receptive surface, paint manufacturers typically do not extend performance warranties to surfaces painted without their own proprietary primers. Consequently, the application of an additional primer layer prior to final painting is optional and remains at the sole preference of the client. Polure does not guarantee any third-party paint products and accepts no liability for paint finish failures.
Profile heights and specification
The governing dimension is the height the profile drops from the ceiling. Available heights run from 45-470 mm and bars are supplied at 2400-2440 mm (1405-1540 mm on wide classic models), which keeps take-off simple: divide the running metres by the bar length.
| Profile height | Ceiling height | Example | Family |
|---|---|---|---|
| 45 - 70 mm | below 2.40 m | P83004 · P81005 | Plain / slim patterned |
| 90 - 130 mm | 2.40 - 2.70 m | P81601 · P81132 | Plain · Patterned |
| 127 mm stepped | 2.50 - 2.80 m | P831212 | Stepped |
| 150 - 200 mm | 2.70 - 3.00 m | P88091 · P81166 | Plain · Classic |
| 218 - 315 mm | above 3.00 m | P81354 · P81170 | Wide profile |
| 470 mm | above 3.50 m | 2P81175 | Cornice + coving |
Living-room specification
In a living room the cornice sets the perimeter of the ceiling plane. Below 2.70 m a 90-130 mm profile keeps proportion; between 2.70 and 3.00 m specify 150-200 mm; above three metres 218 mm and wider stays legible from the seating position. Detail three points on the drawing: 45° mitres at every return, symmetrical joint spacing on long walls, and the interface with curtain boxes or suspended ceiling steps.
How the price is built up
Four items drive the figure: section (height and width), pattern workmanship, quantity in running metres and roughly 10% cutting waste. Prices cover the product only; delivery and installation are separate and goods are ex-works. Quotations are free and valid for 7 days.
Wet rooms and concealed lighting
Closed-cell polyurethane absorbs less than 1% water, so cornices can be specified in bathrooms and kitchens where plaster would fail. Cornice profiles contain no LED channel: where concealed lighting is required, the dedicated hidden-light profiles are specified alongside them.
Usage Areas
Polure Cornice Molding Coving profiles are engineered for both interior and exterior architectural applications. Indoors, they provide clean junctions between ceilings and walls in residential living rooms, bedrooms, and commercial office spaces. Their moisture-resistant structure (water absorption under 1%) makes them suitable for humid indoor environments such as kitchens, bathrooms, indoor pools, and spa facilities where traditional plaster would fail. Externally, these profiles are utilized as roofline trim, under-eave moldings, and decorative cornices. For all exterior installations, applying a UV-resistant paint is mandatory to prevent the unpainted polyurethane material from yellowing under direct sunlight.
Installation
Successful installation of Polure Cornice Molding Coving requires adhering to a precise technical sequence. The installation surface must be clean, dry, and free of dust or loose paint. Begin by cutting the profiles at a 45-degree angle using a high-precision miter saw to ensure tight corner joints. Apply a high-quality polyurethane (PU) mounting adhesive along the rear bonding surfaces and joints; do not use silicone-based adhesives. Mechanical fixing with screws is mandatory to secure the profiles firmly while the adhesive cures. Once fixed, fill all joint lines and screw heads with a suitable joint putty. After curing, sand the puttied areas smooth using 180-220 grit sandpaper. Apply an optional primer coat if desired, and finish with two coats of high-quality water-based or synthetic paint. For exterior installations, the use of UV-resistant paint and exterior-grade putty is mandatory.
Care Information
Maintaining Polure Cornice Molding Coving profiles requires minimal effort due to their high-density, non-porous surface. Regular cleaning can be performed using a soft, dry, or slightly damp microfiber cloth to remove dust. Avoid using abrasive scrubbing pads, harsh chemical detergents, or alcohol-based solvents, as these can degrade the protective paint layers. Thanks to the high dimensional stability of the 150-220 kg/m³ rigid polyurethane, the profiles offer good resistance to cracking, crumbling, and yellowing over time, providing long-term use under normal indoor conditions.
