above-door decoration
Above-door decoration is the general name for the polyurethane crown, pediment, arch and profile pieces applied to the upper part of a door. It is used to emphasise the top transition of the doorway and give the door a framed appearance. It is chosen at interior and exterior door entrances to create classical, neoclassical or simple modern top arrangements. The polyurethane material is light and applies directly with assembly adhesive and screws; it resists moisture and impact, does not crack or swell and can be painted. Being lighter than plaster makes overhead installation easier, and unlike wood it is unaffected by moisture. Because it is mould-cast, the details repeat identically on every piece. Polure produces above-door decoration pieces in a range of forms and sizes.
