Pressed Metal Ceiling Cornices

Pressed metal ceiling cornices create a decorative transition between the wall and ceiling and can be coordinated with ceiling panels, borders and ceiling roses. Compare SPM’s current small, medium and large ranges below, then send the room dimensions, ceiling height, photographs and matching requirements so the team can confirm the current profile information and quote details.

Standard supply-only cornices are generally raw aluminium; etch-prime can be added where required. Finishing options can be included as part of an installed project where specified. Installation is available in Sydney and selected locations across NSW, depending on the project. Ask SPM about sample availability.

Compare the current cornice ranges

  • Small Cornice: 50mm – 120mm.
  • Medium Cornice: 125mm – 190mm.
  • Large Cornice: 200mm – 400mm.

These are the current published range labels. Ask SPM to confirm the selected profile’s current dimensions and whether a number describes face width, depth, projection or another product measurement.

How to choose a pressed metal cornice

Start with the room and ceiling

Record the room dimensions and ceiling height, then consider the desired visual weight at the wall-to-ceiling junction. A larger label does not by itself determine suitability for a particular room.

Compare the complete profile

Use the current range pages to shortlist a profile. Ask SPM to confirm the current profile information, including relevant face, depth or projection details, rather than calculating an order from a single nominal number.

Coordinate adjoining ceiling details

Include the selected ceiling panels, borders and ceiling rose. For matching or restoration work, provide clear close-up images, a ruler or scale and a sample if requested. Matching feasibility depends on the existing profile, usable sample, condition, tooling and agreed scope.

What to send for a cornice quote

  • Room dimensions and wall lengths.
  • Ceiling height.
  • Internal and external corner count.
  • Clear photographs, plans or elevations.
  • Cornice range, profile or product preference.
  • Ceiling panel, border and rose selections.
  • New, matching or restoration scope.
  • Supply-only or installation requirement.
  • Suburb or postcode and preferred timeframe.

Approximate dimensions are acceptable for an initial enquiry. Ordering allowance, cutting, joints, fixing details and site tolerances will be confirmed in the quotation rather than prescribed on this page.
