A building's projecting cornice may appear to be heavy and hence in danger of falling, particularly on commercial buildings, but often may actually be very light, made of pressed metal. For large spans add an Ultraspan structural goal post that's hidden inside the Ultrasky Roof and takes the weight of the roof away from bi-folds and sliding doors.

Integrated variable width insulated pelmet helps create the orangery look for less internally and provides housing for spotlights and speakers. The cavetto took the place of the cymatium in many Etruscan temples, often painted with vertical "tongue" patterns, and combined with the distinctive "Etruscan round moulding", often painted with scales. [8] A typical example may be seen at the reconstructed Etruscan temple at Villa Giulia. A cornice return is an architectural detail that occurs where the horizontal cornice of a roof connects to the rake of a gable. [5] :p.67 It is a short horizontal extension of the cornice that occurs on each side of the gable end of the building (see picture of Härnösands rådhus with two of these). The two most common types of cornice return are the Greek return and the soffit return (also called a boxed or box soffit return). The former includes a sloped hip-shape on the inside of the cornice under the eaves which is sheathed or shingled like the rest of the roof above it and is considered very attractive; the latter is a simple return without these features. [10] As window treatment [ edit ] A sleek, small, S shaped or ogee coving profile, with a single detail line running along one edge. Ideal for small rooms. Adheres moulding to almost any surface. Works inside and out, in wet or dry, and in temperatures down to freezing.

The cavetto cornice, often forming less than a quarter-circle, influenced Egypt's neighbours and as well as appearing in early Ancient Greek architecture, it is seen in Syria and ancient Iran, for example at the Tachara palace of Darius I at Persepolis, completed in 486 BC. Inspired by this precedent, it was then revived by Ardashir I (r. 224–41 AD), the founder of the Sasanian dynasty. [7] The term cornice may also be used to describe a form of hard window treatment along the top edge of a window. When used in this context, a cornice represents a board (usually wood) placed above the window to conceal the mechanism for opening and closing drapes. If covered in a layer of cloth and given padding, it is sometimes called a soft cornice rather than a hard cornice. Why are the cornices of Orac Decor® the best choice?
