Cornices are a decorative molding that typically crowns the top of a building. It is used to help create a nice architectural style finish that makes a building stand out and look beautiful. Derived from ancient Greek architecture, it used to have a functional purpose of making sure rain water does not flow onto the walls of the house. However, in today’s modern era, cornices are mainly now used for aesthetic and design purposes.

Why cornices?

When you use a cornice for your building, you create a sense of prestige for the building and the business within. As they are mainly used for aesthetic choices, cornices also provide depth to a building. This gives it personality and makes for a more attractive and memorable building with curbside appeal for customers. Basically, cornices are the finishing touch you need for a bland square and commercial building.
