Ceiling cornices - types

Depending on the type of curtains, you will be presented with different types of ceiling cornices, differing in the way of fastening, material and appearance.

Types of ceiling cornices

Products can be classified according to several parameters. The first is the number of compartments for fastening hooks for curtains. So, if you plan to hang only a thin tulle, then you will have enough of a classic single-row model. For window decor curtains and curtains will need a two-row ceiling cornice, and for two types of curtains and tulle - three-row.

When choosing the cornice, the material from which it is made is also of great importance. Depending on this indicator, several models can be distinguished:

  1. Ceiling aluminum cornice. The most popular model, which is characterized by a strict design and reasonable price. The cornice has a gray tinge characteristic of aluminum, but sometimes an insert made of rhinestones or glossy material can be used as decor.
  2. Flexible plastic ceiling cornice. This model can bend under any radius, so it is decorated with bay windows, niches and other non-standard projections. In the configuration, it usually comes with a profile, runners with hooks, side plugs and brackets.
  3. Framed ceiling cornice. Perfectly suited to the rooms, made in classical style. Outside the baguette is decorated with a characteristic pattern, reminiscent of carving wood. If you decide to use this model, it is desirable to decorate the window with heavy dense curtains of a rich hue. Light tulle here will look inappropriate.

In addition to the listed options, a hidden ceiling cornice is popular. It is used in the case of a hidden ceiling, when it is necessary to disguise the place where the curtains are fastened. Such a cornice is a narrow tire that is fixed directly on the ceiling. The installation is quite complicated and energy-intensive, but the result is worth the effort - because the mounts are hidden, the curtains seem to float in the air. Looks very elegant and elegant!
