Gypsum board cornices for clean ceiling junctions, concealed LED lighting or curtain tracks. Plan depth, service access and finish before framing. A cornice can conceal a curtain track, define a ceiling line or create indirect lighting. Curtain support, LED heat and access are different requirements. Start with room measurements and the intended use.

Choose the purpose

A cornice can conceal a curtain track, define a ceiling line or create indirect lighting. Curtain support, LED heat and access are different requirements. Start with room measurements and the intended use.

Geometry and maintenance

Mark depth, height, windows, furniture, AC and light direction before framing. Keep drivers and connections accessible. A qualified trade handles electrical work. Check line straightness with the intended lights switched on.

Quote and finish

List linear metres, corners, framing, boards, curtain backing, LED preparation, access, skim coat, primer and paint. Complex shapes and occupied rooms can affect cost more than length alone. Check fixing and maintenance access at handover.

Curtain clearance and support

Measure the window, sill, radiator and curtain fabric before setting the recess. Leave travel space and track access. Heavy curtains need planned backing or structural fixing, not just a board edge. Check nearby cabinetry and AC routes.

LED access and visible finish

Hide the light source from direct view but keep drivers and connections serviceable. Agree the LED profile, power location, switching and diffuser before framing. Grazing light reveals uneven skim coat, so inspect the finish with the actual lighting. A qualified trade handles electrical connections.

Shape, height and handover

A deep box can make a small room feel lower. Mark corners, doors and furniture before choosing the shape. The quote should state linear length, returns and finish. At handover check curtain fixing, clearances, straightness and LED access.

Nikolai came and was very helpful in solving the problem in the kitchen, but then we waited more than a month and a half for the work to be done. Finally, the quality of work is perfect.

Questions

Questions

Can one cornice combine lighting and curtains?

Yes, when dimensions, curtain backing, power and LED service access are planned together.

Sometimes, depending on the structure and space for the frame, track and access. Inspect first.

How far should curtains sit from the window?

Where should an LED driver go?

In a suitable accessible position, with maintenance access.

Can the cornice match the ceiling paint?

Usually, after jointing and priming. Check the finish with the planned light on.
