Exterior cornice
Premium-class residential buildings, historic-style buildings, and public institutions - all of them require certain architectural elements. There are no small details here: every detail must fit into the chosen style. The most striking way to emphasize the chosen style is with exterior cornices - refined and ornate, yet lightweight and durable thanks to the use of ultra-modern EPS foam material.
Royal Foam's products deliver premium aesthetics, offering over 100 precision-crafted designs for commercial and residential applications. From exterior cornice molding to custom stucco cornice profiles, our lightweight solutions eliminate traditional installation complexities while maintaining the exquisite appearance that defines quality architecture.
Cornices in modern buildings
Cornice exterior elements serve as the defining architectural feature that connects building walls to the roof line. These horizontal decorative bands create natural-looking breaks, depth, shadow lines, and a professional look to any structure.
Traditional natural stone and concrete cornices were wrought with built-in issues, including structural weight requirements, complicated installation routines, and upkeep. Modern exterior foam cornice technology overcomes these challenges without compromising on classical design integrity.
That's why you can't do without cornice systems when finishing a house:
- They visually enhance the overall appearance due to the complex play of shadows and volumetric depth
- Protect the building from excess moisture by directing precipitation water away from wall-roof transitions
- Thanks to the flexible design, you can adapt the structure to various building styles
- They allow you to economically update the facade without making changes to the structure.
Modern EPS foam manufacturing enables accurate reproduction of traditional profiles, providing superior installation characteristics and long-term durability.
Stucco cornice lines and design options
Royal Foam manufactures a wide range of stucco cornices, covering both traditional and contemporary architectural styles. Our CRC series includes over 30 standard models. Custom sizes are also available.
Traditional cornices
This is a subtle nod to history, expressed in majestic horizontals. Classic cornices are inspired by Greek and Roman architectural traditions. They can be decorated with quatrefoils, acanthus leaves (ancient Greek hero ornament), and meander patterns (ancient symbol of luck and wealth).
Also in the catalog are multi-tiered structures with characteristic decorative elements of the ancient era. These cornices are suitable for historic renovation projects, public buildings, luxury homes, and commercial properties that require exquisite architectural detailing.
Contemporary linear cornice designs
Modern exterior cornices feature clean geometric profiles that complement today's architectural styles. Repeating motifs in the form of raised arches or convex rectangles attract attention without being irritating to the eye. Commercial buildings, modern residential projects, and retail spaces often use these streamlined profiles to enhance the appearance.
Custom foam cornices: superpower of design
Special project requirements often demand unique exterior cornice solutions. Royal Foam's manufacturing capabilities include the development of custom profiles based on architectural drawings or site measurements. This service is especially beneficial for those who are involved in restoration projects of historic buildings. EPS foam processing technologies allow for the most accurate reproduction of the original finish details - even if these are numerous baroque swirls.
Applications and building types: where stucco cornices are needed
Cornice exterior installations span broad groups of building types, each with specific performance and aesthetic needs. Royal Foam's range of products is designed to address various architectural needs while delivering consistent quality standards. Our specialists will help you select the right profiles for specific applications, so that they not only last long, but also look elegant and appropriate.
Residential buildings
Single-family residences quite literally get a new look after the installation of stucco cornices. These more refined touches augment not only the exterior's beauty, but the value of the property as well. This holds for both new constructions and remodels: EPS cornice systems are installed without altering the building whatsoever.
Multi-family building complexes often demand the same-profile requirements per several units, ensuring architectural homogeneity while keeping costs through bulk purchasing advantages.
Commercial and institutional projects
Office structures frequently recommend foam cornice systems for business facade enhancement without the cost and weight of traditional materials. A retrofit application particularly benefits from light properties.
Schools, hospitals, and government facilities require strong, minimal-maintenance exterior cornice solutions with the potential for heavy use while continuing to maintain professional appearance standards.
Why EPS foam cornices are the optimal choice for your design
Concrete, natural stone, or gypsum have been traditional cornice materials at various times. However, the existence of such a revolutionary material as EPS foam is forcing contractors to reconsider their priorities.
This material is much more suitable for outdoor use because of its exceptional performance characteristics:
- Excellent moisture resistance - due to the closed-cell foam structure and encapsulating polyurea hard coat, it is difficult for water to physically penetrate inside the cornice
- Ability to maintain structural integrity during freeze-and-thaw cycles without cracking or deterioration - don’t worry about unpleasant surprises in the mid-season
- Shock-resistant properties - thanks to a special encapsulating material, EPS can withstand even intense impacts
- UV resistance
- Using high-end exterior paint ensures long-term color retention.
And of course, expanded polystyrene does not deform, crack, or deteriorate under normal weather conditions.
Weight and installation benefits
Traditional stucco cornice molding installations often require structural reinforcement due to material weight. Our EPS solutions weigh 98% less than stone equivalents, enabling them to be installed on structures not rated for heavy architectural elements.
Also, standard tools are sufficient for cutting, shaping, and fitting operations. No specialized equipment or extensive structural modifications are required, and it significantly reduces labor costs and installation timeframes. If desired, the homeowner can even install our foam cornices themselves. If they opt for hiring a professional contractor, Royal Foam can suggest a local professional.
Cornice installation methods and technical support
Professional installation of EPS cornice boards for building perimeter requires proper preparation. Royal Foam provides comprehensive technical support, including detailed specifications and installation guidelines.
Usually sections of cornice can be simply glued to a wall using a special polymer composition for outdoor work that does not contain acetone (e.g., liquid nails). Standard construction tools are suitable for all cutting and fitting operations.
A step towards DIY-craftsmen
Smaller exterior cornice projects often accommodate owner installation with proper guidance and support. Our technical support team provides installation assistance via phone consultation at (855) EPS-FOAM. Detailed installation guides and video resources ensure the successful completion of DIY projects while maintaining warranty coverage and quality standards.
Help with professional installation
Though for large-scale projects, the help of professional installers might be necessary. These professionals have a good understanding of EPS characteristics and know the correct finishing methods to ensure long-term performance.
If you are at a loss as to who to contact, our specialists will be happy to be your "navigator" in this matter. We have foster contacts with installation professionals nationwide. Project consulting services help to determine appropriate fastening methods, substrate preparation requirements, and finishing characteristics for specific applications.
