What is a retrofit Cornice?

What is an Add -on Cornice?

The Add-on cornice is similar to the retrofit where it works with what you have to prevent the need to demo out your current cornice , you add this cornice along the bottom edge to create a brand new look and style , the Add-on cornices usually also have an integrated LED channel to add a lighting element or run a cable along your ceiling line.

Measuring drops for retrofit cornices.

In order to get a perfect fit it is important that you measure the drop of your current cornice to ensure that the retrofit cornices perfectly covers your current cornices. 

To measure the drop you would place a ruler or a tape measure at the bottom of the cornice and measure straight up towards the ceiling.

What if I cant remove my cornices to measure the drop?-If you can't remove your cornice, you can use a right angled ruler or a carpenters square to measure the drop accurately while the cornice is still installed.
