Gyprock® CorniceGyprock cornice is designed to provide an attractive finish at the junction of the wall and ceiling. It can be installed on Gyprock plasterboard, fibrous plaster or cement rendered surfaces. Cornice is composed of gypsum plaster encased in a strong linerboard, and comes in a range of profiles.

Standard Cornice

CoveThe simple curved design of Gyprock Cove has made it the standard for Australian builders. This functional profile is available in a range of sizes and creates a gentle transition between the wall and ceiling without making a major statement.

Contemporary Range

Aria™

Aria features a slimline profile with a subtle centre deflection design. A compact 75mm cornice, Aria echoes contemporary architecture at its best. The smooth, streamlined profile of Aria is perfect for spaces that define contemporary elegance.

This timeless cornice design never goes out of style.

PrestoThe smart and subtle design of Gyprock Presto provides a quick to cut, fast to install cornice with a clean, modern finish. This functional profile features a 90mm flat face that creates a 15mm step along the ceiling. A great alternative to the look of square setting,

Presto delivers extra unobtrusive detail to a room whilst still maintaining a feeling of space.

DuoThe simple, strong profile design of Gyprock Duo features modern lines for a short, sharp statement that is ideally suited to modern homes and décor.

| 13

Inspirations Range

Alto™

Gyprock Alto cornice presents a modern profile with smooth surfaces making it the perfect choice for contemporary living. A clever 10mm step along the ceiling edge creates a crisp shadow that perfectly complements a modern

designer space. The 90mm cornice profile delivers a simple and striking presence to any room.

TrioWith its dramatic 3-step profile and strong, modern lines, Gyprock Trio cornice looks right at home in ultra modern spaces, but it’s also a subtle inclusion for a more traditional home. Featuring a compact, 75mm profile, its symmetrical lines suit all ceiling heights and it’s an

ideal cornice for open-plan areas as well as smaller spaces. Installing a Trio cornice is a simple way to add a clever design contrast and balance classic and contemporary elements.

Concerto™

One of the most versatile cornice designs in the range, Concerto combines smooth curves, distinctive lines and sharp centre step to make this 90mm cornice the ideal way to introduce a more formal style into a bedroom or living space. The dramatic shadowing effect it creates

changes the mood of the room at various times of the day – by the evening, you will see a delightful shadow on the Concerto cornice that instantly adds depth of character to the room. Concerto can be installed with the stepped edge either facing up or down to create a completely different effect.

Symphony™

Inspired by European master craftsmen, Gyprock Symphony cornice hits all the right notes with its timeless design. More traditional in style, this 75mm cornice combines a strong shadow line and multi-dimensional curves to create an attractive wave effect. If elegance

defines your space, Symphony is the cornice choice for you. The softer curves of the Symphony cornice also make it ideal for rooms that have lower ceilings.

Tempo™

Clean surfaces and subtle lines make Gyprock Tempo cornice a popular choice for contemporary interiors that require a crisp designer edge in every element of the room. Tempo’s multiple shadow lines and 90mm profile enhance the sense of space in a modern home making it ideal for

open-plan living. Tempo can be used in retrofit applications over 55mm Cove cornice which makes it the perfect option to add style when you are freshening up an existing room.

OUR COMMITMENT TO THE ENVIRONMENTGyprock® is committed to sustainable building through the development of low environmental impact products and systems, environmentally responsible manufacturing and a focus on measurable targets for waste reduction, water and energy savings.

Environmentally responsible manufacturing

Gyprock plasterboard products are manufactured from gypsum, paper and a small amount of additives. Gypsum is a naturally occurring, non-toxic sedimentary rock. The paper liner board used for plasterboard and cornice is made from 100% recycled newspapers and cartons. The energy used in the manufacture of Gyprock is amongst the lowest of any building product1. Emissions are limited to water vapour and products of natural gas consumption.

The majority of Gyprock’s products are Good Environmental Choice Australia accredited, meeting the environmental performance standards that have been created and assessed in conformance to international environmental expectations.

Waste Management and RecyclingGyprock recycles more than 95% of its manufacturing waste either back into the production process or through conversion to by-products such as soil conditioners for the agricultural industry.

Also, for over 10 years, Gyprock has supported a plasterboard recycling service in the major residential building markets along the eastern seaboard.

Energy & Water EfficiencyGyprock seeks to minimise the impact of greenhouse gas emissions by improving energy efficiency across its network of manufacturing facilities.

Gyprock recognises the requirement to use water efficiently. Our storm water and groundwater management, together with the treatment and disposal of water used at our manufacturing facilities, is central to our on-site environmental plans.
