Redefining the ceiling with definition and style
Gyprock launches the new Canto™ cornice
CSR Gyprock®, Australia’s leading plasterboard manufacturer, has introduced the Canto™ profile to its comprehensive cornice range. While minimalistic in form, the 90mm design is distinctive, featuring a stepped ridge that flows into a subtle curve, transforming the ceiling line into a striking feature.
Renee McGinty, General Manager Marketing, CSR, says this year they are seeing greater focus on ceilings and overhead features, with cornices becoming a key design element thanks to the balance of functional and visual benefits they bring. “With modern interiors increasingly more open plan, greater emphasis is being placed on how each surface contributes to the overall look and feel of a space. Capable of influencing the mood, flow and character of a room as much as the walls and floor, today’s ceilings are often referred to as the “fifth wall” of interior design.”
“Cornices help frame walls, and can transform a room simply by the cornice profile a homeowner chooses. Canto, for example, is an elegant profile perfectly suited to Hamptons, Contemporary and Mid-Century interiors and brings balance to a room when paired with complementary features such as skirting, architraves or statement lighting.”
From living rooms to bedrooms, from subtle details to bold statement features, cornices are one of the simplest and most cost-effective ways to refresh a space, instantly changing the mood and providing an elevated detail that turns ordinary spaces into homes with personality and polish, without the need for major structural work.
To help visualise how a cornice will suit a room, Gyprock’s interactive online Cornice Visualiser tool, allows homeowners to experiment with cornice designs in real-time across a variety of room styles with a choice of wall colour, ceiling height, lighting effects and accessories.
With the launch of Canto, Gyprock’s Inspiration range now offers seven different cornice profiles that complement emerging Australian interior style trends
