Decorative cornices aren’t just for high-end homes anymore. With the right materials and a bit of guidance, they’ve become a practical, affordable upgrade for homeowners and DIYers alike. That’s where Gyproc’s QuickCornice EPS 4-pack range comes in – a lightweight, easy-to-install solution that gives any room a polished, professional finish.
For retailers, this product offers a great value-add. It’s well-priced, user-friendly, and easy to merchandise – specially when paired with adhesive, tools, and paint. And with consumer demand for simple but effective home upgrades continuing to rise, EPS cornices are a category with real potential.
What Makes EPS Cornices So Appealing?
EPS (Expanded Polystyrene) cornices offer all the decorative appeal of traditional plaster, but without the weight, mess, or installation hassles. EPS is durable, moisture-resistant, and most importantly for end users – easy to work with. Even first-time DIYers can handle the product without needing professional tools or experience.
