Cornices in Canada
Cornices Traditionally, elaborate cornice moulding was either made from moulded plaster, or from solid wood such as Oak, then cut to fit around the room.
For a time Paint Grade Pine or Poplar were also a popular choice because any gaps could be filled then covered with paint, whereas flaws in stainable solid wood moulding are harder to mask.
Today’s easy to install, MDF mouldings are easier to finish and offer a variety of decorative profiles.
MDF is less condusive to warping and expansion because it has no grain, it also costs less than finger jointed paint grade wood. Elite Moulding has taken this a step further with EliteTrim�„�.

Winsocting Appliques
Appliques consist of three components: chair-rail, base boards, and a series of design pieces in between, called appliques, cut to resemble picture frames.
They can be finished in a variety of ways using different color paint for the wall and the applique, wallpaper the interior of the applique and paint the applique itself or painting the entire lower wall one single color.
Applique applications are endless and not limited to the lower wall.

Installation of Beard Board Winscoting
Bead Board will give the room a warm comfortable feeling, its beauty lies in its simplicity. It is probably the easiest of all wainscoting to install, regardless of your skill level. Although bead board is fairly self explanatory, it still requires some instruction. This guide will give you some helpful hints and explain some often asked question, so that your installation will look professional without paying professional prices.
Prep work
In order to install bead board, you should start by removing the existing base board. The baseboard in newer homes will likely only be nailed; older homes may have a very hard adhesive behind both the baseboards and casings around the doors. This adhesive can be removed using a sander or by hand using a medium grit sand paper. Do not concern yourself with the finish of the sanding as it will be covered entirely with the bead board.

Bead Board Winscoting
We offer unique, extra wide beads in our beadboard system, 2.5″ wide, up to twice as wide as others. The stiles are made from HDF (high density fiberboard), considerably harder and heaver than MDF , Elite beadboard stiles are only 5.5″ wide, much easier to carry, cut, customize and install than 4 x 4 or 4 x 8 foot panels that you may have seen elsewhere.
We recommend a overall height of about 38�€? but if you prefer, you can go as height as 44�€?. To go higher, you’ll need to install a spacer of the desired additional height and the same thickness of the bead board (11/32�€?) on the wall at floor level. The spacer is required so that the baseboard will sit flat when installed. The stiles are pre-cut at 38�€? for ease of handling and to reduce UPS shipping charges. If you prefer to have you bead board less than 38�€? high, simply cut off what you don�€™t need.
