TPlace the LEFT length of moulding in the box as described above and cut at 45 degrees. First mark the entire length of wall around the room with your chalk line box and pencil. Paint, making sure you use only water based paints such as an acrylic. Should cornices be installed before or after tiles in the bathrooms and kitchens? A: Any water based paint can be used to paint the cornices. If the paint directions tell you that the brush can be cleaned with water then you should be safe. Avoid solvent based paints as these will dissolve the polystyrene. Also make sure that no solvent based plaster primer is painted onto the cornice when builders are preparing newly plastered walls or ceilings. Make sure that this is a high quality product to ensure that your cornices do not come loose in the near future. Also a high quality adhesive will not shrink and expose the joins. Q: Should cornices be installed before or after tiles in the bathrooms and kitchens? A: Cornices can be installed before or after the tiles. Cornices can be glued directly onto tiles, however these need to be thoroughly clean prior to installation. Allow sufficient space for the style of cornice that you are interested in.
