Cornice/pelmet fitting

lagi · Post by **lagi** » Thu Dec 10, 2009 2:30 pm

I believe i have some cornice and some pelmet lengths.

Can anybody confirm which goes on top of the cupboards and which goes below.

I have some used sections which are mitred and have stretcher plates attached to them. These look like they may go under the cupboards!!!

But i also have a used length of the other stuff which has holes drilled down one edge but i have no idea how this would connect to either top or bottom.

Also is there some special brackets you use to fit either of these on as maybe i am missing these and thats why i can't make sense of anything???

cornice big and fancy with holes down edge goes on top screwed down from above into top of unit with 3x20 screws

pelmet smaller than cornice goes under cabints and attached with 3x15mm screws through strecter plates!

cornice fits on the top and usually angles out
pelmet is usually about 40mm ish and goes on the bottom

Thats answered everything, even without pics.
As on the box of one it says cornice, so i now know where this goes. It also coincides with the fact there are a load of screw holes down a used spare piece.

Pelmet you have now confirmed has stretcher plates and must be the other bit i have left.

Also speeds pics, can confirm the pelmet looks similar but cornice looks different to that. If i can get any up today will get some pics for you all.
