There is a wide range of materials you can get and some are better than others

Garth · Answer

all Depends on the house which ones you go for, even plasterboard cornices fitted correctly will last as long as any plasterboard ceiling 50+ years , plaster cornices do look great, more choice and styles but are dearer to buy/install and more resilient should you have a water leak from above - Garth’s plastering
