Q. How do I measure any window or bay window?
You can mail in a paper template that exactly matches the window or bay window. Measure the width of your window including blinds, curtains, or molding (whichever is the widest) and add a minimum of 1″ per side, or more, according to personal preference. Also measure the return (projection) that you would like the cornice to be and stand out. Or simply follow the steps for a quick and easy measurement.

As often as you wish! Maybe you will want to change for the holidays or seasons, or just for company. Of course, common sense suggests treating the foam cornices with care while decorating them.
How wide of a foam cornice can I order?
All you have to do is let us know what size window you have. We will take care of the rest. We specialize in large and small orders. Foam cornices that are over 5 ft. we will have to cut in half for S&H purposes. Foam cornices are very easy to assemble .
Please Note: The foam adds extra width. So the window measurement that is given to us is not the finish width of the whole cornice. The cornice will be bigger and will add 4″ to 8″ extra to the finish width of the cornice.
Can I return the foam cornice?
