Coving Fitters Berwick-upon-Tweed

What is Coving? - Coving is a shaped piece of material which is used as a decoration or to cover the transitions between room surfaces i.e. to ameliorate the 90 degree angles between walls and ceilings. Materials such as paper covered plaster, PVC, expanded polystyrene, hardened polyurethane, plastic, solid wood, gyproc, duropolymer and MDF are used to make coving.

Not only are there lots of materials, there are also a multitude of designs and shapes such as cavetto, Victorian, egg and dart, cyma recta, art deco, step, ovolo, Edwardian, dentil and cyma reversa (or ogee).

The addition of coving to any room can subtly yet noticeably enhance the overall look and feel of the space. Its curved shape can soften the transition between ceilings and walls and give your home a more polished look. But, with so many styles and materials to choose from, selecting the right coving for your home can be overwhelming. The decor of your home and your individual preferences should be considered when choosing the perfect coving. The installation process for coving should be completed to the highest possible standard to achieve the best results.

It could make it tricky for you, having so many decisions to make. Asking the advice and guidance of an expert Berwick-upon-Tweed coving fitter, might be a good idea at this stage.

Plaster Coving

Plaster coving is a traditional method of decorative moulding. It requires two people with experience and a high level of expertise to install it properly. Plaster coving is one of the oldest ways to decorate walls in Berwick-upon-Tweed. It is made from lime and gypsum that are consolidated with hessian fibre. Once dried, this material hardens into a smooth, solid stone. This material is often used to install ceiling roses and coving.

Before installing plaster coving, plan and mark its layout. The length of each piece should match the length of the adjacent wall or ceiling. The length of the coving should be as accurate as possible, and each piece should be level. You can then trim the pieces to eliminate gaps. Then, apply a thin layer of adhesive to the join where one piece of coving meets the next. This will ensure a strong bond and prevent cracks from appearing in the future. However, the installation of plaster coving is best left to the professionals, and local coving fitters will be able to provide quotes for its installation.

Plaster coving can be used to add aesthetic appeal to corners and the join between the ceiling and wall. It is lightweight and easy to install and is an effective way to hide the thermal expansion of plasterboard. It is also an attractive way to add resale value to a home in Berwick-upon-Tweed.

Plaster Cornice Repairs Berwick-upon-Tweed

The aesthetic appeal of a building's interior can be significantly improved by prioritising plaster cornice refurbishment. Various factors, including general wear and tear, accidental impact or moisture, can cause damage to cornices - the ornamental molding that decorates the junction between the walls and ceiling.

To successfully repair a plaster cornice, a skilled craftsman with the necessary expertise to evaluate the level of damage and formulate a suitable restoration plan is essential. Cleaning the area, removing any damaged or loosened plaster, and filling in the gaps with new plaster is the usual repair process for a plaster cornice. Replicating intricate designs and patterns is a skill possessed by craftspeople, ensuring that a repaired cornice matches the original features.

Neglecting to repair damaged cornices may result in further deterioration and pose a safety risk to the building's structural integrity. Seeking the aid of a professional is critical for any refurbishment work on a plaster cornice. Preservation of historical integrity in heritage buildings where original features must be maintained is aided by a well-maintained cornice that enhances the property's aesthetic appeal.

What Tradesman Puts up Coving?

Coving installation requires the expertise of skilled tradesmen like carpenters, painters and decorators and plasterers. Plasterers, with their proficiency in decorative moldings, are often chosen for coving projects. They carefully shape and attach plaster or gypsum-based strips to the junctions between ceilings and walls, achieving smooth, seamless transitions. Carpenters, particularly those with expertise in wood or MDF (medium-density fiberboard), also excel in coving installation. They meticulously measure, cut, and fit wooden coving pieces, crafting elegant and intricate designs. Whether installed by plasterers or carpenters, coving not only enhances the aesthetic appeal of a room but also conceals imperfections in wall-ceiling junctions, contributing to a polished and unified interior space. Painters and decorators, particularly those experienced with polystyrene, duropolymer or polyurethane coving, can also handle the installation process effectively.
