Coving Fitters Braintree

What is Coving? - Coving is a concave, curved moulding which is fitted where ceilings meet walls, to soften the sharp transitions that exist between these surfaces. It can be bought in 2 or 3 metre lengths. You might be surprised to learn that coving and ornate mouldings can be manufactured from a variety of different materials, the most common of which are hardened polyurethane, plastic, MDF, duropolymer, PVC, plaster core, solid wood, polystyrene and gyproc.

To add even more to the confusion you'll also need to make your mind up about what design you want, with options like dentil, art deco, egg and dart, ovolo, cyma reversa (or ogee), cavetto, Edwardian, step, cyma recta and Victorian.

Finding precisely what's right for your situation might be a challenge. If you turn to a professional Braintree coving installer, you will get the best advice and guidance available for this type of task. In any case, we can provide you with the finest tips and tricks right here, so that your home in Braintree can get a great looking coved finish.

It might be that you already have coving in your home and you simply need a local Braintree coving installation specialist to carry out repairs or refurbishment. Your coving and decorative mouldings can get a little shabby after a while and may need some tender loving care to get them looking like new. This might be required for panel mouldings, dado rails, ceiling roses, picture rails, corbels, fire surrounds, dado corners, cornices, wall plaques or coving.

In the case of timber mouldings, your coving work could be done by a joiner, otherwise it is often carried out by a plasterer or a specialist coving fitter in Braintree.

In order to get a high quality finish, the coving work must be done carefully and attentively because this is painstaking work.
