What is the Difference Between Cornice & Coving?

A question that we're commonly asked by bewildered homeowners in Burnham-on-Sea, is "What's the difference between coving and cornice?" The reply that you will perhaps not be anticipating, is that they are in essence the same. The primary thing that sets the two apart is that a coving usually has a simple shape, while a cornice is frequently far more elaborate and ornate. Originally, the term coving was used to describe a basic "C" shaped moulding that was prevalent in post-world war period in Burnham-on-Sea. Cornices, on the other hand, are often exceptionally elaborate mouldings that will have to be put up by an expert craftsman in Burnham-on-Sea if they are to be installed properly.
