Coving Fitters Caterham

What is Coving? - Coving is a concave, curved moulding that is installed where walls meet ceilings, to soften the sharp transitions that exist between these surfaces. It is available in 2 or 3m lengths. Coving can be made from a variety of materials including MDF, extruded PVC, plastic, gyproc, plaster core, duropolymer, hardwood, hardened polyurethane and high-density polystyrene.

To add even more to the confusion you will also need to decide about what design and shape you want, with possibilities like dentil, ogee (or cyma reversa), ovolo, art deco, cavetto, egg and dart, Edwardian, cyma recta, Victorian and step.

At this point you may be asking yourself if fitting coving is really such a wise idea!
