Coving Fitters Darwen

What is Coving? - Coving is an architectural term, signifying a concave, curved material which is used to cover and ameliorate the angles where walls meet ceilings within a building. A wide range of materials are used to make coving and decorative mouldings and these include plaster, polyurethane, high-density polystyrene, MDF, gyproc, extruded PVC, duropolymer, softwood and plastic.

Shape and design is another choice you'll have to make and among those on offer are dentil, ogee, cavetto, cyma recta, Victorian, egg and dart, art deco, step, ovolo and Edwardian.
