Plaster Coving Installation Glenfield

Plaster coving is a traditional method of decorative moulding. It requires two people with experience and a high level of skill to install it correctly.

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 precise 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 in the future.

Plaster coving is a decorative plasterwork element that ties the walls and ceiling together. It is typically fixed in the wall-to-ceiling joint and can be used in coiffured ceilings, recessed ceilings and lighting troughs. It is available in a variety of sizes and period designs and is highly fire-resistant.
