What is Coving? - Coving, which is available in strips, is an ornamental moulding that's primarily used to cover or conceal the angle where a ceiling meets a wall. A wide variety of materials are used to manufacture coving and these include polystyrene, softwood, plastic, extruded PVC, duropolymer, plaster, gyproc, MDF and hardened polyurethane.

As well as a variety of materials, you'll additionally need to select a design and shape such as ovolo, egg and dart, ogee, dentil, Victorian, art deco, Edwardian, cavetto, cyma recta and step.

Plaster Coving Installation Lee-on-the-Solent

Plaster coving is a traditional method of decorative moulding. It requires two people with experience and a high level of expertise 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. However, the installation of plaster coving is best left to the professionals, and local coving fitters will be able to provide quotes for its installation.

Plaster coving can be used to add aesthetic appeal to corners and the join between the ceiling and wall. It is lightweight and easy to install and is an effective way to hide the thermal expansion of plasterboard. It is also an attractive way to add resale value to a home in Lee-on-the-Solent.
