You will need to choose if you prefer rounded, classic transitions between your ceilings and walls or stark, modern lines.

A wide variety of materials are used to manufacture coving and these include high-density polystyrene, plastic, gyproc, duropolymer, paper covered plaster, polyurethane, hardwood, PVC and MDF.
