Plaster Coving Installation Somerton

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

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, lighting troughs and recessed ceilings. It is available in a variety of sizes and period designs and is highly fire-resistant.

What is the Difference Between Cornice & Coving?

A source of endless confusion to folks in Somerton, and a question that we are often asked is "What is the difference between cornice and coving?" The reply to this query is that they are fundamentally the same thing.

In Somerton in the post-war period, the term coving was initially used to describe a plain "C" shaped concave moulding that was fashionable at that time. On the other hand, cornices are often incredibly intricate mouldings, that are challenging to install and require the skills of a specialist craftsman in Somerton.
