Coving Fitters Swansea

What is Coving? - Coving is a shaped material, sold in strips, that is used as a decorative element to cover the sharp, ninety degree angles between the surfaces of a room (walls and ceilings specifically). You may be surprised to learn that decorative mouldings and coving can be manufactured from several materials, the most commonplace of which are duropolymer, plaster core, gyproc, plastic, solid wood, high-density polystyrene, hardened polyurethane, MDF and extruded PVC.

To add to the confusion you'll also have to make your mind up about what design you want, with alternatives like Victorian, dentil, art deco, step, cyma reversa (or ogee), cavetto, egg and dart, ovolo, cyma recta and Edwardian.

With so many possibilities available to you, it could be challenging for you to choose what's best for you. This might be a good time to ask the advice and guidance of an experienced Swansea coving installer, who can point you in the right direction.
