What is Coving? - Coving, which is bought in 2m or 3m strips, is an ornamental moulding that is primarily used to hide the 90 degree angle where a wall meets a ceiling.

There are also a multitude of designs and shapes to choose from including cavetto, Edwardian, cyma reversa (or ogee), egg and dart, dentil, cyma recta, step, art deco, ovolo and Victorian.

What's the Difference Between Coving and Cornice?

A question that we are regularly asked by puzzled homeowners in Whitehaven, is "What exactly is the difference between cornice and coving?" The response that you'll probably not be expecting, is that they're in essence the same. If you had to pinpoint a distinction between the two, it is that covings are basically simple in design, while cornices are much more fancy. The term coving was originally used in relation to a plain "C" shaped concave moulding that was fashionable in Whitehaven in the post-war period. Cornices, on the other hand, are often exceedingly intricate mouldings that must be cut and put up by a master craftsman in Whitehaven if they are to be installed correctly.
