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.
