What is coving?

Coving is a decorative moulding that is used to cover the joint between the walls and ceilings in a room. It is typically made from plaster, although other materials such as wood or polystyrene can also be used.

Coving is used to add a finishing touch to a room and can help to make a space look more elegant and polished. It can also be used to hide imperfections in the joints between walls and ceilings.

Coving comes in a variety of styles and designs, from simple curved profiles to more ornate patterns with intricate detailing. The size and shape of the coving can also vary, depending on the style of the room and personal preferences.

Installing coving can be a DIY project, although it can be a bit tricky to get the angles right, especially for more complex designs. It is important to measure and cut the coving accurately to ensure a neat and seamless finish. Alternatively, hiring a professional to install the coving can guarantee a flawless result.
