Axxent Lightweight Coving

The addition of an interior moulding such as cornice, coving, ceiling rose or skirting board, is a fantastic way to add unique character, charm and beauty to your home’s existing interior design. A decorative moulding can cover transitional lines between various surfaces, creating a cleaner finish. Decorative mouldings can come in range of styles, shapes and profiles to suit every property style, from grand Victorian houses to minimalistic new builds. The personality and architecture of your home should be reflected in the designs and interior mouldings you install. Express your personal style through the addition of one of our lightweight mouldings.

There are styles to suit the ceiling of every home including Victorian, Georgian Edwardian as well as modern built properties.  The Axxent range features many plain style covings as well as patterned coving designs.  All of the covings are finished with a white primer and are ready for installation using our specialist Orac adhesive and tool products.

What is the difference between coving and cornice?

The terms coving and cornice are often intertwined. However, there is a slight difference as the term cornice refers to a moulding designed to conceal the joint between the wall and ceiling, whereas coving usually refers to the style and type of cornice profile, usually a simplistic uniform design. 

What is the best type of coving? 

The best type of coving is lightweight Purotouch or Duropolymer. Purotouch is a high-quality and high-density polyurethane material that allows fine details. Duropolymer is an extruded and impact-resistant polymer based on a high-density polystyrene material. Lightweight coving creates a long-lasting and refined finish, and is also easier to install than plaster coving. 

What does coving mean? 

Coving is a concave shaped moulding fitted as an interior feature between a wall and ceiling. 

Is coving old fashioned? 

Plain and decorative coving both look seamless in all properties, from the greatest Victorian houses to minimal modern homes. Old fashioned coving creates a seamless curve and transition between the top of the wall and ceiling, emulating the skirting board at the opposite end of the wall. Coving is a timeless and popular interior moulding, making it a key feature in all properties.
