FAQs

What tools do I need for installation?

You'll need a measuring tape, pencil, fine-toothed saw, mitre box (optional), coving adhesive, filler, sandpaper, and paint.

Can I use this coving in a bathroom?

Yes, but ensure the area is well-ventilated to prevent moisture build-up.

What type of adhesive should I use?

Use an adhesive specifically designed for polystyrene coving.

How do I cut the coving for corners?

Use a mitre box and saw to make 45-degree angle cuts for internal and external corners.

Can I paint the coving any color?

Yes, you can paint it with any water-based or oil-based paint.

How long does it take for the adhesive to dry?

The drying time depends on the adhesive used. Follow the manufacturer's instructions, but it typically takes 24-48 hours.

Is the coving suitable for curved walls?

The coving is designed for straight walls and ceilings. It may not be suitable for heavily curved surfaces.

Troubleshooting

Coving is not sticking to the wall.

Ensure the wall surface is clean and dry. Use a suitable adhesive and apply it evenly to the coving. Check that you are pressing the coving firmly against the wall and ceiling for the recommended time.

Gaps or cracks appear at the joins.

Ensure the mitre cuts are accurate and fit together snugly. Use adhesive to fill any gaps. Apply filler and sand smooth once dry, then paint over.

Coving is damaged during installation.

Handle the coving with care. Use a sharp blade for cutting and avoid applying excessive pressure. If damage occurs, use filler to repair, sand smooth, and repaint.
