FAQs

What type of adhesive should I use?

Use an adhesive specifically designed for polystyrene or expanded polystyrene (EPS).

Can I use this product in a bathroom?

While the product can be used in bathrooms, ensure the area is well-ventilated and consider using a moisture-resistant paint.

How do I cut the corners accurately?

Use a mitre box and fine-tooth saw to achieve precise cuts. Measure twice and cut once!

What kind of paint should I use?

Use an acrylic or water-based paint designed for polystyrene. Avoid solvent-based paints.

How do I clean the coving?

Wipe with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners.

Can I install this on a curved wall?

These coving corners are designed for straight walls and corners. For curved walls, you may need a flexible coving solution.

What's the best way to fill gaps between the coving and the wall?

Use a flexible caulk that is paintable. Apply a smooth bead and wipe away any excess.

How many corners do I need for a room?

You will need one internal and one external corner for each corner of your room. Plan accordingly to avoid running out of stock.

Troubleshooting

Corners don't seem to stay in place.

Ensure you are using the correct adhesive for polystyrene and that the surfaces are clean and dry. Consider using additional support, such as masking tape, while the adhesive sets.

Visible gaps or cracks at the joints.

Use caulk to fill in any gaps. Smooth the caulk with a wet finger or tool to create a seamless finish. Allow the caulk to dry completely before painting.

Paint not adhering properly.

Ensure the coving is primed before painting. Use a paint designed for polystyrene and follow the manufacturer's instructions. Lightly sand the surface if necessary to improve adhesion.
