How do I cut the coving for corners?

How do I clean the coving?

Is the coving easy to install?

What if my walls aren't perfectly straight?

Coving can accommodate minor imperfections. However, for significantly uneven walls, you may need to use more adhesive or filler to compensate.

Troubleshooting

Coving doesn't stick to the wall.

Ensure the wall surface is clean and dry. Use an appropriate adhesive for the material and follow the manufacturer's instructions. Consider using additional support, like tape, while the adhesive sets.

Gaps appear at the corners.

Double-check your measurements and cuts. Use a mitre saw for precise angles. Apply filler to fill any gaps and sand smooth before painting.

Coving is damaged during installation.

Handle with care. If the damage is minor, you can often repair it with filler. For severe damage, replace the damaged section.
