Boost Your Home’s Interior with Stylish Plaster-Coated Covings from Homemerce

Introduction
Interior design plays a crucial role in creating a welcoming and aesthetically pleasing environment in your home. One simple yet effective way to enhance your home's interior is by installing coving. Coving is the decorative moulding that transitions between the wall and ceiling, providing a finished, high-end look.

It all depends on your preferences and your project


What is Coving?
Coving serves both a decorative and functional purpose in interior design. Historically, coving was used to conceal imperfections where walls met ceilings. Today, it continues to add visual appeal and a sense of completeness to any room.




Types of Coving Materials
  • Plaster Coving - Plaster coving is traditional and offers a smooth, classic finish. It’s durable but can be heavy (it’s made from gypsum) and more challenging to install compared to modern materials like lightweight EPS Plaster-coated covings.
  • Polystyrene (EPS) Coving - EPS (Expanded Polystyrene) coving, particularly with a plaster coating, is a modern alternative that combines durability with ease of installation. It’s lightweight, shock-proof, and affordable, making it a popular choice for DIY enthusiasts.
  • Other Materials - Other coving materials include polyurethane and MDF. These materials vary in weight, durability, and cost, offering options for different needs and budgets.


Advantages of EPS Plaster Coving
  • Lightweight and Durable - EPS plaster coving is incredibly lightweight, making it easier to handle and install. Despite its lightness, it is remarkably durable and resistant to damage.
  • Water-Resistant and Fire Retardant - The plaster coating on EPS coving makes it water-resistant and fire retardant, ensuring it stands the test of time in various conditions.
  • Cost-Effective - EPS coving is an economical choice, providing a high-end look without the hefty price tag. It’s a cost-effective way to enhance your home’s interior design.




Stylistic Benefits of Coving
  • Enhancing Architectural Details - Coving enhances the architectural details of your space, adding depth and dimension to otherwise plain walls and ceilings.
  • Suitable for Various Interior Styles - Whether your interior style is traditional or contemporary, coving can complement and enhance the overall aesthetic.
  • Concealing Indirect Lighting - Coving is an ideal way to conceal indirect lighting, such as LED strips, creating beautiful accent lighting and ambiance.


Tools and Materials Needed
For installation, you’ll need basic tools such as a miter saw, knife, adhesive, and caulk. EPS coving requires only solvent-free adhesive to fix to the wall/ceiling junction.




Step-by-Step Installation Guide
  1. Measure and cut the coving to fit your room dimensions.
  2. Apply a solvent-free adhesive to the back of the coving.
  3. Secure the coving to the wall and ceiling.
  4. Use a miter saw or knife for custom angles or order premade internal/external corners.
  5. Patch any gaps with acrylic caulk for a seamless finish.
  6. Apply 2-3 coats of paint

Painting and Finishing
Choosing the Right Paint

Application Tips
Apply paint evenly and allow each coat to dry before applying the next. This ensures a smooth and polished look.
Maintenance and Longevity
Cleaning and Care
EPS coving is low-maintenance and can be cleaned with a damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals that might damage the plaster coating.


Repairing Damages
Any small damages can be easily patched with caulk and painted over, blending seamlessly with the rest of the coving.
Cost and Return on Investment
Affordability of EPS Coving
EPS coving is a budget-friendly option, providing high-quality results without breaking the bank.

Installing coving can increase your property’s value by 2-5% or more, making it a worthwhile investment.
