Title: Coving
Post by Lectrician on Feb 3^rd, 2008, 7:15pm

I have taken down the crappy 2" polestyrene coving I inherited with the house, and have replaced it with 90mm plaster coving (Knauf).

In my last house I had some of the fancy corners you place over the coving corners. They are plastic, and are stuck on with the same adhesive, and painted.

I could not find any for the knauf 90mm in wickes or B&Q etc, but can find some 100mm ones made by Artex. These do not fit correctly - They are not tight enough.

Anyone know if knauf make the fancy corners, or other makes that are 90mm?

My mitres are not 100%, and although I can fill and fix the corners, I would still prefer the stick over fancy corners....and so would the missus!

Any clues guys/gals?

As far as I know, Knauf don't make these for the 90mm cove. Try a good decorators merchants (not the sheds), should get something there.

Cheers JD.

I have decided to simply fill the corners.

I emailed Knauf who responded the same day saying they used to produce them until the end of last year!
