Coving & Cornice Clapham

Coving and cornice are terms for the decorative moulding that creates the transition between the wall and the ceiling. Coving and cornice went out of style some years back with the advent of modern architecture. But in recent years, they have been making a comeback due to their immense aesthetic value. Keaneys have been repairing, replacing and creating coving & cornice in Clapham since 1987. No one is more qualified than the members of our team to see your coving or cornice project through to a breathtaking conclusion.

The Difference Between Coving & Cornice in Clapham

Coving and cornice are both ways to create an agreeable transition between wall and ceiling, but that is where the similarities end. 

Coving explained

Coving is the simpler or more minimalist of the two. The word coving is derived from the word "cave" because the central aesthetic of coving is more often than not a smooth, continuous hollow or concave section that runs the entire length of the coving work. Coving is found in modern and postmodern homes as well as period homes.

Cornice explained

Cornice work is definitely the more elaborate of the two. It is used when the designer wishes to imbue a space with a sense of luxury and elegance. Cornice work is indulgent and often whimsical, and can be shaped to satisfy anyone's particular tastes and preferences. Like coving, cornice work also serves an important practical function in that it can be used to hide defects on the wall or ceiling.

The Importance of Coving & Cornice

Coving & cornice in Clapham homes and businesses produce a variety of important benefits, such as: 

• Aesthetic enhancement: Coving and cornice becomes the lynchpin of an interior decor, bringing together the other elements in a subtle and sophisticated way, while tipping its hat to history.
  
• Enhanced visual interest: There are few, if any, better ways to enhance the visual interest in a space than installing, repairing or replacing coving or cornice.
  
• Another practical benefit: Yes, coving and cornice can be used to mask defects in the wall or ceiling, but they also provide a discreet way to run wires and cables through a space.
  
• Increased home value: High-quality coving and cornice from Keaneys will have a noticeable, positive impact on the value of your home.
