Common Uses

Cove moulding is used to create a smooth, finished transition at inside corners between walls and ceilings, and between walls and floors in traditional wainscoting assemblies. It is also used as a decorative edge on built-in shelving and as a component in multi-piece built-up cornice assemblies.

Pro Tips

• Cut cove moulding at 45 degrees using a compound mitre saw for inside and outside corner joints -- the concave profile requires careful angle setup.
• Nail cove moulding with a finish nailer or brad nailer -- hand nailing risks splitting the thin profile.
• Caulk all joints and nail holes before painting -- the concave profile makes unfilled gaps very visible after painting.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between cove and crown moulding?
Cove moulding has a simple concave quarter-circle profile and sits at a 45-degree angle in the corner. Crown moulding is a more complex multi-profile moulding that springs from the wall at a specific spring angle and creates a larger, more decorative transition.

Can cove moulding be painted the same colour as the ceiling?
Yes. Painting the cove the ceiling colour effectively extends the ceiling visually. Painting it the wall colour or an accent colour makes it a more pronounced design element.
