We recommend Ready Mixed Adhesive to install this product.
You should always fix coving straight and level as you can fill any gaps in afterwards. When drawing your fitting line, make sure that it is perfectly horizontal, rather than rising and falling with any unevenness in the ceiling
If you are cutting your own mitre joints, it’s a good idea to practice cutting both an internal and an external join on an offcut of coving, to avoid mistakes later. Bear in mind that for an internal corner, the wall edge of the coving is longer than the ceiling edge. For an external corner, the ceiling edge is longer than the wall edge
Place the coving into the mitre box with the wall edge at the top of the box.
Use a fine-toothed panel saw to make 45-degree mitre cuts at each end
To fit the coving, start by holding the cut piece in position to check it is a good fit, then remove your piece of coving and apply adhesive.
Align the coving with the lines on the wall and ceiling, then work your way along, carefully pressing it into position.
Fill any remaining gaps between adjoining pieces of coving, or between the coving and the wall or ceiling, by squeezing in a little extra filler.
