FAQ

What is the difference between a cove former and a capping strip?

The cove former creates the curved floor-to-wall junction; the capping strip caps the top edge of the upstand. Both finish the same detail - see our PVC capping strips.

Can cove formers and capping strips be ordered together?

Yes. Quote them as one detail: give us the cove former reference (for example E15 or E38) and we confirm the matching cap with the quotation.

What HS code applies to PVC cove formers?

Classification for cove formers depends on the destination country and is stated on the commercial invoice and packing list of each shipment. Tell us the destination and we confirm the code we apply before you book freight.

How is a cove former fixed to the wall?

Surface preparation, cut to length, adhesive application, then fixing and finishing - the four steps set out in the installation guide above.
