What is a Coving?
A coving is a curved border at the junction between the floor and the wall in a room. We use it to create a seamless transition between the two surfaces and to cover any gaps or irregularities between them. At AmeriCote, we recommend using AmeriCove, made with a high-density polyurethane composite resin that is flexible but highly durable for commercial flooring. AmeriCove offers superior performance compared to other cove products. It will not rot, swell, or deteriorate over time and is ideal for indoor or outdoor use.
Hand-trowled coving is not only extremely time-consuming, but it can leave you with an inconsistent finished product. Using AmeriCove, you can be sure that your cove base is perfectly formed around the entire perimeter and installed in a fraction of the time.
4 Important Reasons for Commercial Flooring

Coving helps to protect the walls from damage caused by foot traffic and equipment, especially for epoxy floors, as it acts as a buffer between the two surfaces.

Coving helps to prevent the buildup of dirt and bacteria at the junction between the floor and the wall, as it forms a continuous surface that is easy to clean.
What Everybody Ought to Know About Industrial and Commercial Regulations Requiring Floor Coving?
Several industrial and commercial regulations may require floor coving in certain situations. For example:
