Cove molding is a type of trim molding used at the revelation point of the face of the riser below the underside of the tread. It improves the beauty of the staircase by offering a polished appearance to the structure.


Key Benefits:

  • Improved Appearance: Gives stairs an aesthetical appearance, thus making them look more stylish and complete.
  • Concealed Imperfections: Works well where there are membrane gaps and imperfections between risers and treads.
  • Versatility: Sold in styles and materials to suit a range of architectural designs and concerns.

Applications:

  • Often installed in home staircases to improve the appearance of the stairs and bring a more formal look.
  • Used in offices, hotels, and other public structures where stairs are incorporated in the design to make them more attractive.
  • Applied in educational institutions, libraries, and other public establishments as the final touch to staircases.
