Cove Skirting Installation
Seamless coved skirting that eliminates the floor-to-wall junction — the critical finishing detail for hygienic commercial flooring in healthcare, aged care, and food service environments.
The Hygienic Floor-to-Wall Finish for Commercial Environments
Cove skirting — also known as coved base or flash cove — is a method of finishing the floor-to-wall junction by curving the flooring material up the wall to a specified height, eliminating the right-angle junction where dirt, bacteria, and moisture can accumulate. It is the standard finishing detail in healthcare, aged care, food service, and any environment where hygiene and infection control are critical.
Mac Flooring Australia installs vinyl cove skirting as an integral part of our flooring installations, using the same vinyl product as the floor to create a continuous, seamless surface. We also install pre-formed cove skirting in contrasting or matching colours where specified by the designer. All cove skirting is heat-welded to the floor surface to maintain the seamless, impervious finish.
Key Benefits
Eliminates Bacteria Harbouring Junctions
Removes the floor-to-wall right angle where dirt and bacteria accumulate — critical for infection control.
Seamless Hygienic Finish
Heat-welded to the floor surface to create a continuous, impervious surface.
Easy to Clean
Smooth curved surface is far easier to clean than traditional skirting boards with gaps and crevices.
Moisture Resistant
Prevents water ingress at the floor-wall junction during wet cleaning.
Design Continuity
Matching or contrasting cove skirting creates a professional, finished appearance.
Durable
Commercial-grade vinyl cove skirting withstands cleaning chemicals, trolley impacts, and general wear.
Where Cove Skirting Is Required
How We Deliver Your Project
Wall Preparation
Wall surface is cleaned and prepared to ensure proper adhesion of the cove skirting.
Former Installation
Cove former (the curved profile piece) is adhered to the floor-wall junction to create the curved transition.
Vinyl Application
Vinyl is cut, fitted, and adhered over the former, continuing up the wall to the specified height.
Heat Welding
All joins in the cove skirting are heat-welded to the floor vinyl to create a continuous, seamless surface.
