Chocolate Posted October 16, 2006 Share Posted October 16, 2006 Does anyone know what ceiling coving is called in France please? Also where we could get it. Can only find the polystyrene stuff. We want the paper covered plaster (Gyprock we think) type. Would they sell the special glue too? The visible gap between the walls and the ceiling will take a long time to fill down our corridor otherwise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert62 Posted October 16, 2006 Share Posted October 16, 2006 They are called moulures (singular: la moulure) or corniches (singular: la corniche). I used the polystyrene ones from Leroy Merlin, far cheaper than the real stuff and since they weigh next to nothing far easier to apply. If done carefully and once painted you really won't be able to tell the difference. Leroy Merlin also sells a cheap mitre box specifically designed for cutting moulures. I found it very handy. I did try the special glue they sell for polystyrene but found standard constructing kit easier to use. Be very careful transporting moulures, they are easily damaged.
