COVE KIT SPECIFICATIONS

Cove ceilings are a simple design detail when compared to our more complex vaults and ceilings, but the power is in its simplicity. A humble rounding effect from the wall to ceiling can have an amazing impact on the space.

Medium Density Fiberboard (MDF)
(High Grade Moisture Resistant)

Thickness (in.) The thickness of the cove pieces can range from ½” to 1” thick depending upon the radius.
Depth (in.) The depth of the cove pieces are normally 2 ½” deep.

Your cove ceiling will come with simple instructions making installation a breeze.

HOW TO MEASURE A COVE CEILING

  1. Measure your perimeter to the nearest 1/8”. 
  2. Choose your radius. 
  3. Count the number of your inside and outside 90° & 45° corners. 
  4. Enter the location (place) where the ceiling cove will be installed in your project (for example: M. Bdrm Tray, Dining, Study, #1 Cove Ceiling).

HOW TO INSTALL A COVE CEILING KIT

Every cove ceiling kit comes with tailored installation instructions to your specifications. It's as simple as measuring, marking, and snapping your radius lines along the walls and ceilings, installing each of the cove corners, and then spacing and t-nailing each of the cove pieces. We recommend using either a T-Nailer or a narrow crown stapler when installing. If you can color by number and operate a t-nailer, then you can install one of our cove ceilings.

HOW TO DRYWALL A COVE CEILING KIT

Drywalling a cove ceiling is comprised of measuring the curvature, cutting the drywall to the curvature, forming and fastening in place.

QUICK TIPS

  • Wetting the back of the drywall (as shown in the video) will make the drywall easier to bend.
  • For a tighter radius, consider using a double layer of either ¼” or ¼” flex drywall.

what our customers are saying

We’re a fan of the groin vault kits from Archways & Ceilings. We have been using them for a few years now and the quality and the ‘WOW’ factor their groin vault kits create are well worth the cost. Plus, their customer service is excellent!

Nick Fisher/ Owner

Dream Structures LLC, Springdale, AR

We were absolutely satisfied with our dome ceiling. The service and communication we got from Archways & Ceiling was top notch. We would highly recommend working with them and using their products.

I would highly recommend Archways & Ceilings for coved ceilings. Their kits takes what can be a hard task for a carpenter and makes it into a simple project. The savings over other products we have used like Styrofoam is significant with better durability.

David Hanson

Hanson Carlen, Spokane, WA

Archways & Ceilings does a great job on all of their products. Specifically, we have been using their barrel vaults exclusively since 2009 and the exact precision with which they are made cannot be replicated in the field by traditional stick framing methods. For a truly high-end finish and a shape nothing short of perfection, Archways & Ceilings materials are the way to go.

Les Owens

LRO Residential

Archways & Ceilings is a great company to have as a resource.  We know that when we take on projects that require a variety of arched ceilings, we can count on them to come through.  We recently completed a project that required an elliptical barrel vault that intersected with 6 half circle arches at different heights which they call “Igloos.”  This ceiling came out terrific and came out like the architect spec’d.
