- TheSpiceIsLife 2y agoSlight correction: Around windows its architraves and reveals. But I’m in Tasmania, some geographic variation in dialect can be expected. Except, I’m from South Australia, so some people around here think I talk posh.
- ChoGGi 2y agoFor me the reveal is the amount of space between the window casing/trim and the frame of the window.
- TheSpiceIsLife 2y agoI tend to agree.
- secondcoming 2y agoCornice is used in the UK too, I've never heard of coving.
- ChoGGi 2y agoSame, I've heard it rarely used. Never heard coving before.
- walthamstow 2y agoInteresting, maybe it's a regional thing - I'm from London. The category on the B&Q site is called "cornice & coving" so either they mean the same thing or there's a subtle difference in which one is which. Maybe one is plaster and one is wood?
