Tuff Floors - Epoxy Mortar Coving

---

Coving, an epoxy mortar application, is strategically installed at the junction of walls and floors to form a seamless radius integrated into the applied floor system. This serves as an effective measure to prevent the harboring of bacteria in the wall and floor junction. Once in place, the coving is further safeguarded by a coating of epoxy or polyurethane.

The application of coving is applicable in various sectors, including food and beverage production, pharmaceuticals, commercial kitchens, cool rooms and freezers, and wet areas. Determining the appropriate type of coving involves ensuring its height complies with Australian Standards and local council requirements. 

In instances where coving is applied to cool room panels with aluminum arrowhead features, the aluminum arrowhead is crucial due to the differential movement between the cool room panel and the concrete substrate.  

This arrowhead is securely affixed to the cool room panel at the required height before laying the intended floor system. Following this meticulous process ensures that the epoxy mortar does not adhere to the panel, allowing independent movement and preventing any cracking of the epoxy.
