Cleanroom Flooring Systems
Hygienic PVC Cove Skirting
A flexible PVC cove former and skirting system that turns resilient sheet flooring smoothly up the wall and closes the upper edge with a hygienic cap.
- Continuous Vinyl Turn-Up
- 20–38 mm Cove Radius
- Hot-Welded Seams
- 70–150 mm Wall Height
Product Introduction
Hygienic PVC cove skirting uses a curved former at the wall base to support sheet vinyl as it rises from the floor. The flooring remains the visible surface through the bend, maintaining consistent colour and cleaning behaviour instead of adding a separate hard baseboard. Vertical and corner seams are grooved and hot welded, while a PVC capping or transition strip secures the top edge. Flexible profiles accommodate common cove radii and can be cut around internal or external corners without leaving a sharp floor junction.
Key Features
Hot-welded sheet seams produce a closed connection at corners and along material joins.
A top capping strip protects the cut edge and creates a defined transition to the wall finish.
PVC components can be coordinated with homogeneous, heterogeneous and wet-area vinyl floor systems.
Customer Product Concerns
A resilient floor must turn up the wall without cracking, trapping residue under a hollow bend or leaving an exposed cut edge.
Unsupported vinyl collapses into a crease where the floor meets the wall.A sized PVC former supports the covering through a consistent 20–38 mm radius.
Open mitres at internal corners allow wash water and residue behind the skirting.Corner pieces are shaped and the vinyl seams are hot welded after adhesion.
The cut top of a self-coved sheet lifts during repeated wiping.A matching cap or transition profile secures and seals the wall termination.
A separate decorative baseboard interrupts the floor colour and adds a lower seam.The installed floor covering continues over the former to create the visible skirting face.
