What is a Cove Base for Epoxy Floors?
Cove base for epoxy floors, also called coving, is the process of installing curved or rigid barriers along the edges of flooring where the floor meets the wall. Epoxy cove bases are typically rounded 45-degree angles that slope upward. They prevent dangerous bacteria, pathogens, dirt, grime, and other contaminants from building up along the edges of the floor, in corners, or in gaps between the floor and wall. They also protect the walls from water or liquid permeation.
When Are Epoxy Floor Cove Bases Required?
Epoxy floor cove bases are required in industries with heavily regulated health and hygiene procedures. This includes the medical, pharmaceutical, and food and beverage processing industries, as well as in commercial kitchens and industrial wet environments. Epoxy cove base installation is cost-effective and offers significant protection against health and safety issues. They make it easier to clean and sanitize so that the flooring is protected from the growth and spread of pathogens.

Our Epoxy Cove Base Installation Process
Before we begin the epoxy cove base installation process, we will do an onsite evaluation of your flooring. We will assess its size, age, and condition. We may recommend that you complete flooring repairs and fix cracks, gouges, and chips. We will also recommend power washing the floor. The entire installation process can be completed in a two-day process, but the floor can’t be used for at least 24 hours after the process is completed to allow it to dry completely. In general, our epoxy cove base installation process is:
- Prepare the flooring surface and remove all paint, sealers, oil, grease, or other contaminants.
- Creating the line for the height of the epoxy cove wall base with chalk or tape.
- Priming the floor’s surface with one or two coats of primer.
- Mixing the cove material.
- Troweling up the cove onto the wall up to the line.
- Removing the tape and letting the coving material harden overnight.
- Inspect the coving and sand out any imperfections.
- Apply one or two coats of sealant.
