Why Cap and Cove Flooring Is the Ideal Choice for Your Property

The flooring you choose for your property, whether your home, your business, an educational or healthcare facility, is often an element that is overlooked. However, the floor of your space not only provides enhanced aesthetics but also ultimately contributes to its overall functionality and safety.

Cap and cove flooring is commonly used across a wide range of settings, though many people may not recognise it by name despite its widespread presence. This poses the question, though, what is cap and cove flooring? And why should I choose this for my next home improvement project? Read on to find out more in our bespoke guide by RB Flooring Solutions.

What is Cap and Cove Flooring?

Put simply, cap and cove flooring is defined by its specialised installation process, whereby the material is spread further up the wall rather than finishing at the base of the wall like most floors. This creates a seamless, curved look, eliminating the sharp 90-degree angle. 

So, what is cap and cove flooring made from? Essentially, cap and cove flooring is made from sheet materials, most commonly vinyl, but it can sometimes be made from other materials like rubber or resin. This explains why cap and cove flooring can also be named cap and cove vinyl flooring, a material much more widely recognised.

The Benefits of Cap and Cove Flooring

Cap and cove flooring is renowned for its seamless and hygienic flooring solution. Cap and cove vinyl flooring eliminates the possibility of hard-to-reach areas where bacteria can accumulate, enhancing cleanliness, increasing durability, and improving safety by reducing the likelihood of slips or trip hazards. 

As well as this, cap and cove flooring allows for a more simplified and effective cleaning process, therefore contributing to its unique selling point of unmatched hygiene control. 

Not only is cap and cove flooring an extremely functional and practical choice, but it also provides a neat, professional, visually appealing finish through its seamless link between the floor and wall. On top of this, cap and cove vinyl flooring comes in a wide variety of customisable options, giving you complete control over the colour, style, and texture of your floor design.
