Coving & Cornice

The VLS Series is LED cornice coving with the broadest choice in our range: fifteen profile designs and pack sizes that run from a single 2 m length all the way to 50 metres for whole-floor projects. It is made in the UK by Decovision from XPS (extruded polystyrene) — a smooth, rigid, closed-cell foam that looks like plaster once painted but weighs around a tenth as much, so one person can fit it with adhesive alone.

Fifteen profiles, one hidden light line

From understated to ornate, VLS01 through VLS15 all share the same practical heart: a concealed channel that carries an LED strip behind the cornice line. Switched on, the ceiling glows with even, indirect light and the source stays invisible. LED strip is not included — pick the brightness and colour temperature that suit the room.

Why XPS beats plaster and bead foam

Plaster cornice is heavy, brittle and a two-person job; cheap bead-style polystyrene shows its bobbled texture through every coat of paint. XPS (extruded polystyrene) sits in neither camp: a fine, dense surface that paints cleanly, flexibility that absorbs building movement without cracking, and moisture resistance from its closed-cell structure that keeps it stable in kitchens and bathrooms.

Sizes and ordering

• Fifteen designs: VLS01 to VLS15
• 2 m lengths, with packs at 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20, 30, 40 and 50 metres
• Ready-made internal and external corner pieces (20 cm)
• Approx. 20 cm sample for checking the profile and testing paint — not for installation

Installation

Use solvent-free adhesive only and finish with water-based paint only — solvent-based products attack polystyrene. No screws, no drilling, no specialist tools beyond a fine-tooth saw. An average room takes two to four hours; the extended packs make hallways, landings and open-plan floors just as straightforward.

Room suggestions

Living rooms and bedrooms for the classic uplit cornice look; kitchens and bathrooms thanks to the moisture-resistant closed-cell material; hallways and landings where the long pack sizes come into their own.

Why Decovision

The widest LED cornice choice in the shop, genuine XPS (extruded polystyrene) quality, UK manufacturing, factory-made corners and packs sized for real projects. Order a VLS sample first — matching the profile to your ceiling costs pennies compared with getting it wrong.

The DV-LO Series is a slim lighting coving — a compact 100 x 50 mm profile whose whole job is to carry LED strip light around a room, cleanly and invisibly. Cut from XPS (extruded polystyrene), the dense closed-cell foam that paints smoothly and weighs next to nothing, and manufactured in the UK by Decovision.

A dedicated home for LED strip

Where a traditional cornice is decoration first and lighting second, the DV-LO reverses the priority: a discreet border that tucks an LED strip out of sight and turns it into a continuous line of indirect ceiling light. Choose from ten profile designs (DV-LO11 to DV-LO20), all sharing the same compact 100 x 50 mm footprint. LED strip is not included, so the colour temperature is your call.

Featherweight by design

A profile this small in XPS (extruded polystyrene) is genuinely featherweight — you can fit an entire room without a ladder partner, adhesive alone holding every length. There is no measurable load on the ceiling, which makes the DV-LO a safe upgrade even for fragile lath-and-plaster ceilings in period homes, and it will not crack as the structure moves.

Sizes and ordering

• Ten designs: DV-LO11 through DV-LO20, all 100 x 50 mm
• 2 m lengths; packs from a single length up to 30 m (16 lengths)
• Ready-made internal and external corners (20 cm)
• Approx. 20 cm sample for profile and paint testing — not for installation

Fitting

Bond with solvent-free adhesive only and decorate with water-based paint only; solvent products damage polystyrene. No drilling or screws. Because the profile is small and straight, most rooms are finished well inside an afternoon.

Where slim lighting coving shines

Bedrooms and snugs where you want glow without glare, media rooms and home cinemas, hallways, and above kitchen units. The closed-cell structure of XPS (extruded polystyrene) handles humid rooms without complaint.

Why Decovision

A purpose-made LED profile rather than an adapted cornice, ten designs in genuine XPS (extruded polystyrene), UK manufacture, factory corners and a cheap sample. Start with the sample, check the scale against your ceiling, then light the whole room.

LED Coving for Ceilings by Decovision, HM Series

LED cornice covingthat upgrades any room with warm, indirect lighting. Made from XPS (extruded polystyrene)— a dense, smooth, closed-cell foam that is far finer-finished than the bead-style polystyrene you may know, yet so light you can hold a full 2-metre length overhead with one hand.

Ultra Lightweight by Design

Each length weighs a fraction of traditional plaster coving. That means one person can fit an entire room without help, ladders stay safe, and there is virtually no load on ageing ceilings — ideal for older UK homes where heavy plaster mouldings crack as the building moves. XPS (extruded polystyrene) flexes with natural micro-movement instead of cracking.

Built-In LED Channel

The rear channel is shaped to hold standard LED strip lights (not included), casting a smooth, indirect glow across your ceiling. Perfect for living rooms, bedrooms, kitchens and media walls — a designer lighting effect without an electrician rewiring your ceiling.

Sizes & Pack Options

HM Series profiles: HM-01 (85x125mm), HM-02 (85x125mm), HM-03 (100x55mm), HM-04 (90x50mm), HM-05 (115x50mm), HM-06 (95x50mm), HM-07 (90x70mm), HM-08 (90x70mm).

Each full length measures 2 metres. Packs from 2m up to 30m, plus ready-made internal and external corner pieces so you never need to cut a tricky mitre joint.

Sample pieces are approx. 20cm long and are intended for checking the profile, material and paint finish only — they are not suitable for installation.

Simple DIY Installation

No nails, screws, drills or specialist tools. Fix with a solvent-free adhesive only(solvent-based adhesives damage polystyrene) and paint with water-based emulsion only— the smooth XPS (extruded polystyrene) surface takes paint beautifully with no bead texture showing through. An average room takes one person around 2–4 hours.

Where It Works

Living rooms, bedrooms, kitchens, hallways and home offices. The closed-cell structure of XPS (extruded polystyrene) resists moisture, so it stays stable in kitchens and bathrooms where plaster deteriorates.

Why Decovision

UK-based coving specialist. Premium XPS (extruded polystyrene) profiles — not bead-style EPS foam — with crisp detailing, matching corner pieces, and sample pieces available for every profile so you can see and feel the quality before you order.

The FB Series is Decovision's statement LED coving: five bold profiles at 105 mm deep, designed for rooms that deserve more than a token trim. Every length is UK-made from XPS (extruded polystyrene) — a smooth, dense, closed-cell foam that finishes like plaster once painted, but weighs so little that fitting it is a one-person job.

Lighting built into the profile

Behind the upper edge of each FB profile runs a concealed LED channel. Slide a strip in and the ceiling picks up a wide, even wash of indirect light — dramatic in the evening, invisible during the day. The LED strip itself is not included, leaving the choice of warmth and brightness to you.

Serious size without the plaster problems

In plaster, a cornice this size means two installers, mechanical fixings and a nervous look at an older ceiling. In XPS (extruded polystyrene) it means one person, a tube of solvent-free adhesive and no load worth mentioning. The material flexes with the building rather than cracking, and its closed-cell structure resists moisture where plaster slowly fails.

Models and sizes

• Five designs: FB-34, FB-35, FB-36, FB-37, FB-38
• Two sizes each: A (105 x 190 mm) and B (105 x 290 mm)
• Sold in 2 m lengths; packs from 2 m to 30 m (16 lengths)
• Matching internal and external corner pieces, ready-made (20 cm)
• 20 cm sample for judging scale and testing paint — not for installation use

Installation

Adhesive must be solvent-free and paint must be water-based — both rules exist because solvents attack polystyrene. No screws or drilling. Cutting is quick with a fine-tooth saw, and ready-made corners remove the most error-prone mitres. Plan two to four hours for a typical room.

Rooms that suit the FB

Generous living rooms, dining rooms, master bedrooms and hallways with height to spare. Kitchens and bathrooms work too, thanks to the moisture resistance of XPS (extruded polystyrene).

Why Decovision

Large-format profiles in genuine XPS (extruded polystyrene), factory corners, UK manufacture and an affordable sample service. Order the FB sample, offer it up to your ceiling, and see how much difference 105 mm makes before committing to the full packs.

The SL Series is modern coving for ceilings reduced to clean, straight lines — three minimalist LED profiles in XPS (extruded polystyrene), made in the UK by Decovision. If cherubs and scrollwork are not your thing, this is the series to start with. XPS (extruded polystyrene) is a rigid closed-cell foam: smooth enough to paint like plaster, light enough to fit single-handed.

Sharp lines, soft light

Each SL profile hides an LED channel behind its top edge. The result is a crisp shadow-gap look by day and a floating band of indirect light by night — the detail you see in high-end hotel rooms, achievable in a weekend. LED strip not included, so you control brightness and colour temperature.

One-person installation, zero ceiling load

Because XPS (extruded polystyrene) weighs a fraction of plaster, an entire room's coving can be carried under one arm and fitted by one person with adhesive alone. Older properties benefit most: no stress on tired ceilings, and no cracking as the house breathes through the seasons.

Models and sizes

• Three designs: DV-SL01, DV-SL02, DV-SL03
• Sizes: A (70 x 140 mm), B (70 x 190 mm), C (70 x 290 mm)
• Packs from one 2 m length to 30 m (16 lengths)
• Ready-made internal and external corners (20 cm) — the hardest cuts already done
• Approx. 20 cm sample for testing profile, surface and paint; not for installation

Fitting

Solvent-free adhesive is essential, as solvent-based products dissolve polystyrene; paint must be water-based for the same reason. No drilling, no screws. A straightforward room takes an afternoon.

Where the SL look fits

Open-plan living spaces, new-build bedrooms, home offices and media rooms — anywhere a plain junction between wall and ceiling feels unfinished. Moisture resistance from the closed-cell structure makes kitchens and bathrooms safe choices as well.

Why Decovision

True XPS (extruded polystyrene) rather than bead foam, minimalist profiles you will not find in the sheds, UK manufacture, ready-made corners and a low-cost sample service. Try the sample first — it is the cheapest way to be certain.

The Z Series gives you the widest choice of designs in Decovision's LED coving range: eight profiles, each cut from XPS (extruded polystyrene) and each with a concealed channel for LED strip lighting. XPS (extruded polystyrene) is a dense, closed-cell foam with a glass-smooth face — nothing like the crumbly bead foam sold as budget coving — and it is light enough that a full 2 m length balances on one hand. Manufactured in the UK by Decovision.

Eight designs, one lighting trick

Z-41 through Z-48 range from quiet and linear to more sculpted profiles, so the series covers modern flats and period terraces alike. All eight share the same hidden LED channel: the strip tucks behind the top lip and throws light up across the ceiling, giving that soft architectural glow with no visible fittings. LED strip is not included — choose the tone you like.

The lightweight advantage

At 115 mm tall, these are substantial mouldings, yet in XPS (extruded polystyrene) they load the ceiling with almost nothing. One person fits them with adhesive alone — no props, no screws, no plasterer. The material also absorbs normal building movement, so the hairline cracks that plague plaster cornice simply do not appear.

Sizes and ordering

• Eight profile designs: Z-41, Z-42, Z-43, Z-44, Z-45, Z-46, Z-47, Z-48
• Two sizes per design: A (115 x 160 mm) and B (115 x 260 mm)
• Packs from a single 2 m length up to 30 m (16 lengths)
• Factory-made internal and external corner pieces (20 cm)
• 20 cm sample for profile and paint testing — not usable for installation

Installation

Bond with a solvent-free grab adhesive only; finish with water-based paint only — solvent chemistry attacks polystyrene. Cutting is easy with a fine-tooth saw. Expect two to four hours for an average room including corners and filling.

Room ideas

Use the deeper B size in living and dining rooms, and the A size in bedrooms, hallways and offices. Closed-cell XPS (extruded polystyrene) tolerates steam, so bathrooms and kitchens are fine too.

Why Decovision

Eight genuinely different designs, true XPS (extruded polystyrene) quality, ready-made corners, UK manufacture and a cheap sample to try first. Order the sample of the Z profile you like, hold it against your ceiling, then buy the room.

With a generous 90 mm drop, the GC Series is the deep-profile option in Decovision's LED coving range — cornice moulding with real presence for rooms that can carry it. Like all our coving it is cut from XPS (extruded polystyrene): a rigid, closed-cell foam with a smooth face that paints beautifully, at around a tenth of the weight of plaster. Made in the UK by Decovision.

Indirect lighting, hidden hardware

The GC profile conceals an LED channel along its upper edge. Run a strip inside it and the ceiling above glows with soft, even light while the strip itself stays completely hidden. It is the simplest route to the "floating ceiling" look — no plasterboard box-work, no electrician-built pelmet. LED strip not included, so you can match the colour temperature to the room.

Why weight matters

A deep plaster cornice of this size is a two-person lift and a genuine load on old lath ceilings. The GC in XPS (extruded polystyrene) is light enough to position one-handed, puts effectively no weight on the structure, and flexes with seasonal building movement instead of cracking along the joint line.

Sizes and packs

• Three profile widths: GC-A (90 x 155 mm), GC-B (90 x 190 mm), GC-C (90 x 290 mm)
• 2 m lengths, sold in packs from a single 2 m length to 30 m (16 lengths)
• Matching internal and external corners ready-made (20 cm)
• 20 cm sample available — ideal for testing profile scale, surface and paint before ordering a full room; samples are not for installation

Fitting notes

Use a solvent-free adhesive only and finish with water-based paint — solvent products damage polystyrene. No mechanical fixings are required. Most rooms are done in an afternoon: measure, cut with a fine saw, bond, fill the joints, paint.

Best rooms for a deep profile

High-ceilinged living rooms, dining rooms and master bedrooms take the GC naturally. Because XPS (extruded polystyrene) is closed-cell and moisture-resistant, it is equally at home above kitchen units or in a bathroom.

Why Decovision

Genuine XPS (extruded polystyrene) rather than soft bead foam, factory-made corners that save the hardest cuts, UK production, and an inexpensive sample so you can see the profile on your own ceiling line first. Start with a sample — the full packs will still be here tomorrow.

The GB Series is LED coving for ceilings that lets you add a crisp cornice line and soft indirect lighting in a single piece. It is made from XPS (extruded polystyrene) — a dense, smooth, closed-cell foam that is far finer-finished than the bead-style polystyrene most people picture, yet so light you can hold a full two-metre length overhead with one hand. Manufactured by Decovision in the UK.

Built-in LED channel

Each GB profile carries a concealed channel behind the top edge for an LED strip. The strip sits out of sight and washes the ceiling with an even glow — indirect lighting that makes a room feel taller and calmer than a bare pendant ever will. LED strip is not included, so you are free to choose the colour temperature and brightness you prefer.

Light enough for one person to fit

A typical GB length weighs a fraction of its plaster equivalent. That means no second pair of hands, no specialist fixings and effectively zero load on the ceiling — a real advantage in older UK homes where plaster and joists have seen a century of service. Unlike plaster, XPS (extruded polystyrene) will not crack as the building moves, and unlike bead foam it takes paint smoothly with no orange-peel texture.

Models and sizes

• Three profile designs: GB11, GB12 and GB13
• Three sizes per design: A (70 x 140 mm), B (70 x 190 mm) and C (70 x 290 mm)
• Supplied in 2 m lengths; packs from 2 m up to 30 m (16 lengths)
• Ready-made internal and external corner pieces — no tricky mitre cuts
• Sample piece (approx. 20 cm) for checking the profile, material and paint finish before you commit — not for installation

Installation

Fix with a solvent-free grab adhesive only — solvent-based products attack polystyrene. No screws or drilling are needed. Once fitted, finish with water-based paint (again, solvent-based paints must be avoided). An average room takes two to four hours from first length to finished corners.

Where it works

Living rooms and bedrooms are the classic homes for LED coving; the closed-cell structure of XPS (extruded polystyrene) also shrugs off moisture, so kitchens and bathrooms are no problem. Hallways and home offices benefit from the extra sense of height the uplight creates.

Why Decovision

Lightweight XPS (extruded polystyrene) quality rather than cheap bead foam, ready-made corners, UK manufacturing, and a low-cost sample service. Order a GB sample first, test it against your ceiling and your paint, then come back for the full room.
