Why Cove Base Matters More Than You Think

Without a proper floor-to-wall transition, facilities face cleanliness challenges, maintenance issues, and early wear—especially in areas exposed to moisture, chemicals, or heavy use. Skipping cove base can lead to preventable problems over time.

Bacteria and Dirt Build-Up: Gaps between floors and walls trap grime and contaminants, making proper sanitation difficult.
Water Damage and Wall Deterioration: Moisture from cleaning or spills can seep behind edges, leading to mold, rot, or damaged drywall.
Edge Chipping and Floor Failure: Unprotected transitions are more likely to crack, chip, or fail under traffic and cleaning equipment.

Cove Base Projects

Hear from past clients

"Used CustomCrete for a urethane cement flooring application (Carbocrete HF) in a harsh manufacturing setting where all prior epoxy/concrete flooring either popped off due to heat/moisture or was eaten through by our corrosive product.

The team was easy to work with and very responsive to changes in scope as well as working around other vendors during a plant turnaround."

-Jack Barkow

"We had a floor that had been painted several times and looked very abused. It was becoming difficult to keep clean and looking nice. Tom came in, pulled up all the paint, and brought the floor back to its original state. It now shines and is easy to maintain."

-James Petryka

"CustomCrete and their crew did a fantastic installation on my floor project. Any questions or concerns that I had were addressed by Tom himself. Very happy with the service they had provided to me."
