The rounded profile removes the square corner where dirt builds up, and the smooth, non-porous surface is easy to clean. With a troweled cove, that curve usually puts flooring subcontractors on the schedule. On the job site, the CoRound™ system offers three things. No resin or cement to cure. No sealant line required along the wall. Pre-formed corners, no silicone-filled field cuts.

What Do Flooring Subcontractors Do on a Cove Base Job?
With an epoxy or resin cove base, a flooring crew usually trowels the curve by hand at the base of the wall. After that, the resin needs time to cure.
A resin cove is usually part of the floor job: the room is cleared and waits for the resin to cure. CoRound is a wall job: it installs on the finished floor, and the room can stay in use.
So, for the general contractor, the cove base can mean one more trade to fit into the schedule. For the curing side, see our guide to epoxy cove base curing time.
Who Installs a Rigid PVC Cove Base Without Flooring Subcontractors?
In fact, the panel crew can install the profiles: no separate flooring or welding crew to schedule. That is the idea behind the system: the cove base that goes in with the panels.
In practice, the crew that sets the panels can also close the junctions: at the floor, between walls and at the ceiling. Also, the curve comes from the factory, not from the installer’s hand: it is the same all the way around the room.
What Does the Crew Install Without Flooring Subcontractors?
On a panel job, for example, the sequence looks like this. First, set the base track and the panels.
Then fasten the CoR 4 Base supports and snap the CoR 4 onto them. After that, fasten the CoR Skirt to the base of the wall. Finally, press or snap the corner pieces, joints and end caps into place.
The CoR Skirt is screwed or riveted to the wall, or bonded with adhesive: installer’s choice. Between walls and at the ceiling, the CoR 4 cove base snaps onto the CoR 4 Base.
These instructions are general installation advice: the installer chooses the method that suits the job.
CoRound installs on insulated panels, FRP-covered walls, tile, masonry and drywall. So it also works for kitchen renovations with FRP or tile walls: see our commercial kitchen cove base guide.
Is There Any Welding or Silicone Work?
There is no welding on site: the pieces are fastened, snapped in or bonded.
Silicone is optional: not required for installation. For the CoR Skirt, however, in wet areas, installers can add a thin bead of neutral silicone to help keep water from getting behind the profile.
For the corners in detail, read our guide to cove base installation.
What Changes on the Schedule Without Flooring Subcontractors?
With CoRound, the cove base becomes part of the wall job. So there is one less trade to fit around the floor work.
What Does “No Sealant Line Required Along the Wall” Mean?
On ribbed panels, a metal base usually needs a bead of sealant along the wall: a second step, and exposed sealant can turn dark and attract dirt over time, leaving a dark line between a white wall and a white base. With CoRound, no sealant line is required along the wall.
Moreover, on standard cold storage panels with mesa or wide-rib profiles, the flexible lip follows the ribs. As a result, the flexible lip minimizes gaps along the wall, with no sealant line required.
