3260 1/2" Cove Hemlock is a solid hemlock cove moulding, unfinished -- ready for your choice of paint, stain, or clear finish. Cove moulding creates a concave transition between two surfaces -- typically where a wall meets a ceiling, shelf, or cabinet face. The concave profile softens the junction with a simple, clean curve. Available at Windsor Plywood locations across Canada.

Common Uses
Installed at wall-ceiling junctions, shelf undersides, and cabinet transitions. Smaller profile than crown moulding for a subtler effect. Hemlock is the preferred softwood for stained moulding. Its pitch-free surface means no bleed-through under paint and no blotching under stain.
Pro Tips
- Cove moulding is the simpler, more understated alternative to crown. Use it where you want to finish the wall-ceiling junction without the visual weight of a full crown profile.
- For paint: apply directly -- no knot sealer needed. For stain: hemlock accepts stain evenly with a pre-stain conditioner. For clear finish: sand to 180-grit and apply water-based polyurethane or lacquer.
- Cope inside corners for the tightest fit. The concave profile copes cleanly with a coping saw.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between cove and crown moulding?
Cove is a simple concave curve. Crown is a more complex, often larger profile with multiple curves and flat sections. Cove is subtler and less formal; crown makes a stronger architectural statement.
Why choose hemlock over pine?
Hemlock is pitch-free -- no resin bleed under paint, no sticky sap. It also accepts stain more evenly than pine. Hemlock is the premium softwood choice when finish quality matters.
