Because the builders who ripped them out were numbskulls,take my CH heating installers for instance...they were going to chase out the fancy victorian coving in one corner by the gas cupboard not to mention the hall coving as well, there would have been murder if they had done that and its a good job I asked where the pipes were going to be positioned before the work started..
A room looks bare and depressing without some sort of decorative features
It seems to me that none of the people who are making the negative comments, have a daughter who has just moved into her first house, and is struggling to make ends meet. The polystyrene stuff, whilst not being the one of choice for most of us more discerning types, is cheap, easy to fix - especially in a bathroom with tiles right up to the ceiling - and suited her just fine. The hot wire cutter that I made did a near-perfect job of cutting it, such that filling, other than by the paint which went on it afterwards, was not required.
30 or higher amperage Fuse wire? attached to an non conductive U shaped former and a 12v battery possibly an alarm typed seald unit? Attach both ends of the fuse wire to battery.
When I last used it you could do a room for £20-30 with the paper-wrapped poly stuff. Very cheap & tidy way of sorting out problems with the wall-ceiling join line.
