Installing a skirting board is an important stage of interior finishing, which can significantly improve the aesthetics of the room while protecting the lower parts of the walls. In the article we present a simple guide on how to install PVC/SPC skirting boards yourself.
Before you start working, make sure you have the following tools and materials on hand:
The first step is to carefully measure the wall to which you will install the strip. Use a measuring tape to get a precise measurement. Then cut the strip to the appropriate length using a saw with a thin blade, which will ensure a smooth and aesthetic cut.
After preparing the strip, apply glue to its back side. You can use strong double-sided tape or sealing compound. If you choose tape, make sure it is strong enough to hold the molding in place. If you decide to use sealing compound, spread it evenly using a squeezer.
Start at one end of the wall, pressing the strip against the surface. Use a level to make sure the molding is perfectly level. Continue this process along the entire wall, making sure the strip fits evenly along its entire length.
and) External corners
For external corners, place the strip against the wall and mark where to cut at an angle. Set the miter saw to 45 degrees and cut the strips to fit the ends exactly. If the joint is too tight, lightly sand the edges.
b) Internal corners
For inside corners, first cut one strip to length with a straight cut. Then, using a miter saw, make a diagonal cut at an angle of 45 degrees to fit the moldings. Sand the edges and fit the strips into the corner.
Finally, fill any gaps between the molding and the wall with sealant. Apply it in an even layer using a squeezer, and then smooth it out for an aesthetic final effect.
Installing a skirting board is not a difficult task, but it requires precision and care. With the right tools and following the steps, you will achieve a perfect result that will complement your interior design.
