It is best to use plastic skirting boards for linoleum or laminate. They look more advantageous with these coatings.
Plastic skirting board with cable duct
There is a special kind of PVC slats equipped with a cable duct. It is very convenient if you want to lay a TV or telephone cable behind the baseboard.
The wires are located in the middle of it and are hidden by a special strip.
Such slats have rubber edges, so that they fit snugly against the irregularities of floors and walls.
Plastic slats can be fixed in 2 ways: with dowels and screws or locks. In the first case, the baseboards are drilled through and fixed with dowels or self-tapping screws.
The 2nd method is a little more complicated, however, it is allowed to hide the mount. In addition, it is also possible to lay cables in the gap between the wall and the bar, which is obtained by using locks.
We install PVC skirting boards
First you need to find out the required number of baseboards. It is necessary to measure the perimeter of the room and subtract all openings from it.
PVC skirting boards have a length of 2.5 m. that is why you need to add two meters of stock to the perimeter and divide by 2.5. You need to round up the figure. The final number will be the number of required slats.
Then you need to count the number of connecting parts: joints, corners, plugs. Do not forget to add galvanized self-tapping screws and dowels with a hidden cap to the list.
Before work, it is necessary to clean the lower part of the walls from anything that may interfere. It is necessary to start with the marking, which is made from the corner of the 1st of the long walls.
We put a corner on one of the sides of the baseboard and attach it with a corner to the wall in the corner of the room.
From the corner at a distance of 5 cm, on the wall slightly above the bar or near it on the floor, we make a mark for the 1st hole. Pressing the bar in this place with your hand, use your other hand to determine the point for the 2nd hole.
With a perfectly flat wall, it should be located at a distance of 40 cm from the first one. if the wall has a deflection, then moving your hand along the bar and pressing it against the wall at the same time, you notice the beginning of the deflection.
We bring the hand back 5 cm and make a mark for the 2nd hole. This is how we determine the places for other holes and mark them.
After marking, we remove the bar and start drilling holes.
We put the hammer drill on drilling with an impact mechanism. During operation, we put it flat on the floor and drill holes, observing the required depth, which depends on the length of the dowels.
Then it is advisable to remove all the dust that has formed. It is better to do this with a vacuum cleaner. Then we hammer dowels into the finished holes.
We begin to fix the floor skirting board from the corner hole. Understanding the purpose of a promo code for 1xbet s key for any new registrant.
