It should immediately be clarified that the ceiling skirting does not directly adhere to the tension ceiling - the fillet( this is the name of this kind of plinth) to the canvas itself is not glued, only to the wall. We will not go into details, for whatever reason, since we are interested in the method of attachment itself. The main thing to understand is that this is precisely the peculiarity of the installation of these products.
Skirting boards are installed at the final stage of the ceiling finish and serve to hide the gap formed between the surface and the elements of the suspended structure( usually it is the metal profile rails that are "fastened" to the walls around the perimeter of the room and hold the canvas).
The materials for fillet production are sufficient. That is why all ceiling skirting boards are divided into "light"( plastic, foam and its varieties) and "heavy"( plaster moldings, wood).We will not consider questions about how to choose a ceiling skirting board, what are the advantages and disadvantages of its varieties. We will dwell directly on the technology of carrying out works with reference to plinths of foam plastic, since most people prefer to purchase them.
What is the main problem? Fit the skirting boards to each other so that a thin, even seam is formed at the junction. Of course, you can try to cut the fillets at an angle "by eye", but the quality of the connection will be low - after fixing them on the wall between them, the slots, and quite large ones, can not be avoided. Yes, and the material consumption will be appropriate. Therefore, it is better to use one of the proposed methods.
Making "standards"
Whatever type of skirting board has been chosen, you need to buy 1 - 2 poles of fillets from polystyrene. For a purse it is not burdensome, since the cost of 1 m of the cheapest is somewhere within 100 rubles. Moreover, the width of the samples in this case does not play a role. Our task is to prepare 2 pairs of pieces of plinth, which will ideally fit together with their angular sections to each other when joining. Here on the purchased foam plastic products and should be trained. Why you need 2 pairs, it's clear. One - as a model for internal corners, the other - for external.
By definition, all of them in the room are equal to 900( although in practice this is not exactly true).Here it is necessary and to orient. It is not necessary to be a great connoisseur of geometry to understand that every piece of skirting should be cut off at an angle of 450, and then put them to each other in the place of installation.
It immediately becomes clear where and how much to cut. After the exact coincidence of the end parts, these blanks are quite suitable for the role of exemplary ones.
Naturally, in some places( and not only in the corners), after fixing the skirtings between them, there may be, though small, slits. This is due to the fact that absolutely flat walls do not exist. Therefore, focusing on the same model pair, an ideal fit will not work. But it's not scary. Joints are perfectly "masked" with a white sealant( or acrylic putty).Given that the skirting boards are located at a height, under the ceiling, it will be almost invisible.
Cutting with the
chair This device can be purchased at the same sales point( it costs "penny").It is a tablet, to the sides of which are nailed two more. In them - prepared slots, which places the blade of the hacksaw for metal. From the figure, the construction of the device itself, and the method of cutting fillets, are clear.
You can make a chair yourself, but does it make sense to spend this time considering the cost of the finished product? And if it is not on sale, then in principle, nothing terrible will happen. What does this device give? Minor time savings, which will have to be spent on "training" when working in the first way. After all, the wort also does not provide an ideal fit for the skirting boards, since with its acquisition the walls will not become even.
Use of finished corners
If plinths are purchased in a specialized store, then they certainly are on sale. In this case, the task will be simplified somewhat, since the plinth will have to be connected with them, therefore, cut at an angle of 900, which is much more convenient.
Fastening of "light" skirting boards
The description of the algorithm of actions will take a little space, as the technology - is simply nowhere.
Markup
If there is a gap at the top( between the sheet and the plinth), then it will be invisible. The main thing is that the lower edges of fillets lie on one horizontal line. There is no sense in explaining that the curve of the baseboard of the attractiveness of the room will not add. This is the horizontal line and should be outlined. Than and how - each pencil, stretched by fishing line or otherwise - each owner will decide himself.
Fixation
The adhesive is applied only to that part of the baseboard, which will be adjacent to the wall. This is also understandable. After that, the fillet is applied to the base and held for several minutes( before "grasping").The features of fastening are always indicated on the package with glue( or the instructions enclosed therein).in fact, the technology is not much different from gluing ceiling skirting.
Skirting boards "heavy"
The general principle of fastening is not so different, therefore we will note only nuances. The choice of methods depends largely on the weight of the skirting boards( their material, width).
The first version of
The fixing is made directly on the base. Therefore, the place, which fillets will cover, should be "bare", as it is not recommended to glue on wallpaper. To cut them on the line with a sharp knife will not be difficult. The peculiarity is that this area( strip) needs to be additionally primed in order to increase its adhesion. Plus to this - glue to put not only on the back party of a plinth, but also on the bared basis. This will ensure a high-quality "grasp" of materials.
The second variant
On the planned line, with a certain interval, wooden corners are installed, to which the fillets are attached.
Some tips
- If you leave a small gap between the top edge of the ceiling skirt and the canvas, then you can "hide" the LED tape. This is quite an original lighting solution for the room.
- Along with skirting boards it is advisable to immediately purchase the recommended adhesive for them. To focus on the fact that "I have some old stocks" is not worth it. Especially when it comes to fillet of foam. It is still unknown how they will "react" to this glue. After all, for this type of skirting it is necessary to use a means for gluing with the recommended chemical composition.
- Walls are different. Therefore, the method of fixing is chosen taking into account the material of which they are made. For example, if it is wood, then it makes no sense to install wooden corners( for not too massive plinths).
