What is the "highlight"?
This skirting board is distinguished by its structural density and smooth surface. When making it, several layers of primer are applied on it, which reduces all work to a minimum - it remains only to paint. To decorate this decorative element, you can use all types of paint. Externally, such skirting boards have a variety of shapes, which allows you to choose the best option for interior decoration. By their strength, they are in no way inferior to other types of skirting.
Note! These decorative elements are absolutely identical with other types of plinth, except for the possibility of painting in any color.
Mounting can be carried out according to the same schemes as for the rest of the decorative elements. If the design is designed for this, you can use special clips. If not, then the fastening takes place with the help of glue and liquid nails or self-tapping screws. Having established all the elements, you can decide what color the skirting should be, and choose the necessary paint. It should be noted that he perfectly masks all cables and edges of the wallpaper.
Skirting board for painting or how to choose a color?
Having decided to apply this option in order to close all the transitions from floor to wall, you will come across an important question, how to choose the color of the plinth. Making this choice, you can focus on the color of the floor, doors or walls. Consider these options:
- Sex, in many ways, affects the overall atmosphere in the room, so when deciding how to choose a plinth in color, you need to reckon with it. In the modern market there are a lot of different colors and shades, so choosing the right one will not be difficult. Here you can do two things: paint the decorative elements in a color that is in harmony with the floor, or, conversely, make them contrast, thus highlighting the outlines of the room;
- The choice of the color of the door is often used in decoration, because the plinth in this case is a natural extension of the doors;
- Determining what color the skirting board to choose, you can proceed from the design of the wall covering. This method is considered the most reliable, because you can take a piece of wallpaper in the store and right on the spot to make a choice. If the walls have a pattern with bright colors, then for their finishing you can use skirting yellow or plinth blue, which will emphasize the perimeter of the room and the overall design.
Important! Bright colors are recommended to be used in bright rooms, as in dark they will not look harmonious.
Ways of painting
Having decided on the color of the plinth, it is necessary to paint it. For this purpose, paper or newspapers are spread on the floor, on which work will be performed. The paint for plinths can be acrylic, latex or water dispersion. Important! Use paint for outdoor work is prohibited, as it will roast the surface of the material.
Painting is done by brush. While working, you should try not to leave any divorces and strips. You can also use paint in cans. It lies very well, evenly covers the surface, and it's easy to work with it. Also, you can not do without it, if there are various decorative elements that the brush can not handle qualitatively.
If the same color is produced after the skirting has been installed, then first apply the adhesive tape with two stripes along the processed material and the wall. To glue it it is necessary closely, otherwise pollution can not be avoided. Remove the adhesive tape after completely drying the applied layer.
