The plinth can be made from a wide variety of material composition. To date, the most popular are plastic variations. There are also steel, ceramic and stone floor. The plastic construction is able to create the effect of straight walls in the presence of the corresponding defects, low cost and a variety of color schemes also play on the plastic arm.
PVC material will look great with different floors in versions: wood, covered with laminate or linoleum. Benefits include: ease of installation, an increased stability of the moisture content in the premises, the availability of special cavities for wiring.
Preparation for major works
The first step, before installing it is necessary to calculate the amount of material that goes to the execution of works. Classical plinth length equals 250 cm. Using this value, it is possible to calculate the number of individual bands which will be required to purchase. The calculation should lay from 10 to 15% the length of the stock - for unforeseen expenses.
The Internet is easy enough to find a special online calculator to help you calculate the required length. Just this can be done by yourself: add up the length and width of the room, multiply the result by two. The number, which is obtained by counting, divide by 250 or 2.5 (It depends on the units of measurement you performed the previous calculations).
Now it is necessary to choose the color of the future plinth to simplify your task, you can take a small piece of wallpaper and floor coverings. When buying a plinth should buy and accessories, with the help of which will be docked some parts of the structure. Try to pick up as much as possible close to the color, to avoid undue contrast. Just need a set of plugs in their selection should take into account the fact that they differ in their orientation in space (at first glance it is easy to miss).
Installing plastic moldings - step by step guide
Step 1. The first step is to cut the whole fabric into pieces of desired length. It should take into account the location of the seam - it is desirable that it is not conspicuous. Experts recommend starting with stacking corners or door frame. Now it is necessary to connect the two sections of the plinth in the corner so that they were in the depths of his on 5-7 mm.
Note that the sawing plastic skirting implement much easier than similar action with its wooden or metal counterparts. For a satisfactory result should use a hacksaw.
Step 2. Now we need to build attachment to the floor. To this end, it should be firmly pressed against the wall and make holes using a drill. No special nozzles in the drill will not have to apply to be quite conventional perforating tip. To increase the drilling accuracy, you can use a conductor.
When smooth the walls in the apartment space between holes for fasteners should be around 50 cm. If the walls have significant flaws, the distance should be reduced by 10-15 cm. To minimize contamination during drilling, use a vacuum cleaner.
Step 3. If the walls in the room are made of plasterboard, the installation procedure is slightly different. There is a possibility that when drilling you will find yourself in a profile that captures the drywall, in this case, you should use self-tapping screws. In the reverse situation, you can use the classic plugs.
Installation is fairly simple dowels. The main thing is to corral carried out with little effort - it is an indication that the attachment zasyadet tightly in a cloth. Next, set the element to be fixed, is made screwing the screw in place dowels localization. The final touch is a masking mounting nozzle.
As seen from above in the installation plinth is no big deal. It is only necessary to get a tool and become familiar with the theoretical basics of the case.
