Before plastering the ceiling skirting, examine it and start working with the largest slots, i.e. the width of which is more than 0.3 cm, and for this:

• we clean the ceiling skirting from dust;
• prepare the plaster mortar, using plaster, based on gypsum;
• we take an ordinary spatula and cover the cracks. Remains of putty gently remove with a wet rag or spatula;
• let the starting filler dry, gently clean the surface of the ceiling skirting board with sandpaper;
• we cultivate the final dry putty so that it is convenient to apply with the help of a folded brush and finish the work;

Painting of baguettes - the procedure is not mandatory, so the question: "Is it necessary to paint a ceiling skirting board?" Solves each independently, but if we want nothing to find fault in the interior of the room, we better do itthis procedure. And in favor of making a positive decision, the following factors say:

• by painting a ceiling skirting board, it can be made so that it will be in full harmony with the overall design of the room;
• ceiling skirting, thanks to a well-chosen color scheme, will play the role of a contrast line dividing walls and ceiling or smooth the contrast between them;
• the painting of the ceiling skirting board will strengthen it, since the material from which it is made is soft and not very strong;
• with the help of paint, the texture and moldings on the baguette are well distinguished;
• because the baguette is made of expanded polystyrene, polystyrene and polyurethane, and these materials are porous, then without painting they will be simply dust collectors and very quickly lose their presentability. Painted ceiling skirting can be wiped;

How to paint a skirting board

Before you paint ceiling skirting boards, you need to decide on the choice of paint and stock up on the necessary tools.

Paint for ceiling skirting board

When deciding which paint to paint the ceiling skirting, pay attention to the following:

• ceiling skirtings of polyurethane and polystyrene are melted with paints, which contain aggressive components. Therefore, choose latex, acrylic, water-dispersion paints;
• paint color should be in harmony with the color of walls and ceiling. The required color, in case of using paints having a water basis, is obtained independently by applying a color.

Selection of the tool for painting the skirting board

We will work:

• with a brush. Selecting it, pay attention to the width - it should not be wider than the baguette itself, but the very narrow does not fit;
• in the process of painting will have to quickly wipe the spray, so you need a rag or a sponge at hand;
• to paint only the baguette, not the sections of walls and ceiling adjacent to it, buy a protective paint tape or tape;
• because the work will be performed at height, you need a stepladder.

Two color variants

Dye the ceiling skirting boards in two different ways:

• after the baguette is glued;
• before gluing.

The best option is when the ceiling skirting board is installed before the wallpaper is applied, then it is plastered and painted easily, and it is more convenient to paint according to the second option, but installation here will become more complicated. Painted fillets on the floor and then setting, the joints have to putty, and then paint again.

Rules that must be observed when painting

Having chosen the first method of painting the ceiling skirting, we adhere to the following rules:

• putty or glue must dry completely;
• if there is dust and dirt, remove;
• if the wallpaper is not glued yet, we start painting right away;
• in case the wallpaper is already on the wall, we protect them using a painting tape. You can protect the wall and a wide spatula by applying it close to the baguette and moving as you paint;
• working brush, apply the paint on the outer surface of the baguettes;
• joints should not be separated after application of the paint coat, and if they are still allocated, then the procedure must be repeated.

Take note: if there is decorative stucco molding on the skirting surface, then paint it by brushing it, simulating a blotting, otherwise there will be an excess of paint that will drain the .

Water-based paint, trade mark TRIORA( Triora), falls well on the surface of the ceiling skirting. Its advantages include:

• water resistance - surface painted with this paint can be washed;
• vapor permeability;
• absence of unpleasant odor;
• has a pronounced luster;
• wide color palette.

Used for painting ceiling polyurethane skirting boards with stucco molding and such a tinting material as glaze, referring to gloss paints. With its help, the usual baguette can be aged, give it the effect of metal, stone, wood and even gold. It goes without saying that a wide ceiling skirting is suitable for painting with a glaze.

We use

glazes. In order to apply a glaze on the ceiling plinth with stucco molding, it will be necessary: ​​

• balloon with glaze or atomizer;
• brush;
• sponge or cloth.

The order of its application is as follows:

• spray glazes on the surface;
• we take a brush, a sponge or a rag and rub it to obtain a toned effect.

Patin ceiling skirting board

To make a simple ceiling baguette look like an antique thing, it needs to be patinated with a glaze. It is not difficult to do this:

• buy gleyzes that have the colors Taira and UMBER;
• apply a Tayre color glaze evenly onto the top and bottom of the ceiling skirting, leaving the middle not painted;
• it is now necessary to perform a shading at the place of joining of the painted area with the unpainted. At the same time we remove the outer layer of paint. In this case, the convex relief becomes lighter and brighter, and the depressions will contrast with the color of the reliefs;
• to emphasize the relief we use the UMBER gleyz color.

Here is a clear example of creating an antique effect on a skirting board:

Creating the effect of a stone

If on our skirting board there is a large outstanding pattern, then it can be given the effect of a natural stone, slightly dirty surface:

• glaze TAIRE is applied with a thick and even layer on the surface of the plinth;
• shade the surface with a brush to create bright strokes;
• using glaser Umber, we cover the surface with dark spots;
• is shading;
• we apply small strokes of dark color, remove the excess;
• let the surface dry;
• on the reliefs we apply strokes using a bronze glaze;
• is left to dry.

In a room designed in the Baroque style, it would be appropriate to have a skirting board with gilding.

Gold plated skirting board

For work you will need:

• glazes of gold or silver color;
• brush is thin;
• rag.

Technology:

• brush is dipped into the glaze;
• we take a rag and remove the paint from the brush;
• put the brush on the protruding part of the pattern and slowly move it horizontally. In this case, the paint remains only on the protuberances.
