Flexible plinth for the floor: how to style it?
In the plinth of plastic there are blanks for fixing to the floor. In the floor it is necessary to drill holes for dowels with screws in the right points. The "steeper" the radius of curvature of the wall, the more often the step of fixing hardware. The plastic is lowered into hot water (about 70 degrees for 15-20 minutes), then the fragment is pressed and snapped.
The liquid skirting board is in vacuum packing, when it is removed it quickly loses its plasticity. The maximum "streamlining" is difficult to achieve and not always possible. It is worth noting the high cost of this decoration.
Mounting is carried out by glue solutions. The mixture is applied to the back of the bar. The product is applied to the floor and wall, pressed. Do not take your hands off him for several minutes. Clean rag cleaned out the adhesive. A small clue - to not smudge the front of the panel, cover it with food film.
Cork panels initially lacquer and tint if necessary. Staining is carried out with a sponge made of foam rubber. When the blanks have dried, they are adjusted to fit and join. The foundation is "planted" on a special glue. "Liquid nails" are not suitable in this case, they are used only for flat surfaces.
The skirting board should be fastened to the finish of the walls and floor. If the installation of floor slats is performed qualitatively, the bar will look like a single solid line. To finish the finish, furniture accessories may be needed in the form of external and internal corners, end caps, special couplings.
