At the final stage of repair , the question always arises of harmoniously combining the surface of the wall and the ceiling. After all, if you leave this joint without decorative design, the repair will have an unfinished appearance. It is for these purposes and used ceiling skirting.
The ceiling plinth (baguette, fillet) is made of various materials. But the most popular products are polyurethane products. This is due to the undeniable advantages of polyurethane over other materials:
- polyurethane is more durable than wood or gypsum;
- it does not absorb moisture and does not change properties under the influence of temperature changes;
- surface of polyurethane is easy to clean;
- polyurethane is easy to install;
- white polyurethane ceiling skirting can be painted in any colors;

- it does not crumble;
- for gluing polyurethane skirting boards can be used, both glue on any basis, and a mix of putty.
In addition, the flexible ceiling polyurethane skirting can be glued to the ceiling of any complex shape, without the fear that it will break.
Polyurethane skirting boards on the ceiling
Plinths made of polyurethane are available as smooth, and with a variety of drawings. Outwardly they are no different from stucco molding , but at the same time they have better functional characteristics. Therefore, you can choose a skirting board for an interior designed in any direction: from a laconic loft to an exquisite empire. At the same time, images on skirting boards made of polyurethane are very clear and embossed.
For decorative decoration of the joints of walls and ceiling, adjoining at different angles, polyurethane skirting boards are made at an angle of 30,45 and 60 degrees. In addition, for the convenience of mounting skirting in the corners of the room there are special angular segments. Externally, their picture is fully consistent with the images available on the ceiling skirting.
Installation of polyurethane ceiling skirting boards
Polyurethane skirting boards can be mounted on any glue. But it must quickly dry up, because it is not a pleasant experience to stand with your hands raised to the ceiling for a long time. The most common materials for installing polyurethane skirting boards include liquid nails, Moment glue and any silicone sealants.
The most difficult when installing ceiling skirting boards is the correct cutoff for their docking in the corner. But this problem is solved with the help of corner segments or special carpenter's wort. Here one should remember one simple rule that when cutting skirting boards for an external corner, their upper parts are always longer than the bottom ones. And for the inner corner, on the contrary - the upper parts are shorter than the lower ones. Before proceeding to gluing the plinth, the surface of the wall and ceiling must be cleaned of dust and primed. After that you can proceed with installation. Glue on the surface of the plinth is applied either by drops or by wavy lines, and then tightly pressed against the joint of the wall and ceiling. Begin to glue the plinth always follows from the corner of the room.
In addition, the ceiling polyurethane skirting can be used as a basis for lighting. There are no additional difficulties when installing it. But in this case, the skirting board is glued at a distance of 10-20 cm from the ceiling surface, and in order to do it smoothly, it is necessary to use a level. Also skirting boards for lighting should not be chosen very deep, so that they do not cover the light. And after the plinth is glued, you can start installing fluorescent lamps or LED strips. With this design of the contour lighting of the room, the effect is no worse than when building a three-level ceiling, but much cheaper.
