Types of ceiling skirting boards
Various manufacturing technologies allow the production of ceiling skirtings with improved mechanical characteristics.
Plinth ceiling is made of foam or polyurethane. The most common length of material is 1.3 m; 1.5 m and 2 m, and the width is from 20 to 85 mm.
Polyurethane plinth has good consumer qualities. Polyurethane is a specially foamed plastic, which makes it possible to produce strong and lightweight structures. Polyurethane is environmentally safe for humans, perfectly tolerates temperature and humidity fluctuations, remaining in the unchanged undeformed form for a long time. Choosing a ceiling polyurethane skirting board can be seen that on the exterior surface of the molding there are no scratches or dents from any careless mechanical action.
The originality of the shapes and profiles of the ceiling skirting boards and stucco moldings made of polyurethane is a godsend for creating a stylish ceiling design. To all the numerous advantages it is possible to attribute the possibility of painting the skirting board from polyurethane to the desired color, thereby strengthening the decorative effect. Decorative polyurethane profiles can be installed in any premises, including non-standard configuration of walls and ceilings, because such profiles are made in two versions: flexible and rigid. The color and structure of the ceiling, the walls and the presence of the lighting devices of the room should serve as a criterion for choosing a ceiling skirting. The required number of skirting boards for subsequent installation is easy to determine. it is necessary and sufficient to know the dimensions of the perimeter of a room or a room. A ceiling baguette is bought, as however, and any building material, with a margin.
The installation of skirting boards made of polyurethane is simple and carried out with the use of special glue.
Glue for plinth
Ceiling plinth is glued with a polymer glue. The variety of polymer adhesives for such cases pleases with diversity. It:
• glue "liquid nails"
• moment-assembling
• Finish putty with the addition of PVA glue.
What kind of glue for plinth choose? Optimum option is glue, able to securely glue ceiling skirting to concrete, plaster, plastered, cement or brick walls.
Universal adhesive Titan Super is perfect for external or internal decoration of ceiling skirting boards, as well as for plastic walls and panels. The main advantages of universal glue are:
• water resistance
• heat resistance
• slight setting time (10 minutes).
Water resistance and heat resistance of universal glue does not change, and furthermore does not worsen the appearance or qualitative characteristics of skirting boards. On the contrary, this is comfort at work and an excellent final result is 10 minutes, and the skirting board is securely glued to the ceiling and walls. The only condition is a neatly designed corner of the ceiling skirting.
Decoration of the angle of the ceiling skirting
Straight sections of the plinth do not cause difficulties with gluing. However, the presence of corners complicates the installation a little. To attach the plinth to the corner, you need to trim the ends to form a butt joint. To do this, two strips are applied to the corner, they are marked with parts that interfere with the formation of the corner, and the excess is cut off. Decoration of the angle of the ceiling skirting is a simple and clear procedure, for which it is necessary to use a stool.
With the help of a chair, the bar of the ceiling skirting can be cut at the required angle. This angle is 45 degrees. The plinth is inserted into the stool, tightly pressing against the bottom of the stool. A piece of cutlery is cut in opposite cuts and the butt is cut off. After smooth and neat trimming of the corners, the bars are checked for alignment with each other. After this correction, you can proceed to gluing the plinth.
How to glue the plinth ceiling
Before starting to glue the plinth, remove dust or debris from the work surface. To glue the plinth is recommended from a prominent angle so that the direct joints between the slats fall into the zone of least visibility. Prepared and trimmed ends of corners should coincide with each other. We produce glue on the fastening surfaces on the inside of the skirting boards. Fastening surfaces are visible flat projections of the inner side of the baguette, located along the entire length of the bar. They have a width of 1.5 cm to 8 cm and depend on the configuration of the skirting profile. It is recommended to apply glue on the mounting surfaces with drops or zigzag lines.
Planks with glue applied firmly pressed to the place of installation. After a momentary fixation of the plinth of the plinth, the surplus glue that comes out is immediately wiped off. The gluing of the corner elements of the plinth is carried out in a similar way.
What is the beauty of the ceiling skirting? Of course, in the natural mimicry of this wonderful assistant. Any crookedly glued edges of chic wallpaper, uneven coloring or slightly noticeable cracks successfully disguises the ceiling skirting.
