Ceiling baseboard: installation by yourself

Ceiling plinth allows you to makethe ceiling is beautiful and elegant, while not spending much effort and not incurring large expenses. In addition, with his help, there is an opportunity to hide small cracks and defects of the wall-to-ceiling connection. Also, the ceiling skirting board is ideal for creating a fringing of the ornament on the wall.

Cappings ceiling can have a variety of views. Plinth with longitudinal grooves is called extruded, with a smooth surface - laminated, with the presence of convex bas-relief patterns - injection. Ceiling plinth is also called molding. The ability to simulate a plaster mold allows you to create a classic interior of the room. Gypsum stucco, in comparison with polyurethane and polystyrene, from which the ceiling skirtings are made, is quite heavy. The plinth, painted in the color of a stone or any kind of wood, looks like it is almost impossible to distinguish it from natural materials.

The plinth has a large polyurethane ceilinglife time. But no matter what type of ceiling skirting you use, the rule is one: immediately after installation it is necessary to open it with a protective layer of paint to prevent yellowing. An excellent option will be water-based paint.

Ceiling baseboard, the installation of which beginswith priming, will hide the flaws in the corners of the ceiling and the wall. Priming the corners is a bit wider than the ceiling skirting itself. To make a markup, we will need a measurement with the same dimensions that we apply to the wall and after every 20-30 cm we apply small lines to the wall.

Next we need to adjust the inner corners. With perfectly flat corners, you can use the chair. Otherwise, you need to put a plinth and draw a line on both sides of the corner, the intersection of these lines (on the ceiling) and will be a mark. By re-applying the skirting boards we transfer this label to them. Then, using a hacksaw with small teeth cut off the angle of the skirting (the line from the upper end of the skirting to the mark).

Ideal solution for fixing ceiling skirtingwill be the use of acrylic sealant, which is applied by a special gun. The use of this sealant not only allows you to glue the plinth, but also immediately seal the seams. Apply the sealant directly to the skirting board. Then, putting it on the previously applied labels, press down with a little effort the skirting board to the wall and ceiling. Appear excess acrylic sealant with a finger, then wipe the corners with a slightly damp sponge. It should be noted that, when installing a number of lying skirting, the sealant must be applied to their ends.

Upon completion of installation of ceiling skirting boards inThe entire room must be carefully inspected all corners and seams: perhaps in some places you will need to re-seal them. Applying acrylic putty and rubber spatula, it is also necessary to seal the cross joins skirting. Typically, this is done by applying three layers of putty, after it dries, these places are ground. The finishing moment of installation of a ceiling skirting board will be its coloring in necessary color.
