So, the laying of linoleum is safely completed, and now it's time to install skirting boards. The older generation is accustomed to the fact that the skirting boards are made entirely of wood.

It is most convenient to start the device of the skirting from its cutting to the strips of the necessary length, which can then be laid out immediately along the perimeter of the room. This will speed up the workflow. You need to start fixing it from the corner of the room. Since the plastic is easily pierced with an awl, attach the product to the wall and make holes in the places where the screws will be inserted and screwed into the dowels, the distance between them should not be more than 50-60 cm. Before screwing in the last screw, at the end Skirting do not forget to put on the connector. After this, it will need to insert the next segment, which is fastened to the wall in a similar way.

When the installation skirting along the solid wall reaches the next angle, you will need to measure the remaining part of it in order to make the next segment of the desired length.

Just like a plastic, wooden plinth begins to install, starting with the corner or from the door. It is necessary to measure the length and cut off the desired piece. Angle joints must be sawed at a 45-degree angle, along the length of the skirting. To do this, you need a crosscut saw, since the quality of the trimming it provides is very good. If there is no saw, then you can use a chair with a hacksaw. That's the way it is desirable to immediately cut and fit the entire plinth, which will go to the frame of the floor along the entire perimeter.

Further on the wall, you need to make marks, where the dowels will be inserted, after which the final installation of the skirting boards with the help of screws is made. Further, if necessary, in some places it is necessary to clean the tree with emery so that there are no roughnesses, and then cover the places of fastening with putty on wood and allow it to dry out.
