How to make a corner baseboard skirting 2

A finished look to the finish of the ceiling and walls can be given by focusing on the plinth for the ceiling, securing it around the perimeter of the room. Before choosing it and finishing it is better to find out what you have to deal with, because the problem for many is the joining of the plinth in the corners. In the process there may be a lot of difficulties, since the angle of the docking is not easy to make perfect and smooth. In this article we will discuss how to make the corner of the ceiling plinth, doing the work correctly and beautifully.

Some features

Going to the market for materials, it should be noted that the range today is quite large. Leading positions among materials are wood and foam.

1. Wood products often look spectacular. With the help of such plinth you can hide irregularities, as well as add zest to the interior. To fix the wooden cornice of the ceiling, you will need screws or nails (depending on the material of the walls).
2. Polystyrene has long occupied a major position in the construction market. A wide range, as well as ease of installation determine the high demand for products. It is worth noting the excellent decorative qualities.

When making a choice between the first and second options, they take into account the style of the interior of the room.

To perform high-quality gluing plinth on the ceiling is impossible, if not cut the corner. It would seem that simply cutting the baseboard at an angle of 45 ?, but actually, if you measure the angle formed by two adjacent walls, it may not be 45?, But, for example, 42? or 50 ?. As a result, the plinth, the cut of which is made at an angle of 45 ?, will not work. In this case, when connecting, gaps and gaps are formed - the general view will be spoiled. Keep in mind, novice masters easier to adjust the ceiling plinth foam.

When performing the inner corner, it is necessary to make it so that its lower part rises above the upper, and the outer one - vice versa.

Angle formation methods

If you are going to arrange the ceiling plinth, it should be noted that the corners in the rooms can be internal and external. It is with the latter that difficulties often arise. But thanks to the advice of experts, everything can be done in one of the following ways:

1. If the process with trimming ceiling plinth you can not afford, then you can buy special accessories. In the hardware store, you can pick up both internal and external corner elements of the desired shade. From the inside of the corner, on both sides, insert the ends of the ceiling plinths. Cut the corner in this case is not necessary, and the result will please the eye.
2. Trimming the edges of baseboards at a certain angle, which ensures a perfect fit between the two elements.

You can cut in the following ways:

• using a special template tool - a block;
• manually on the markup performed by a particular method.

With the help of a special tool

It is recommended to beginners with precise cutting of the ceiling plinth using special auxiliary tools. So, for example, professionals carry out the fitting of baseboards with the help of the miter box and the end saw of the electric model.

To know how to properly trim the ceiling plinth with a special tool, it is enough to familiarize yourself with a brief guide or instruction. For the budget option include a simple hacksaw and a manual block. Despite the affordable price and the primitiveness of the tool, with the corners of the room 45? The result will be great.

Working with a special tool, some features are taken into account:

• for cutting plinth from foam plastic saw is not required, it will be enough just a simple construction knife;
• measurements of the length of the ceiling along the line of laying the plinth are carried out first;
• Depending on the model, this block allows you to trim for different angles;
• if uneven edges are present, then it would be better to use a stationery knife.

To perform cutting with the help of the body, perform the following actions:

1. We set the necessary parameters.
2. Insert the first bar, and then a hacksaw for metal.
3. We make cutting.
4. Insert the second bar, which should dock with the first in the same way.
5. Holes are chosen opposite, but the angle should be the same, for example, 45 ?.
6. We make cutting.

If all actions were performed correctly, then as a result, the two parts should match perfectly when joining the two baseboards. After that, you can safely proceed to the sticking.

It is necessary to consider which corner is in question: internal or external. The process of trimming the outer corner is carried out according to the following positioning scheme in the box:

• the strap, mounted to the left relative to the angle, should be applied to the side of the mollusk nearest to you with the bottom side up;
• the hacksaw should be inserted into the near left and far right groove;
• the bar to the right of the corner is set in the same way;
• insert the hacksaw into the near right and far left groove.

To trim the inside corner, the baseboard is laid in the same sequence, and the placement of the hacksaw is different: first, the blade is inserted into the near-right and the far left grooves, and then vice versa.

Manual block requires care and accuracy. With careless use, you can easily ruin the ceiling plinth.

Manual pruning

If there is no special tool, then you can also cut the plinth elements manually. We will look at how to cut the ceiling plinth using standard tools:

• ruler;
• stationery knife;
• corner of

Algorithm of actions:

1. Measuring the corner of a room with a corner. The tool is applied in the corner compartment to the ceiling surface. The indicator should be equal to 90 ?. If there is a deviation, it can be argued that the corners are uneven, which means that cutting the plinth will be more difficult.
2. To the plinth at an angle of 45? we put a ruler. With a sharp stationery knife, with a sharp movement, we cut off the unnecessary part. If we are talking about a wooden plinth, then first make the markup with a pencil, and then perform cutting with a hacksaw.
3. Checking the correctness of the cutting: ceiling plinth is applied to the corner of the wall. If the work is done inaccurately or there are minor defects, then you can eliminate them with emery paper (unless the part turned out to be smaller than necessary).

In the presence of an uneven angle, it is necessary to measure its degree, and divide the resulting number by 2. As a result, we obtain the required value for cutting. For example, if there is an angle of 80 ?, the baseboard angles should be equal to 40 ?.

You can adjust the baseboard in place, in this case, follow the sequence of actions shown in the photo:

Gluing Guide

To easily cope with this stage, which does not imply any difficulties, you should consider a few basic rules:

1. Fixing the ceiling plinth begins with the corners, to immediately perform the most time-consuming work.
2. Connect the elements so that there are no gaps. And the excess glue is immediately removed.
3. After completion, glue the remaining elements.
4. If the choice fell on a plinth made of plastic, then for its gluing use a finishing putty.

Lots of fasteners moisten well with a solution of primer or water. After the putty dries, you can proceed to the sealing of seams or crevices. For these purposes, suitable common compounds that are similar to the sealant.

When choosing compositions for sealing seams, pay attention to the types that are made on the basis of acrylic.
