Follow these steps to achieve a precise and secure installation:
Step 1: Cutting the Skirting BoardsUsing a saw, cut the skirting boards based on the room measurements. Ensure that both the angle and length of each cut match the contours of the room, as accurate cuts prevent gaps and ensure a clean finish.
Step 2: Adjusting for CornersFor inside and outside corners, cut the skirting to fit neatly together. Inside corners may require a 45-degree cut, while outside corners often need a 90-degree cut to ensure a tight and visually seamless connection.
Step 3: Attaching the Skirting BoardsUse baseboard fixative or nails to secure the skirting to the wall. Ensure each section of skirting connects flush with the wall surface, leaving no visible gaps.
Step 4: Adjusting for Outlets and WiringIf there are wires or outlets along the installation path, leave appropriate openings in the skirting or trim the board to fit around these areas. This will maintain the accessibility of outlets and wiring while preserving the skirting’s visual continuity.
Step 5: Connecting Multiple Skirting SectionsFor larger rooms that require connecting multiple sections, align the boards carefully so they join seamlessly, minimizing gaps for a professional and cohesive look.
