Plinth floor plastic as secure. All about fastening the plinth on the floor

Plinth is one of the main decorative elements of the room. He gives the floor aesthetic appearance, hides the slit and allows you to mask the wires. Today, the most demanded wooden and plastic plinthsBut there are many other species. This article will talk about how to choose and how to correct the fastening of the plinth to the floor.

Types of plastic baseboard for floors

Plastic plinths are divided into two types - universal and under the carpet. Universal applicable to all types of coverage (laminate, wooden floor, tile and linoleum).

For mounting carpet, the plinth "G" of the figurative form is used. It presses the carpet to the floor, not allowing it to roll, and at the same time, performs a decorative function.

According to the composition of the material, plastic plinths are four types:

• hard from foamed PVC. This type is elasticity, is not hollow, but easily breaks.

• hollow hard PVC. They have high strength, but lower quality. To a greater extent, they are designed for simple decoration of premises without claim for sophistication.

• plinth from half-century PVC. In composition, they are the same as foam. But they are distinguished by high flexibility of material and sold in the form of ribbon in rolls. They have aesthetic appearance, a wide range of colors, and can also mimic any natural materials.

What type of plinth is better - plastic or wooden?

Wooden plinth is environmentally friendly, but has a shorter service life. The plastic is made of synthetic PVC, but its duration of operation reaches 100 years. In comparison with wooden analogs, they have a number of advantages and are a serious competitor for other species of plinths.

The advantages of plastic plinths:

• the ability to use in absolutely any rooms from the bedroom to the bathroom. And the huge selection of colors will not be difficult to choose the optimal option for each room;
• compared to wooden, plastic plinths are more flexible and durable. They are well cut and easy to install;
• are not combustible, which makes them more secure;
• have excellent moisture resistance, as a result of which they are easy to wash;
• have an affordable price.

In addition to all of the above plastic plinth models, there is a special flap for laying wires.

Based on the above differences, it can be concluded that in most cases plastic plinth advantageously wooden. Naturally there are exceptions when the design of the room involves the use of exclusively natural materials.

But among plastic models you need to choose best option. As a rule, in appearance, they practically do not differ from wooden.

The classic option is the plinth with special fasteners and hole under the cable. Its main plus is that he hides the wires and places of attachment of the plinth, and is also very easy to install. The second option is a plinth with a solid plastic design that is attached using the clip.

The choice of a particular type depends on taste preferences and financial capabilities.

Accessories elements

Component elements include internal and outer angles, connection and plug. They have various forms and painting depending on the type of plinth.

• With the help of the corners, the connection of plinths in the corners of the room, which gives an aesthetic general view.
• Interplitus connections are designed to lengthen the slats and for docking them between themselves. They are a piece of plastic with two grooves for docking.
• The plugs are needed to decorate the edges. For example, in the location of the plinth to the door. They are two types of left and right, and, as a rule, are sold complete with a plinth.

Even the components are fasteners with which the planks are attached to the wall.

How to attach the plinth to the floor do it yourself

To date, there are three ways to fasten the plinth, the main task of which is high-quality and durable fixation of it to the wall.

Fastening on glue. It is not suitable for all rooms. In the event that the walls and corners are uneven, the likelihood is very high that the plinth will disappear from the wall. But if the walls are smooth, and all angles have 90 degrees, then this is the most optimal option.

Installation using special latches to which plinth is fixed. This method Suitable in absolutely any conditions. The main disadvantage of this type of fastening is that the latches are not withstanding the re-edge, and after dismantling the plinth, you will need to buy new ones.

The last way implies fastening directly. The plinth is simply screwed to the wall screws. Fasteners will be visible, but they can be masked with special plugs selected in color. Also, the fasteners will not be noticeable if you use a plinth with a special gutter for laying electrical wires. In this case, they are closed with a decorative lid designed to mask wires. This method is the cheapest and reliable of all of all of the above.

Required tools

To install plinths, you will need tools that better prepare in advance:

• hoven for metal;
• awl (for piercing holes);
• roulette;
• pencil or pen;
• construction corner;
• drill with necessary coarse
• screwdriver with the necessary nozzle;
• perforator (if work is carried out in a brick house).

Calculation of the required amount of materials

Before starting to install, it will be necessary to calculate the number of materials that will be required during the mounting process.

First, the room is measured around the perimeter (excluding the width of the doorway). To determine required amount Plinths, the resulting number is divided into one plank. There must be a margin of a minimum of 0.5 m, which will be quite enough. The number of the necessary angles is equal to the amount of them in a particular room. And the number of plugs will be equal to the number of doors multiplied by two. To calculate the fasteners, the total perimeter of the room is taken and is divided into 50 cm. Screws or dowels will need as much as fasteners plus 10 pieces about the supply.

When calculating, it is necessary to make reserves of 2 or 3 mm, as well as take into account the reserve on the corners and the docking of the plinths.

Montage on liquid nails

To work, you need to prepare a plastic pylon, liquid nails, decorative elements of angles, plugs, and a plinth itself.

Getting Started on liquid nails, it is necessary to thoroughly align the walls, this will allow you to attach them more reliably and efficiently. It is desirable that they were trimmed with drywall or professionally pile.

The mounting of the plinth from one of the corners begins. Liquid nails are applied on the lined wall in the form of drops of about 3 or 5 cm from each other. Next to the free edge, the connecting element is glued - this will make it possible to simplify further work.

Tip: For greater convenience, the adhesive composition is not applied on the wall, but directly to the bar.

Then the plinth itself is glued to the wall. It is important to ensure that its edge lightened to a nearby wall. It will be necessary to press and hold in such a position for about one minute, until the adhesive composition grabs. After that, you can move to the installation of the next site.

So that he continues well, it should be attached to high-quality liquid nails (it should not save).

Installation using special fixtures (clips)

This method of fasteners is the most expensive and time-consuming process, but the result is perfectly installed plinth. On clipses, all existing types of plinths are mounted, while the walls are not imposed high demands. Just with more uneven walls, it will be necessary to mount clips with a smaller step from each other.

Stages of work

First, an approximate distance of the location of the attachments is noted on the wall. For this, in the place of future fixation fasteners, one of the "clips" to the wall and to the floor is tightly pressed and the mark is made with a pencil.

Then the hole in the wall is drilled in the depth of about 0.5-1 cm (but more than the dowel length). With the help of the hammer, the dowel is clogged into the wall and the clip is applied to the resulting hole and scrolls with a screw.

After that, you can move to the installation of the next mounting device. On the wooden Walls Clips are attached to the self-tapping screw. The above method is suitable for clipping clips in concrete and brick walls. If the room is smooth walls, then the subsequent clips should be fixed every 0.5 m. But on the uneven surface, they should be placed after 0.2-0.4 m, depending on the curvature of the walls.

After mounting the clip is installed by the plinth itself. First you need to measure its length. If it turned out to be the longer the required segment, it is shortened to the desired size.

To make fasteners planks on the clips, you just need to attach it to the clips and snap on them. This is done by pressing the plinth to click. Next dresses a space on the free edge of the plinth. After that, the installation of the next site begins. The new plank is first inserted into the spacer, and then also snaps into clips.

When work around the perimeter of the room is completed, it will be necessary to attach decorative angles and plugs. The angles are attached, just dressing on the butt of two plinths in the corner, and the plugs are put on the free part of the plinth near the door.

For better articulation of the angles and plugs, it is possible to produce their connection to liquid nails, it will help improve the quality of the connection and will give an additional guarantee that the corners and plugs will not be off.

For mounting carpet or linoleum, plinning are produced, equipped with special notches for laying the edges of coatings that allow you to replace the floor covering without dismantling them.

Mounting with bravery drilling

• To secure the plinth in this way, you will need a drill, self-tapping screw and a plastic pink. The method is applicable to mounting plinths in secondary rooms.
• First, the necessary measurements are made, as described above.
• A segment of the plinth of the desired size is prepared.
• Holes are drilled in it. They must already be more than a "hat" of self-sufficiency otherwise the plinth will not hold on.
• The plank is pressed against the wall and makes it fastened with climbs.

• In the absence of the channel cable, it is possible to give the aesthetics of the hats of the screws with decorative linings.

If the walls are stone, then fastening the plinth should be made using a dowel. To do this, drill holes in the wall and combine them with holes in the plinth. After which the plinth is attracted to the wall of screws.

Installation of cable under plinth

Absolutely any wires can be put under the plinth (telephone and television cables). In total, there are three ways to do it:

• the first way is to lay the cable under the clips fasteners. The main thing when using this method does not hurt the cable with a screw.

• in the second method, after installing the plinth, the screws are weakened by 5-7 mm. Then the cable is stacked and fixed to the wall.

• the third method is based on the cable laying in a special flavor, followed by the closure of the cable with a decorative lid.

Hidden cable laying, can be made when using any models of plastic plinths. But when laying electrical storage facilities, it is necessary to turn off the network voltage.

The cost of plastic plinths and components

Plastic plinths were able to prevent wooden from the building market. They have proven themselves from a good side as high-quality and easy-to-install products. But high demand caused the rise in prices for them in recent years. Their cost is made up of several factors. As a rule, this is the fame of the company of the manufacturer, the type of plinth and its colors.

The price of universal plastic plinth varies from 60 to 90 rubles for 2.5 m. Plinth with a chute under the cable costs from 40 to 70 rubles for 2.5 m, and without a gutter from 30 to 50 rubles. Clips are sold by packages of 50 pieces, the price of them ranges from 200 to 500 rubles, depending on the manufacturer. The most cheap components are plugs that cost in the range of 20-30 rubles.

Below is the approximate cost and dimensions of plastic baseboards for the floor.

The installation of a floor plastic baseline greatly simplifies the release of component manufacturers, the use of which allows you to do without cutting a profile at an angle, and the ease with which the plastic plinth can be sprinkled with a metal with small teeth.

Accessories are sold separately. You will need side plugs (left and right plugs are sold pair), connecting elements and internal and external angles. Using the connecting element, the length of the profile is increasing in cases where the wall in length is larger than the standard length of the plinth. The plugs are installed in places where for some reason the profile cannot be laid, and in places of pricing to doorway.

Council. Calculate the number of components that you need to install the plinth indoors and buy with a small margin. Without installing installation, you can damage several elements, and the stock will be useful to you. They are inexpensive, it is necessary to choose in the color of the profile.

Tool for work

For the installation of plastic floor plinth, a professional tool will not need. The process is quite simple, and you will quite bypass the tool that you have at home:

• The perforator you will need to have to drill concrete or brick walls Under dowel. For drywall walls, there will be a drill.
• Screwdriver or screwdriver. Even a small number of dowel screws that will need to screw to fix profile, better twist the screwdriver than a regular screwdriver.
• Metal hacksaw with small teeth for sawing profile.
• Awl. In the plinth, you will need to make a pass-through hole under the dowel-screw.
• Small hammer.
• Roulette and pencil.
• Building level. It is needed to check the horizontal position of the mounting clips.
• Depending on the chosen method of installing the plinth, it will still need glue or liquid nails, mounting clips, dowel-screws.

Checking Plankins.

Outdoor plastic plinth is not necessary 48 hours to withstand in the room so that it adapts to humidity and temperature. And decompose all the planks before laying and check the shade of each - it is necessary. It happens that in one package profiles have a different shade of one color. Select the planks of a darker shade and plan their laying opposite the light source. The difference in the shade in this case will not be visible.

Installation features

Work is recommended to start from a long corner itself long Wall. The profile dresses the inner corner, and the bar is applied to the wall. Planck enters the corners, plugs and connecting element by 3-5 mm on each side. This should be taken into account when installing.

It is possible to establish a glue profile provided that the walls are smooth. Otherwise, problems arise with the adjacent planks in separate places. Glue, which is suitable for plastic, or liquid nails are applied to the back side of the profile, after which it is pressed against the wall. Next, you need to follow the manufacturer's instructions - whether it is necessary to take a break for a few minutes to give glue a little dry. Press the profile to the wall follows with the effort. Excess glue are removed immediately with a rag or sponge. Remember that this method means the inability to further dismantle the profile without damage.

For mounting on the mounting clips or dowel-screws on the wall with an indentation from an angle of 40-50 mm, a mark is made under the first dowel.

Important! Remember that installing the clip on the clip is recommended for smooth walls. When installing the clips, you need to constantly control so that they are on the same line.

The perforator in the wall drills the hole and the plastic dowel is inserted. If necessary, it is slightly paved with a hammer. For mounting on clips, the first clip is attached to the wall with a self-tapping screw. For installation on a dowel-screwing, a hole for a self-tapping screw is made in the place of placement of the dowel in the plinth. Saws twisted, but in such a way that his hat does not damage the profile.

If the wall is longer than the profile, the connecting element is dressed up to twist the last self-tap on the bar, which from the opposite side is cut into size.

In the profile with the cable-channel, the self-cable screws through the channel and will be covered with a decorative plank.

In a solid plinth, the self-press cap is closed with a decorative plug.

Depending on the state of the walls, the holes under the dowel drill with an interval of 300-500 mm. If the walls are uneven, it is better to reduce the step. Litched all the holes on the same wall, immediately remove the dust with a vacuum cleaner, it will also be easier for you and more pleasant to work.

Wires are laid in the Channel Cable. You can do this at any time, just removing the decorative bar. But if you install the plinth without a cable channel, and it is necessary to carry out the wires, they are packed or before twisting the screws (in this case they will be under self-drawing), or after you are screwed up in a dowel. Leave the distance between the wall and the profile within 10 mm, put the wires and tighten the screws until you stop. Wires will lie on them. To access Wires, you will need to loosen the screws again. Of course, the plinth with the cable-channel is more convenient.

In the form of conclusion

Work on laying floor plastic plinths does not represent problems for any person, at least once kept drill and screwdriver. This is one of the reasons for their popularity. When performing installation, be careful and careful, and you will make the last beautiful barcode in the design of the floor covering.

In this article we will tell about how to mount the plinth. It will be detailed and with a multitude of pictures, the fastening process itself is disassembled, you will find out which tools will be needed to work, which is the trick of installation on the inner and external corners of the room, and also get acquainted with some interesting nuances of personal practice.

How to mount outdoor plinth to the concrete wall

For drilling in the concrete, we will also need 2 winning drills. One diameter of 4.0 mm to through the drilled holes in the plinth to make marks in concrete. The second with a diameter of 6 mm, which the holes are drilled directly under the dowel on the concrete:

and perforator. If you have not yet decided on the perforator, then reliable and high-quality:

And of course the most important tool that we will drink our plinth - it saw and stub.

Here, what the tool looks like:

Stuslo is a wonderful tool that invented humanity. Stuslo facilitates work on filling the plinth at times. Using the stubble, you can quickly and smoothly unlock the required plinth length. But this is not the main dignity. The main highlight stub is that with the help of it you can quickly and highly cut the plinth under the angles of the room, both internal and external! I somehow tried to cut the plinth at an angle at an angle, and naturally I did not work. As is known, all angles of the room (external and internal) are usually 90 degrees. So the stupid allows you to sprinkle the plinth in the correct plane at an angle of 45 degrees. Thus, scuffing the plinth under 45 degrees on one wall, and then also, scuffing it under the same 45 degrees along the adjacent wall, we will get a smooth jack of plinth in the corner of the room. You all see this when we will mount the plinth!

And of course you will need a roulette with a pencil. In repair, I always use a building pencil, why, read :

5. The process of attaching a plinth to the wall

So, tools and materials are cooked, let's start!

If you have a wall that is clearly longer than the plank of the plinth, then it can be started. For example, we will go from the door. It should be understood that the plinth having a length of 2.5 or 3.0 meters must be screwed to the wall in several places. For example, a plinth of 2.5 meters long, I fastened to 4 screws. Accordingly, we need to drill the plinth in 4 places. I would recommend to retreat from the edges of the plank of the plinth about 5 cm and drill holes with each of the sides. Next, so that the fastening places look aesthetic, better between the fastening self-drawing to withstand the same distance. Those. We take a roulette, outlining the places of drilling and drilling. As a result, we obtain plinth with symmetrically drilled holes.

So, we begin the installation of an outdoor baseline. We take a drill, with a diameter of 4.0 in a tree and drilling:

Next, put our plinth to the wall, and put it to the edge of the door casing. We take the perforator, set the winning drill on concrete also with a diameter of 4.0 mm and through the plinth we plan the first hole in the concrete:

It makes sense to immediately drill into the depth of the wall about the length of the self-press. Then so that the plinth does not shift away from the hole in the concrete, we take straight sores directly and insert it through the plinth into the hole in the concrete (so far without a dowel, just to fix the plinth. Go to the next hole in the plinth and again through it we make a hole in the concrete drill again. With a diameter of 4.0 mm. We again insert the self-tapping screw and go to the third, and then to the fourth hole.

As a result, we have 4 holes in concrete WallThrough which we will clipped the plinth. Now we take out the screws, remove the plinth and in the perforator set the winned drill with a diameter of 6.0 mm.

Yes!!! I almost forgot! Before drilling a concrete wall, do not forget to focus on the perforator for the length of the self-press. In this case, when drilling the wall, the depth of the opening will not exceed the length of the self-press. So, we make 4 holes under the dowel:

If you do not remember at all how to drill the wall and make the attachment of the dowels, then look at.

Well, the holes are ready. Insert our dowels into the holes. Now everything seems to be done and you can install the plinth. But wait! We forgot one thing. On the plinth you need to make the annotation of all holes. Let's do it.

NUANCE!

We have an expensive plinth with a veneer. When the holes, the holes need a very solid hand, which will reset the holes under the screw of the self-press. Ideally have such goals drilling machine:). But not everyone has it, so you have to work a drill. If the hand is thrown, then the veneer around the hole will be drunk unevenly and you can spoil the plinth:

In the figure you see the unsuccessful result of the crime. Therefore, if you have an expensive plinth, I strongly recommend to take one bar (you still buy a plinth with a reserve) and practice: to paint several times from the edge of the plinth, put your hand, can be changed the drill or experiment with the zenker. After some torment, you will achieve the result, but then also carefully make holes on the prepared plinth:

After we closed all 4 holes on the plinth - it's time to fasten it to the wall.

We take a screwdriver, and if not, then drill, install the bat and screw the plinth:

Nuance!

Do not twist the screws completely screwdriver or drill. You can inappropriately miss the moment when you need to stop screwing, which will lead to excessive drowning of self-pressing in the plinth. And since the veneer is removed at the scene, then with a deep drowning of the self-building around his hat, a white wood is visible under the veneer. Therefore, it is better to turn the main part with a screwdriver or a drill, and at the end to do it manually by the usual screwdriver.

Well, we are with you and screwed the first plinth bar. If you have a cable along the wall, it is clear that it needs to be hiding behind the plinth:

6. How to mount the corners of the plinth

We fastened the first pilot plate. We had 2.5 meters and walked from the door. If the room is very long, then the second strap may be lying right behind the first and no need to cut. Otherwise, we will see that the next plank does not fit and need to saw the plinth.

In this case, we take a roulette and straight from the corner measure the distance to the plinth:

Some experienced masters Immediately scold the desired length, and then make an angle. I advise you to do the opposite. First cut the angle, and then disconnect the part adjacent to the previous bar. The fact is that the angle is harder. And if you succeed in your angle, then just on a direct right distance you will be able to spill.

We start doing corner. He is 90 degrees. The question is how to cut the plinth under 45 degrees from two sides? To do this, we need a stub!

We take the plinth and put it on the stub, as shown in the picture. We put in such a way that the angle of the plinth passes exactly through the slot in the stouch, which goes at an angle of 45 degrees. It is also important to press the plinth to the side wall of the stouch with all its plane, i.e. So that the plinth is not covered. The plinth must be put as if he goes along the concrete wall:

We take a drink, insert it into a slot under 45 degrees and begin to cut the plinth:

Now you can put the plinth to the corner:

Before this, we measured the distance from the angle to the previously attached plinth. Now you can accurately sprinkle extra part. We scream with the same stub, just not at 45 degrees, and under 90:

We put the plinth to the wall. Then, similarly cutting under 45 degrees only on the other side of the plinth, which will go along the adjacent wall. Next, I connect the plinth in the corner:

In this case, again, if the plinth must be cut from both sides, it is always better to make an angle first, and only then cut off the excess part, as we can see it in the picture:

It is noteworthy that we approached a very interesting situation. We have just ended the inner corner, but the external appeared. This external angle also need to cut at an angle of 45 degrees.

Nuance!

Watch carefully and do not slip! When we make an inner corner, then after unsinking the top of the plinth is always longer than the Niza (the part that goes directly by the floor). When we beat an outer angle, then all the opposite, i.e. it is necessary to cut in such a way that the lower part of the plinth, which goes on the floor was longer than the top. Again, practice! It may even be worth buying 1 plank of a wooden cheap plinth and try to make various crucifixes of the plinth.

So, step by step you will begin to go back the corners and realize that there is nothing difficult in this. Just need to practic a little, learn to work with the stub, feel this tool:

After we made a plinth, a special plugs can be installed to the seats of hats of the screws. But here they need to be chosen under the tone of the plinth. Sometimes it is better to leave our zinc screws than to install the plug is not in the tone of the plinth.

7. How to repair the plinth, if you accidentally damaged it

If suddenly, when drilling holes in the plinth, you did not work out to make a zenkovka, and a piece of veneer broke off, but there is no spare plinth, then do not be discouraged - this question is solved.

This is how roughly the rigged veneer looks near the screwed screw:

To solve the problem, we will help us a typical wood varnish:

We take a varnish, a jar for the convenience of work and a thin brush.

Nuance!

You need to pick up varnish in the color of your plinth. If you have a plinth "Cherry", then the varnish need to take a "cherry" if the lacquer "oak", then lacquer take "oak".

True, there are exceptions. In my case, the lacquer "Walnut" perfectly approached the Plinth "Cherry". Here, halftone play a role: one varnish can have a darker halftone of one tree, and the other lighter halftone of another tree. Luck is inexpensive in the store, and for the sake of a spoiled plinth, you can buy 2-3 bottles and when diluted to experiment to achieve the desired color.

When you finish and make sure that the color of the lacquer merged with the color of the plinth, then you can walk around the perimeter of the room and where a veneer is soldered on the plinth, gently tinkering these places with varnish:

This simple reception can solve the problem of plinth chopling with plinths.

Today we learned how to mount the plinth with your own hands in the apartment. I think now even external and internal angles will not be so embarrassing, if there is a suitable tool at hand.

Decorative materials are installed at the end of the installation or repair of floors. The plinth is designed to hide the technical gaps, ugly suture elements, and can also close the communications if they are laid in the furbo niches. Molding of plinths can be carried out by different methods to walls or semi.

Choice suitable option depends on what flooring It was chosen, the material of the plinth, and technology that is most convenient. Despite the seeming simplicity of the process, facing the lack of experience, I want to ask experienced comrades: how to fix? Next, you will learn the secrets of this process and learn how to attach different types Plinth to the floor.

Types of plinths and secrets of their installation

Decorative planks can be purchased in a construction store, and there they are made of wood, plastic or MDF.

Wooden design is well suited to any floor finishing material, but due to high cost, it is most often used to finish a parquet or floor from parquet Board. Plinth can be found as ordinary domestic oak, larch, alder and appropriate european standards, with special niches for laying cable.

Plinths make from various wood breeds.

It is worth remembering that it's not worth mounted on the uneven walls of wooden plinth, there is a risk of getting ugly, or even poor-quality work with plinths that will not be able to stay.
Before mounting the plinths, it is necessary to cut the bar for precisely verified sizes.

MDF baselinters

Planks with the MDF base are rakes covered with foil, laminated film or veneer. According to aesthetic and decorative indicators, they are not worse than the materials from the valuable types of wood, but their price is relatively different in the smallest side. MDF is a rather fragile material that is very easy to spoil with improper use. That is why the floor plinth from MDF is mainly fixed to the walls using hooked brackets, which then hang planks.

Plinth from MDF is similar to the plinth of the valuable varieties of wood.

For visual design of the angles and plinning sections, in the kit there are corners and plugs on the end. This course of manufacturers allows you to dismantle the planks without any problems and set them again after the repair process.

Plastic plinth

PVC strips have a high strength indicator, and are not afraid of temperature drops, water treatment and sun rays. Plastic strips are manufactured by the example of wooden plinths and are ideal for floor-coated flooring, carpet, linoleum. But at the same time looks tasteless when mounting onto a parquet.

PVC plinths, which are manufactured for working with carpet and linoleum, are equipped with special grooves for reliable fixation of the edges of the floor covering. Light rails can be attached to liquid nails, which is fairly easy and will not require large number Forces. But minus of this type of fasteners is that in the future repairing the plinth will have to dy away from the floor, and the material will be spoiled.

Plastic has a huge selection of shades.

The advantages of plastic plinths can also be attributed to the presence of internal channels for cables, as well as the ability to use plugs for forming a beautiful angle. Also, the plastic plinth should not be cut, and the uneven wall will not be an obstacle to the installation, because the plastic is quite flexible and will not break from pressing.

Fastening base of the plinth - floor or wall

Floor and wall are perpendicular, which means that we have two options for fastening the plinths. The preferred method will be easier and convenient. It is easiest to attach the bar to the surface in which the screw will be easier.
Thus, in houses with concrete floors and the tie of cement, they advise to mount the plinth to the wall. In the housing from concrete and bricks with wooden floors, it is wiser to spend the fastening of the plinth to the floor.

The process of fastening to the wall.

To attach the plinth to the floor with concrete screed Or to the concrete walls, first drilled holes with a perforator, in which plastic dowels are then crushed. The distance between the fasteners is determined by the degree of irregularities of the base, as well as the parameters of the plinths themselves. The universal distance between the points of fixing the plinth is the gap between the 30th and 40 cm.

Walls that are finished or aligned with plaster, or made of drywall - will become a bad platform for fastening the plinths. The soft material will not allow fixing the plinth.

If otherwise in no way, then for fixing on a fragile material it is necessary to buy special self-tapping screws that are suitable for work in such conditions, or finishing galvanized nails.

What to fix the plinth

There are many ways to consolidate the necessary plinth to the floor. They are suitable for different situationsSo, among their abundance, you can find an option for yourself.

Liquid Nails

The fastest and most convenient way are the so-called "liquid nails". But they have a disadvantage - when planning subsequent plinth repairs will have to acquire new planks, because Liquid nails glue the plinth and the basis of tight. This fastener method is perfect for fragile plinths, and the processing technology itself is very simple - to apply the drop of glue on the opposite direction of the rail and fix on the surface. After this process you will know how to properly attach a fragile plinth on the floor and with subsequent repairs, its installation will go much faster.

Special clips and fixation planks

Plinths from MDF or plastic, which have inside the excavation for fixing on special clips, will not have holes from fastening screws. It is quite simple to engage in the fastening of plastic plinths to the floors, but you need to accurately comply with the clips installation technology. Under the hidden way of installation, it is implied to the attachment to the floor or wall of only the carrier part, on which the plinth is then hanging.

Sorry, nothing was found.

In order to mount the inside necessary:

First, lay an element of fastening on the floor, at a distance of 5 cm. From the angle from which the installation will be carried out.
