Installation of a plinth: fittings and fasteners. Master OK

Before we take up the hammer or drill, and without regard to mount the plinth would have to answer the questions: What components are needed, what is their purpose and how they are installed? This briefly in this article.

1. measurements

At the rank of training with the banal perimeter measurement. Defining the perimeter of try not to forget about the openings, the size of which does not count. Mostly it concerns the doors and arches.

2. angles

Angles are also indoor and outdoor. And well, if they are standard, since the angle for at least one-third greater than or less than 90 degrees is already creating difficulties, the length of half an hour or more. How to install skirting them discuss in a future article.

When calculating the angles just poke them with your finger, then just do not miss. If missing some, most often it is the small corners of the niches under the radiators located in the same plane with the floor. So obsmotret worth everything.

All I recorded and sent in stroymag.

3. connectors

This is a special group of components, which is not all models baseboards or simply not always available, in general it is necessary to ask about them. Connecting strips are needed for a perfect docking plinth strips, but if they do not have to sell, you can do so.

A connecting rod, which ends under the plinth go.

4. plinth

Most prefer skirting boards with built-in duct for laying cables and wiring. Middle, they have removable, and the quality of hatred, as well as slightly different furniturny set. The photo above shows the components under the plastic plinth middle class. The more expensive it is distinguished by unparalleled softness of the plinth and simplified outer corner of the device.

The quality precast plinths outer corner has a separate base, are bolted to the wall and the cover. And its end plug has a mounting lugs. Plugs and outer corners of the plinth with the toe or with blow flies not.

5. Clamps

For mounting on a conventional brick wall fit dowel-nails 6h40mm (6 - diameter, 40 - long) with an outer "collar", which is required, when installing the dowel else fall through the hole. On the wall of loose fasteners normally I use for long - 60-80 mm.
