Sometimes a situation arises when the floor skirting board is damaged and there is a need to replace it with a new. This process is quite painstaking, requiring patience and time. For work, you need to prepare the following tools and materials: – P -shaped knock (tool for cutting a board that, in appearance resembling a tray); – nails, hammer, saw;- varnish and putty on wood;- spatula. The most difficult stage is the replacement of the baseboard in the corners of the floor. The process begins with the fact that the skirting board is inserted into a knock and the edge is cut at an angle of 45 °. The skirting board is attached to the base of the wall, and nearby, the next skirting board is applied.
In order to connect them with each other, in the same way, using the casket, cut the edge of the second skirting board, trying to ensure that the length and angle of the cut precisely coincide with the first plinth. As a result, after both skirting boards are connected, they must form an angle of 90 °. The same actions are made with other skirting boards that need to be combined in the corners or at the ledges. Replacing the baseboard along the wall is not particularly difficult, it is enough to dismantle the old element, and fix the new. The nails are selected a little longer than the thickness of the baseboard, drive them completely, deepening the hat into the surface of the material. Cracks or chips that appeared on the surface of the skirting board are closed either with varnish or putty, which is carefully applied with a spatula.
