How to Install PVC Skirting Boards
PVC skirting boards are the finishing element of the floor installation, they add class to the floor, but also hide the wiring. Installation is simple using clips or assembly glue.
Before installing the skirting boards
Use skirting boards from the same box in each room.
A skirting board mounted with adhesive covers a 13.4 mm expansion gap.
A skirting board mounted on clips without spacers covers a 13.4 mm expansion gap.
A skirting board mounted on clips with spacers covers a 16.4 mm expansion gap.
We recommend using a 6mm x 30mm expansion bolt to mount the clips.
Attach skirting boards with clips.
1.
Position the clip against the wall and mark the hole’s center. Drill a 6 mm hole at the marked spot for the wall plug.
2.
Insert the wall plug into the hole and se-cure the clip to the wall with a screw.
Use the correct wall plug for the wall material.
3.
Attach the clips evenly, placing them 30-40 cm apart.
4.
A channel on the underside of the skirting board provides space for electrical wires or cables. The maximum permissible voltage in the wires is 12V.
5.
Fit the skirting board onto the clip from above, pressing firmly.
6.
To remove the skirting board, use a thin tool (e.g., a spatula) to pry it off the clip.

Attach skirting boards with adhesive
12.
Vacuum the wall and floor where the skirting boards will be attached before applying adhesive to ensure a strong bond.
The wall must be free of cracks, loose paint, flaking plaster, dust, dirt, and any other contaminants that could com-promise the adhesive bond.
13.
Apply adhesive to the grooves on the back of the skirting board. The adhesive should slightly extend beyond the skirting board surface to ensure a good bond with the wall.
14.
Press the skirting board firmly against the wall. It is essential to secure the skirting board while the adhesive sets to prevent it from detaching.
SKIRTING BOARDS SHOULD ONLY BE GLUED TO THE WALL TO ALLOW FOR FLOOR EXPANSION AND CONTRACTION.
Attach skirting boards in internal corner without trim.
15.
Cut the skirting board at a 45° angle to create a mitre joint.
For best results, use an electric mitre saw.
16.
Apply adhesive to the grooves on the back of the skirting board. The adhesive should slightly extend beyond the skirting board surface to ensure a good bond with the wall.
17.
Attach the skirting boards in the corner to the prepared wall with adhesive.
18.
Press the skirting board firmly against the wall. It is essential to secure the skirting board while the adhesive sets to prevent it from detaching.
