How to glue a ceiling plinth with your own hands: instructions

~ 1 minute is required to read

Ceiling plinth - a decorative element that covers the angle between the wall and the ceiling. Previously, this element was used only to mask the space formed between the wall and the floor. However, more and more often we can see the baseboard framing the perimeter of the ceiling. Now it’s difficult to imagine a modern room design without it. Thus, a person who is about to make repairs has a question about how to glue a ceiling plinth.

We advise you to pay attention to this type of decoration. It has a lot of advantages. For example, it conceals defects and gives the interior a special charm. Let's consider in more detail all the nuances.

What you need to know about gluing skirting boards

In addition to the decoration function, a baguette is able to close the wiring. Therefore, most skirting boards are hollow. They are attached after wallpapering and ceiling decoration. By the way, the ceiling can be any: stretch, whitewashed, etc. Wallpaper material also does not matter. A foam baseboard can be glued to any modern material. This process is the final stage in the repair. The biggest difficulty that can arise is the docking of the corners. If you do not know how to do it correctly, it is better to seek the help of specialists.

How to cut

The first baguette is installed from the corner closest to the entrance. You can cut it with the help of a miter box (U-shaped device). On both sides of the miter box there are special slots with the desired angle. We install a plinth between these sidewalls, and a hacksaw is inserted into the slot from the outside. After this manipulation, you can proceed to sawing. To trim with perfect edges, use an electric jigsaw. But if you are not a professional master, then it is unlikely that you will find such a tool. You need to cut it very carefully. Careless movements can delaminate or crush foam.

Sticking procedure

Now let's talk about how to glue the ceiling plinth with your own hands. After its preparation, glue is connected to the case. Turn the baguette upside down. Glue is applied on both sides of the fold. You do not need to spread it over the entire surface, just apply along the entire length. Next, apply the baseboard to the surface and fix the position for a while. There are also plastic models. An important point here is the filling of the sealants of all the spaces between the wall and the baseboard. This is done with a spatula and around the perimeter of the room.

Sticking baseboards in the corner

Consider how to glue the ceiling plinth in the corners. The angle can be either internal or internal. It is worth explaining that the first one has a value of 90 degrees (the usual angle between 2 walls), and the inside is rare and it is about 270 degrees. However, the technology for gluing the molding is the same - the joining of two slats. Use the same miter box to cut the fillet. Important - the side of the baseboard, which is pressed when sawing off the corners to the side of the tool, when glued, will be located on the wall on the same side. She is pressed to the underside of the tool. In the inner corner, the bottom side will be above the top. It is necessary to measure the angles between the walls. If the angle is 90 degrees, then cut off at 45. If another value - divide it in half.

Putty is used to fix stucco moldings. Before applying it, polish the uneven surface and apply a primer to increase the drying time, thereby facilitating installation.

Varieties of glue for ceiling skirting

The gluing of the ceiling plinth can be carried out with various adhesive compositions, depending on the molding material. Since the most popular material is polyurethane, we note the best brands of glue for polyurethane skirting boards:

• "Titanium";
• "Eco-naset";
• "Moment".

All adhesives of the above brands have a viscous structure, quick drying and quick retention of the baguette upon contact.

The first two adhesives are transparent, they are characterized by a strong adhesive ability. The “Moment” glue immediately fastens the material, therefore it is not necessary to maintain it for some time, unlike “Titan” and “Eco-nozzle”. In addition, it can be used with a mounting gun.

There is a polymer-based glue. They require the presence of a solvent and good ventilation of the room.

Liquid nails are versatile. They can be neopropylene or acrylic. Neopropylene has a strong odor and is unsafe until it dries. Acrylic nails are safe, have an unobtrusive smell, but are unstable to low temperatures, and when frozen, they completely break down.

Conclusion

You have chosen ceiling molding as decoration for the ceiling. With this element you can decorate both the external and internal corner of the room. Use a miter box to cut the material. The gluing of the ceiling plinth does not last long. If you own the technology, learn all the nuances in advance, prepare all the necessary materials, calculate the price per linear meter in advance, then the result of the work will undoubtedly please you. No time to repair? In any city (be it Moscow, St. Petersburg or others) there are a lot of good specialists who will help you do the job as efficiently and quickly as possible.
