If you started a repair in the room, then the finish will certainly end with the installation of the baseboard. Such work can be carried out in one of several ways, but the simplest, fastest, and also effective is the fastening of elements to glue. Such work will be possible even for a person who does not have certain skills, since there is no need to use additional tools for mounting fillets on an adhesive composition. The main condition is the correct selection of the adhesive composition.
The main types of adhesive for baseboards: polymer blends
If you decide to choose the glue for the ceiling plinth, then you should pay attention to one of the most common formulations - the polymer mixture. This glue is developed for each kind of fillet. The most popular brands are Moment, as well as Titanium. They have excellent astringency, harden in a short time and hold the material well on the surface. A closer look at them reveals some features. For example, Eco-Naset and Titan have a transparent base, and among their characteristics - increased adhesive ability. But until the composition grasps, the baseboard will need to be supported at the surface so that it does not move. The “Moment” glue is set instantly, however, it is necessary to work with it carefully, the composition should not get on the front surface of the fillets. If a comparison is made at a cost, then Moment glue will cost the most, among other things, the consumption of this composition is higher than the alternative options.
Liquid Nails
The adhesive for the ceiling skirting board is also available for sale in the form of liquid nails that can glue almost any material. Liquid nails may be acrylic or neoprene. The latter variety has a pungent odor and is produced on the basis of organic solvents. The composition can not be called safe for human health, but this is true only until the moment when the mixture is completely dry. The main advantage of neopropylene liquid nails over acrylic is that it is possible to work with this glue in rooms with low temperatures and high humidity. Acrylic adhesive for ceiling skirting is completely harmless to human health, although the smell of these mixtures is, but it is rather weak. The negative is the fear of low temperatures - the base will be completely destroyed in the process of defrosting and freezing. The fastening strength of acrylic liquid nails is lower, since they are made on the basis of organic solvents. Another advantage of neopropylene liquid nails over acrylic is that the former have a shorter setting time.
Putty Features
Before gluing the ceiling plinth on the wallpaper, you can consider the characteristics of a special putty for mounting fillets. The advantage of this mixture is that the master does not have to hold the elements near the surface for a long time so that the mixture has time to set. Among other things, the putty does not have a pungent odor, which means that you can work with it indoors. The requirements for surface preparation are not so high, because if necessary, bumps and bumps can be masked with the same putty. Application of the mixture is carried out using a conventional spatula, the composition should be distributed evenly over the surface, and then install the baseboard. If you decide to choose such an adhesive for the ceiling skirting, then the excess composition can be easily removed if necessary. In this case, the gap between the wall and the baseboard, you can close up the putty.
Self-made glue
If desired, putty for installing baseboards can be prepared independently. To do this, you need water, a finishing putty mixture, as well as PVA glue. It is necessary to add a finishing putty to a clean container, prepare it according to the instructions, and then add glue. Gradually, pour water, mixing the composition until a thick sour cream consistency is obtained. Then it is left for 5 minutes and mixed again. Such adhesive for ceiling foam skirting boards can be used within 2 hours after preparation.
Adhesive for foam baseboard
If you were wondering how to glue foam ceiling skirting boards, then it is worth considering the polyvinyl acetate composition, which also includes PVA adhesives and its analogues. As part of such mixtures there are no harmful substances, so the mixture does not have a pungent odor. However, it provides a sufficiently long time for drying, so the elements will have to be held after attaching to the surface for 3 minutes. Among other things, polyvinyl acetate glue has one feature, which is expressed in the need to use the composition in large quantities, otherwise the fillets simply cannot be held.
Installation recommendations for ceiling skirting
Before starting work, it is necessary to carry out the preparatory phase. Before cutting and further gluing borders, it is necessary to calculate their number. Professionals will be able to dispense with materials without a margin, but if you are new to this business, it is best to purchase one more fillet. When buying a skirting board, you must consider: the lower the ceilings, the skirting should be narrower. This is due to the fact that wide elements will make the room lower. For uneven walls or ceilings, it is recommended to additionally purchase retainers, masking tape, sewing needles, stops that will help fix the baseboard until the glue dries.
Preparation of tool materials
Once a good adhesive for ceiling skirting has been purchased, you can take care of additional materials and tools. To carry out the work you will need:
- roulette;
- small spatula;
- miter box;
- hacksaw;
- acrylic putty;
- pencil;
- fine-grained skin;
- glue;
- brush;
- paint.
Sticking procedure
After the acquisition and preparation of all materials and tools, you can mark and cut the material. This can be done with a hacksaw, scraping the edges after cutting. At the next stage, you can start applying glue to the back and ends, this can be done using a gun. After that, the skirting board is pressed against the surface of the walls and ceiling along the outlined lines. Using a spatula, you can remove excess glue. This technology is repeated until it is possible to glue the entire perimeter of the room. If you have a question about how to glue the ceiling baseboard correctly, then at the next stage you should close all the joints with acrylic putty, blending the surface with wet fingers.
Conclusion
Sometimes after gluing the baseboard, its surface is painted. You can start these works only a day after the installation is completed. This procedure is optional, but you can perform it if you want to get the best aesthetic effect. To carry out these works, you can use a water-based emulsion or acrylic paint.
