Wooden Floor Skirting Installation Guide17

As a leading manufacturer of edge banding in China, we are dedicated to providing comprehensive guidance on the installation of skirting for wooden floors to ensure a perfect finish for your home.

Step 1: Preparation* Ensure that the wooden floor has been installed and is level.
* Clean the floor and skirting thoroughly to remove any dust or debris.
* Gather the necessary tools: skirting, nails or screws, adhesive, hammer or nail gun, measuring tape, miter saw, and a spirit level.

Step 2: Measuring and Cutting* Measure the length of each wall where the skirting will be installed.
* Cut the skirting to the measured lengths using a miter saw to create 45-degree beveled edges for joining at the corners.
* Sand any rough edges for a smooth finish.

Step 3: Installation* Method 1: Using Nails or Screws
* Place the skirting against the wall and align the bottom edge with the floor.
* Use a spirit level to ensure that the skirting is level and straight.
* Nail or screw the skirting into place every 12-18 inches, spacing the fasteners evenly.
* Method 2: Using Adhesive
* Apply a thin layer of adhesive to the back of the skirting.
* Press the skirting against the wall, aligning it with the floor and ensuring it is level.
* Hold the skirting firmly in place until the adhesive has set.

Step 4: Joining Corners* Place two pieces of mitered skirting together at the corner, aligning the beveled edges.
* Secure the skirting pieces using nails, screws, or adhesive.

Step 5: Finishing Touches* Fill any nail or screw holes with wood filler and sand smooth.
* Caulk the joints between the skirting and the wall to prevent gaps and moisture penetration.
* Paint or stain the skirting to match the floor or your desired style.

Tips:* Use a nail set to countersink nails below the surface of the skirting.
* Wipe away any excess adhesive immediately.
* Allow the adhesive to dry completely before applying weight to the skirting.
* For intricate corners or curved sections, it is recommended to use flexible edge banding or a custom-made piece of skirting.

By following these steps, you can achieve a professional-looking installation of wooden floor skirting that will enhance the beauty and functionality of your home.
