How to install the solid wood skirting line?

Drilling: Observe the direction of water and electricity wiring before drilling to prevent mistakes. The interval between drilling holes should not be too large, otherwise the skirting line will be difficult to stick to the wall. Drill holes in the wall with special tools. The baseboard is generally 2m in length. In order to make the skirting board fixed more firmly, the spacing of drilling holes should be about 40cm, and the spacing at the interface should be smaller. Nail the small piece of wood into the hole just punched. The nail that fixes the baseboard is nailed to this batten and directly nailed to the wall, so the nail is easy to loosen. Note: Because the pipeline of hydropower project is buried in the wall, the position of the pipeline is directly below the switch socket, so the position should be calculated when drilling to avoid damage.

Fix the solid wood skirting line on the wall with nails. At this time, it should be noted that the solid wood skirting line cannot be completely close to the wall due to the characteristics of wooden materials, so an expansion joint of about 1cm should be left.

Installation step 6 Solid wood skirting splicing

Finally, after the skirting line is fixed, it is necessary to decorate the corners of the skirting line to ensure the beauty of the skirting line when splicing. Generally, the corners of the skirting line are cut into 45 angles for splicing, so that the skirting line is naturally spliced at the corners.
