The final stage in the repair of the apartment is the installation of plinth . With its help you can hide the transition between the floor and the walls, as well as hide many important communications. But what plinth to choose specifically for your apartment? If the repair is done neatly, and the joints between the wallpaper and the floor covering are minimal, then you can use narrow slats. They look unobtrusive and fit almost any interior. If you want to eliminate the shortcomings of repair (uneven line of wallpaper, curved walls), then it is better to use a floor-standing wide plinth. He will hide all the flaws and at the same time will be an effective addition to the interior of the room. In addition, wide strips have the following advantages:
- combined with any floor covering;
- look good in spacious rooms with high ceilings;
- additionally protect the wall from moisture and mechanical damage;
- due to the presence of a wide cavity of the cable channel, several wires and cables are accommodated;
- with a high narrow skirting board, furniture can be placed as tightly as possible to the wall.
Wide plinth in the interior
Most often this skirting board is used in a classic and minimalistic interior. Wide bars fit well with painted monophonic walls. Well, if the color of the walls is calm and unobtrusive, for example, gray, cornflower blue, blue, beige, peach. If you need to focus on the door, then you can trim the platbands (profiled strips on the doorway) with the same plinth as on the floor. So you will make the interior more harmonious and attract the guests' attention to the original design.
If desired, the theme of a wide skirting board can also be used for ceiling decoration. There will be an actual structural baguette, which will come very close to the ceiling itself. Please note that a wide ceiling skirting visually reduces the height of the ceilings, so it should not be used in small cramped rooms.
The lineup
Today, the assortment presents several variants of plinths, which differ in material, color and physical properties. Consider the most popular models:
- Flooring wide MDF plinth . Produced by pressing wood fibers. The front side is decorated with special paper, imitating the cut of the tree. The paper is coated with a melamine coating, which in the future will protect the image from fading and moisture. Plank from MDF looks good with parquet, laminate and linoleum.
- Outdoor wide wooden skirting boards . They are made from solid wood by splicing small pieces. Moldings from an array can be of two kinds: unprocessed products and already opened with oil / varnish. The installation of this skirting board is done by piercing with metal studs or gluing to the floor with an adhesive. The main requirement for installation is perfectly flat floors and walls.
- Wide floor PVC skirting board . This option is the cheapest of all of the above. This is due to the low cost of PVC raw materials and the mediocre appearance. Decorators do not advise combining plastic skirting with parquet, as this will not look aesthetic and cheap. But with laminate, tile and linoleum PVC rails will look very organic.
- Polyurethane plinth . The latest fashion trend in the interior decor. Products from polyurethane have many structural solutions of the surface - from classical white to decorated with complex ornamentation. Another important advantage - skirting can be used when framing uneven surfaces.
