Baseboards are an indispensable part of home renovation, not only to beautify the space, but also to protect walls and floors from damage. Here's how to install the baseboard:
1.Preparation.
Before you start installing the baseboards, you need to prepare accordingly. First of all, the quality of the baseboard should be checked to ensure that its surface is defect-free, the color is uniform, and the size meets the requirements. Secondly, it is necessary to clean up the construction site to ensure that the ground and walls are clean, dry and flat, and free of impurities such as oil and dust. Finally, prepare the required tools and materials, such as screwdrivers, electric drills, expansion screws, cement nails, etc.
2.Determine the anchor point.
After the preparation is completed, it is necessary to determine the anchoring point of the baseboard. Generally speaking, the anchoring points of the baseboard should be set on the wall surface with a spacing of 50-100mm. When determining a fixed point, you can use chalk to mark the location on the wall, or use the Measure tool to measure.
3.Drill.
Once the fixing points have been determined, holes need to be drilled in the wall. The depth and diameter of the borehole should be determined according to the size of the expansion screw or cement nail used. When drilling, care needs to be taken not to damage the wires and pipes inside the wall.
4.Install the fixtures.
After the hole has been drilled, the fixing needs to be installed. Fixing parts can be expansion screws or cement nails, etc. When installing, it should be noted that the length and size of the fixing should be determined according to the thickness of the wall and the size of the baseboard. At the same time, the fixing piece needs to be inserted vertically into the wall and tightened with a tool such as a wrench.
5.Install the baseboards.
Once the fixtures have been installed, the baseboard needs to begin. When installing, care needs to be taken to align the baseboard with the fixings and tighten them using tools such as screwdrivers. At the same time, it should be noted that there should be a certain gap at the interface of the baseboard to avoid the impact of thermal expansion and cold contraction.
6.Trimming and cleaning.
After the baseboard is installed, it needs to be trimmed and cleaned. Check whether the surface of the baseboard is smooth, flat, flawless, etc. At the same time, items such as garbage and tools need to be cleaned up from the construction site.
The above are the steps to install the baseboard. When installing, it is necessary to pay attention to the issues of safe operation, quality assurance, attention to detail, etc. If you have any questions about the installation process or need further guidance, you can consult a professional renovation company or renovation master.
