If the requested samples do not, the easiest way to guess the next color to the tree-damp cloth. It immediately changes color to very close to the final result. The cost of skirting the mahogany is quite high and amounts to about $ 3-6,5 (1 linear m). Traditionally, the skirting is in the cross section shape of a triangle with one side rail is treated shaped cutter. A profile can be very different, so do not count on the fact that a pair or two meters are always able to buy. Now most commonly used profile with a narrow lower part (sole) - 20-25 mm ivysotoy 40-60 mm. The front part of the brace has a smooth terrain, so the dust is removed from it is much easier than with a ribbed surface. Along with the figure, using a profile in the form of strips, the so-called evroplintus. He has a thickness of 10-16 mm, the upper part is slightly rounded. Small thickness of the product can move up furniture against a wall. There are varieties with evroplintusa Shaped front part. Then it can reach a height of 80 mm. Weak point of the wooden plinth is their fixed and no cavities for cables. Address this shortcoming, the firm KAHRS (Sweden) offers a system of precast products from an array TopLoc. Base (22 mm) is screwed to the wall, then on top of him put on resisting fitting rack so that the back of the plinth formed groove for the wires. Head screws are closed overhead molding. There is 5variantov finish. There is such skirting around $ 30 (1 linear m). Since most of the baseboards now have a small thickness, the old traditional method of attaching them to the floor is not applicable, can spoil the appearance of the product. More common was the attachment to the wall. Fix the skirting boards in different ways: glue-type "liquid nails, special nails or screws without head with dowels. The wall must be flat (tolerance of the plane, 0,5-0,8 mm). To extend the range of colors the face of the skirting boards, manufacturers have mastered the production of products from an array of conifers, but coated with a thin veneer or veneer of valuable species (ten items).

Ketoy same group of composite products can be attributed rather exotic form of skirting glued planochek bamboo (JANGLEWOOD, Indonesia). It costs about 260 rubles per running meter in size 15x96x910 mm. Imitation of precious wood with a wide range of shades, used in the manufacture of artificial floor covering (laminate) is used in the production of moldings. The basis of the profile is MDF-strap. It is harder than fiberboard, easy zapilivaetsya, does not crumble and environmentally safe (for gluing of particles does not apply either phenolic or epoxy resins). Top strap is covered with paper with the appropriate dye and resistant melamine. Cross-section of skirting-up from 12x60 28x100 mm, length up to 2,5 m. These products are very flexible and able to conceal when you install a small bend wall. For attaching thin strips on their back side notches, vertical slots. Initially, the perimeter of the room at the desired height from the floor mounted special plates with angled vertical edge. Plinth bracket is placed on top of these hooks. Ease of construction is that the baseboard can always be removed. VMDF baseboards-Shaped with a thickened "sole" cuts to make the horizontal mounting. Vetom case fixed to the wall fasteners (plastic or metal sections) is provided with horizontal shelves. Under pressure is placed on the plinth tightly these shelves, and remains in that position indefinitely. Vnizhney of many types of MDF-skirting provide a cavity for the construction of the antenna cable. Producers: PRAKTIKUS, DOLLKEN, TARKETT SOMMER (Germany), PAR-KY, QUICKSTEP (Belgium), PERGO. Price, 50-70 rubles per running meter. Most recently appeared on the market bendable (flexible), skirting boards, which may, for example, okantovyvat columns or make S-shaped and other complex shapes. They are made of wood (oak, beech, ash or maple), subjected to special treatment to change the molecular structure. Stored in a plastic bag. After installing the harden in the air and keep them attached to the form. In this case, the bar can be bent into an arc of a radius of 200-250 mm. However, the range of unusual products rather meager: the length is about 2000 mm, cross section - 10x15 and 10x60mm. Produce their businesses and KAHRS LEISTEN WAGNER (Germany). Price-$ 55-65/pog.m. Linoleum is very convenient to use plastic skirting boards, has taken on the way, has recently become increasingly popular. The advantage of these products is that they are moisture resistant, not rot and they do not act swings in humidity and temperature. Painted surface does not fade with time and can be easily cleaned.

Snow can be easily removed dust and dirt. Reference plane (the ones that are pressed to the floor and the wall) may have a rubber border. This is particularly useful in the case of tile floor, helps to hide small cracks and fissures. Almost all types of plastic moldings collapsible and consists of two parts: a fastener and the front. Installation of the first can be done with glue or screws. The front strap has klipsovidnye grips them tightly it is placed on the comb lug fastener straps and snaps. Iesche one functional advantage of the plastic baseboards: it is hollow inside. So, can not hide one, but several cables. For example, 2 thick antenna cable, 3-4 multi-strand wire, plus a telephone cable and some wires signaling. Vnekotoryh internal working models of contains a cavity for a cable diameter of 10 mm. Sometimes referred to as reinforced plastic skirting skirting for the window sills. Under this name it and you can find on sale. Indeed, the shape of the product allows them to gracefully turn over the window sill of any irregular shape. Similarly gash angle docking components in practice very difficult.
