Plinth floor. Installing a parquet skirting board Which parquet skirting board to choose

plinth is a very important part of the floor. It gives the coating completeness, makes it more accurate, smoothes the joints with the walls. This is both a practical and an aesthetic detail. Modern manufacturers offer three types of plinth: wooden, PVC (plastic) and MDF.

Which plinth for parquet to choose?

The most suitable option for this coating would be wood edging. Visually, the parquet looks very solid, even chic. This is a floor whose noble material is discernible at first sight. You need to combine it with the same noble and high-quality material. That's why a wooden parquet skirting board is the perfect choice. But if there is a desire to save money, the buyer will be offered a similar, but cheaper option. This product is made of MDF, veneered with precious woods. This edging looks decent, has almost all the properties of a natural material, but costs an order of magnitude less. This type of product is also characterized by environmental friendliness, durability and resistance to mechanical stress. And in order for the last two properties to fully manifest themselves, it is necessary.

How skirting boards are installed

When thinking about how to install a skirting board, you need to consider three possible options:

• sticking. This method is relevant if the wall to which the element will adjoin is perfectly smooth. For fixing, liquid nails or another type of mounting glue are used. This method injures the material least of all;
• fastening with dowels or screws. This plinth installation is more complex. Holes for screws with "pockets" for heads are made in the material every half a meter. Then the plinth is screwed on, and the "pockets" are puttied;
• clip-on installation. The technology of installation on clips allows you not to spoil the material, therefore, it has recently been gaining popularity. One of the advantages of the method is the ability to lay cables inside.

Proper installation of skirting boards is important not only for beauty, it is necessary to protect the edge of the flooring. Thanks to such protection, the parquet will last much longer without losing its attractive appearance. That is why you need to entrust the installation of skirting boards, which will not only help you choose the material, but also perfectly install the elements, avoiding gaps, bumps and other defects.

Floor plinth is mainly used to hide the gap between the wall and the floor, as well as to protect the walls during wet or normal cleaning. Often it can be used as an independent decorative element. Floor plinths are made of wood, plastic, aluminum and MDF.

Wooden floor plinths are veneered and massive. Veneered skirting boards are heterogeneous - the base is made of solid pine or spruce, and a natural layer of valuable tree veneer is glued on top. Massive skirting boards are made from a homogeneous solid wood - they are the most expensive. The main advantages of a wooden plinth include its status and environmental safety. The main disadvantages of a wooden plinth are its price, difficulty in installation and hygroscopicity, i.e. susceptibility to moisture. We advise you to look at the Italian veneered La San Marco Profili skirting board and the massive Magestic Floor skirting board.

Plastic skirting boards are made from various types of PVC, depending on the requirements for the product. It is used to frame almost all types of floor coverings. Plastic plinth is characterized by high strength, durability, ease of installation, and it is also not affected by moisture. It is also significantly cheaper than wooden counterparts.

Aluminum skirting boards are mainly installed in offices, medical and shopping centers. This plinth is characterized by high wear resistance, resistance to moisture and mechanical damage. Aluminum skirting boards are also installed in residential premises - most often in interiors made under the High-Tech or Modern style. In our store you can buy Austrian FN Neuhofer Holz aluminum skirting boards, the base of which is MDF, and the front side is aluminum.

Laminated MDF skirting boards, as the name implies, are made from medium density fibreboard and then laminated. This skirting board is ideal for laminate flooring or linoleum. The laminated skirting board has good antistatic properties and is easy to care for as it is resistant to dirt. The disadvantage of MDF plinth is a rather high fragility, instability to mechanical stress. You can buy Austrian skirting boards FN Neuhofer Holz from MDF from us. The range of FN skirting boards is huge: high white paintable, digitally printed, leather-coated, laminated, veneered and aluminum-coated skirting boards.

Being part of any completed interior, the floor plinth plays the role of both a decorative element and a practical one. With the help of a floor plinth, it is possible to hide the joints of the walls and the new floor. The floor plinth masks the boundaries of the wall and parquet, the edges of the laminate or linoleum. Thus, the design of the room looks neat, holistic and organic.

A floor plinth is a plank made of wood, MDF, cork, plastic or other materials, including derivatives. The main task of the floor plinth is to decorate the expansion gap between the wall and the floor. Some designs of plinths, for example, PVC, provide for hidden cable laying, using a cable channel arranged in the plinth. In the case of laying carpet or linoleum on the floor, it is the floor plinth that fixes the coating, pressing it to the floor.

The plinth veneered wooden has a basis from the jointed pine, front part of a product finishes with a thin interline interval of expensive breeds. Massive skirting boards have a number of advantages over veneered ones, but are less resistant to deformation due to moisture changes, as a result of which mounting clips for mounting to the wall are not made for them. Wooden plinth is a beautiful, environmentally friendly, durable and unpretentious finishing material. At the same time, the wooden plinth demonstrates strength and confidently withstands even difficult conditions of use.

For any floor covering - a democratic laminate or an elite parquet - a worthy frame is necessary. It performs several important tasks at once, and it is even difficult to determine which is more important - aesthetic or technological. Without it, the accompanying floor finish will look unfinished.

A parquet skirting board hides the gaps or crevices formed when laying the floor covering.

Recall the features of the material from which parquet is made, wood. It is highly susceptible to deformation: wood swells from moisture, and shrinks from its lack. That is why the parquet is not laid close, say, to the walls, otherwise the wood will “lead” and, as a result, will reduce all the beauty of the coating to nothing. Therefore, it is recommended to lay the dies with a small gap in places where they come into contact with walls, columns, pipes, etc. And so that the resulting design, in addition to practicality, also has a beautiful appearance, the resulting gaps are hidden under the fitting profiles.

How to choose a parquet plinth

When choosing fittings for parquet, several factors are taken into account:

• harmony of the combination of shades;
• quality conformity of materials;
• compliance of materials: flooring and skirting boards.

Plinth happens:

• from an array;
• veneered.

Solid wood products, as a rule, are made from solid wood of such valuable species as oak, beech, mahogany, wenge. This is the most expensive and effective solution for edging parquet flooring. Their beautiful appearance is combined as much as possible even with the elite version, despite the fact that it is an absolutely natural, eco-friendly material. Oak products are probably the most popular. The structure of the wood allows not only to cover them with varnish or oil and wax, but also to tint using translucent stains or colored oils.

The most reliable is the fastening on self-tapping screws or special finishing nails. Solid wood has significant internal stress, so the profile can break off clips or liquid nails.

On a note

For high profile dimensions, only this type of mount is used.

Some models, for example, the Parketoff plinth, have a decorative overlay molding that masks the fasteners.

In a modern interior, flat profiles are more in demand, while the height of the bar is the greater, the higher the ceilings. Corner profiles are used more often when replacing old ones, when considerable gaps of 3-4 cm open between the wall and the parquet.

Attention

However, planks from the array still have a drawback - they are afraid of high humidity, as a result of which their shape may change.

Types of fasteners

High products with a height of 80-150 mm are fixed with self-tapping screws. A self-tapping screw sunk into a tree leaves a hole on the surface of the plank, which is sealed using color-to-color wax. The step of fastening self-tapping screws is chosen, depending on the size, about 30-50 cm.

Finishing galvanized nails are equipped with a small head, which has a rounded shape, which is recessed inward, while leaving a small hole, somewhere in 2 mm. It, as in the case of self-tapping screws, is sealed with colored wax, which makes the fastening invisible.

Veneered

They are considered to be more budget friendly. Its interior is made of inexpensive solid pine or spruce, and on top it is lined with valuable wood veneer, metal foil in gold or aluminum. That is, such a product in appearance is difficult to distinguish from a more expensive array, but its moisture resistance indicators are much higher. Such slats perfectly retain the initial geometry and are easy to maintain. Many different shades and profiles allow you to choose the right option for any parquet. The dimensions of the material in height and width are 40–95 mm and 15–40 mm, respectively.

Today, white is actively used in interiors. Wide white planks go well with decor elements. And in this case, veneered fittings become an ideal option. For example, floor plinth Parquet Hall made of white ash gives the room a special elegance, adds naturalness to the interior.

Advantages:

• natural wood veneer is used for facing the material, and the largest assortment of wood species, including such rare species as zebrano, rosewood, olive and others;
• differ in precise geometric parameters, so they look very harmonious in any room;
• good drying of the base and production technology ensure the stability of the dimensions of the bar, it does not bend or twist;
• the design is based on pine or spruce, in other words, inexpensive wood, which means that the final price of the veneered version is cheaper than the massive one;
• the choice of shape - curved (boot) or straight (euro) and height (40–95 mm).

They are supplied together with dowels and self-tapping screws, or glued to "liquid nails".

• The first option makes it possible to fix the bar without damaging its front surface. The bar at the base has a slot, with which it is “dressed” on a clip.
• The adhesive used for mounting is a polymer-based hybrid. It not only hardens quickly, but also quickly gains strength, leaving no stains on surfaces. It can be used on its own or as an addition to finishing nails or clips.
