First of all, let’s do some popular science about what is tile baseboard? For those who are not in the industry, they don’t know much about this, so it is necessary to explain it. Ceramic tile baseboards refer to the decorative lines that are specially set at the corners of indoor walls where the lower end is easily damaged by kicks or stained by brooms, mops, etc. There are many materials for skirting boards, such as ceramic, wood, glass, ceramic tiles, etc.
In the bedroom design, the inner corner line, waist line, and skirting line play a visual balancing role. Their linear feel, materials, colors, etc. echo each other indoors, which can have a better beautifying and decorative effect. Another function of skirting is its protective function. The baseboard, as the name implies, is the area of the wall that can be kicked by feet, so it is more susceptible to impact. Making skirting can better make the connection between the wall and the ground stronger, reduce the deformation of the wall, and avoid damage caused by external collision.
Tile skirting Wire specifications
The height of tile skirting is generally about 10 cm. In recent years, the height of tile skirting has been gradually reduced. Generally, families choose a height of 6.6 cm or 7 cm, because this can make the interior decoration look more delicate and elegant. Beautiful. Decorative drawings are generally 150mm. Common specifications include 800*110mm, 600*110mm, 1000*110mm, etc.
Good home decoration design should have appropriate scale and proportion, such as large furniture in large rooms and compact small rooms. , Furniture with moderate proportions. The proportional relationship between the height of the skirting line and the space scale is also very large. If the height of the space is 2.8 meters, the skirting line will be 150mm high. If the space is lower than 2.5m, the skirting line will be 100mm high.
Tile skirting Line advantage
Since tiles appear in the material of the skirting, it means that it has certain reasons and advantages for its existence. The biggest advantage of the tile skirting is that it is moisture-proof. If the air humidity is high, the tile skirting will not appear like the solid wood skirting. The phenomenon of moisture corrosion, and wooden baseboards may be corroded by termites over time. In addition, tile baseboards are beautiful, easy to clean, come in various colors, and can be used with tile floors.
1. How to install tile baseboards
Step 1: Construction preparation
1. Before construction, the wall surface should be carefully cleaned and watered one day in advance.
2. Cut one end of the skirting board at the sun corner into 45° with a toothless saw according to the required quantity, and cut it into 45 degrees with a toothless saw. Rinse the baseboards with water and dry them in the shade for later use.
3. When installing the veneer, try the veneer from the outside corner to both sides to check whether it is straight and there are no gaps. Whether it is tight and whether there are any defects such as missing edges or corners, it is qualifiedCan be applied later.
4. No matter what installation method is adopted, first attach a skirting board to both ends of the wall. The height of the upper edge should be on the same horizontal line, and the thickness of the wall should be the same. Then pull the line through the upper edge of the two skirting boards and install them one by one in order.
Step 2: Construction methods
1. Pasting method: According to the wall standard ribs and standard horizontal lines, use 1:2~2.5 cement mortar to apply the base plaster, and scrape the scratches. After the bottom layer of mortar is dry and hard, apply 2~ to the wet and dry tile skirting board. 3mm plain cement slurry is used to paste it, and it is knocked flat with a rubber hammer. Pay attention to leveling and straightening with a level ruler and ruler board at any time. The next day, wipe the seams with cement paste of the same color as the floor panel.
2. Grouting method: The skirting board is temporarily fixed at the installation position, and the two adjacent skirting boards are sealed with gypsum. And securely between the skirting board and the floor and wall, and then grout with 1:2 cement mortar (volume ratio) with a consistency of 10~15cm. And wipe up any spilled mortar at any time. After the poured cement mortar has finally set, shovel off the gypsum and wipe it clean, and wipe the joints with cement mortar of the same color as the board surface.
2. Precautions for installing tile baseboards
1. The maximum gap between the tile baseboard and the floor should be less than 3mm. Plug it with a 1 yuan coin. If If more than 2 are inserted, the gap may be too large.
2. Before laying the skirting, the wall with white cement should be shoveled clean and then laid. After laying the skirting, attention should be paid to protecting the skirting to prevent a large amount of paint from sticking to the surface of the skirting and making it impossible to clean it off during painting or spray painting. It is recommended that after shoveling the cement, the paving position should be brushed with a mixture of 107 glue and cement before laying the tiles. This can make the tiles stronger.
Since it is necessary to complete the closing work of the floor and door frames, although it seems a bit cumbersome, it is still inevitable in home decoration. Baseboards. Commonly used are special decorative wooden baseboards, which are wide or narrow and are very convenient. However, if you choose marble or granite to lay the floor, and then use wooden skirting or decorative boards to close it, it will look a bit abrupt. If natural stone skirting is used, the skirting must be spliced due to size restrictions. The joints of the skirting will affect the overall appearance.
The above are the installation precautions about the installation method of tile baseboards. See you next time!
