In this guide, we’ll cover the tools you need for a simple installation, as well as a detailed step-by-step process to help you install your new PVC skirting boards like a pro.

Tools Needed for Installation

To successfully install PVC skirting boards, have the following basic tools ready:

• Clean cloth: For preparing the walls and removing any debris.
• Mitten saw: For making precise, straight cuts.
• Tenon saw: Perfect for cutting corners at an angle.
• Mitten box: Ensures precise angle cuts.
• Pencil: For marking measurements on the skirting board.
• Suitable adhesive: Designed specifically for skirting boards.
• Gloves: Protect your hands during the installation process.

Step-by-step guide

Prepare the wall: First make sure the wall is clean and free of any old adhesive or dust. Wipe the surface thoroughly with a clean cloth.

• Measure and mark: Measure the desired skirting length for each wall and clearly mark the cut line with a pencil.
• Cut the skirting board: For straight cuts, use a miter saw and miter box to ensure precision and accuracy.
• Cut corners at a 45° angle: For corners, you will need to cut the skirting board at a 45° angle to ensure flushness. Use a tenon saw and miter box for this task, making sure to double-check the direction of the angle cut.
• Apply adhesive: Take the appropriate PVC adhesive and apply it to the back of the skirting board. Use wavy lines from top to bottom to ensure full coverage and a secure bond.
• Attach the skirting board: Press the skirting board firmly against the wall, holding it in place for a few seconds to ensure it is properly adhered.
• Repeat the process: Continue this process around the room, measuring, cutting, applying adhesive, and attaching each skirting board until all walls are covered.
