Step by step guide – Install PVC Skirting Boards

• Prepare the walls: First make sure the walls are clean and free of any old adhesive or dust. Wipe the surface with a clean cloth.
• Measure the cuts: Use a tape measure to measure the length of skirting boards you need for each wall. Clearly mark the cut lines with a pencil.
  Cutting the skirting boards: For straight cuts, use a miter saw and miter box to ensure precision.
• Angle cutting for corners: For corners, you need to cut the skirting boards at a 45° angle to ensure they fit seamlessly. Use a tenon saw and miter box for this. Always double check the direction of the angle cuts!
• Applying 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.
• Securing the skirting boards: Press the skirting board firmly against the wall, holding it 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.
