Mounting
Now we will analyze in detail how to properly install the moldings. First you need to do some preparatory work. 48 hours before the start of installation, polyurethane structures must be brought into the room, unpacked and left to soak in the surrounding conditions. The adhesive for installation must be in the same room during the day.
The surfaces on which the moldings will be fixed, as well as the structures themselves, must be absolutely clean. If necessary, the walls are pre-leveled using special solutions, after which they are primed to ensure better adhesion to the glue.
Calculate moldings and cornices in advance. It is made taking into account the joining of drawings, cutting corners.
Remember that the humidity in the room should be in the range of 30-50%, since this indicator affects the quality of the polyurethane. With sharp fluctuations in humidity, products may deform.
To install moldings, glue and self-tapping screws can be used, or just glue. For such decorative designs it is better to purchase an assembly or docking compound.
Installation of moldings takes place in several stages.
-
First, lines are marked to connect the elements at a 45-degree angle in the corners of the room. To make the markings as accurate as possible, you should attach the ceiling cornices to the fixation point in the corner and circle their bottom and top and then measure the angle. Further, the cutting line is indicated, for this, the lower and upper points of intersection of the line and the cornice are joined.
-
After that, a hacksaw and a miter box are taken. With the help of such tools, corners are cut off on structures that will be joined at the corners.
-
Then the parts are connected.
-
Mounting or joint glue is applied to the side sections of the moldings. The layer should be distributed as evenly as possible.
-
Later, the product is tightly applied to the right place, it is better to temporarily fix it in the lower part with finishing nails.
-
A slight excess of glue is applied to the ends of the moldings... Next, the second part of such a decor is taken with a cut off corner and applied glue, it is also applied, precisely matching with the other part. The joint should be as tight as possible. The glue should bleed a little through it.
-
Remaining glue is better immediately clean with a damp cloth.
-
After you have glued all the decorative details, they are left to dry completely for a day. After a while, finishing nails can be removed.
-
If adhesive remains on the surface of the moldings, it is carefully removed with a knife, then these places are rubbed with sandpaper.
-
If there are gaps in the joints, then they should be immediately filled with sealant.
During installation, self-tapping screws are often used additionally. Such fasteners will provide a more reliable and durable fixation. In this case, for every couple of meters, there should be 3-4 self-tapping screws. But first, holes are drilled in the molding for them.
Self-tapping screws are simply screwed into the holes made, the places of their fixation must be puttied. At the final stage, the installed structures can be painted.
