Planning notes Almost

all skirting boards can be glued. At the inner corners of the wall, the strips are not only attached to the wall, but also to the mitres of the strips. Hot glue is particularly suitable for gluing strips in fencing rooms. Mounting adhesive is very flexible and is well suited for rental apartments, as the strips can be easily removed again.

Solid wood strips are well suited to be fastened with the help of nails. These steel pins have a very small head and are barely recognizable. The distance between the individual nails should be 30 to 40cm.

Fastening with mounting clips is complex, but also practical. The skirting boards can thus be easily removed and replaced.
