Lines of joining the ceiling and walls can not be left without attention. The best way to design this part of the room is the ceiling skirting board.
What are the types of ceiling skirting?
Consider what kind of ceiling skirting boards are available depending on the shape of the product. You can buy an injection model, it has bulges and stressed relief. The product with small gutters and grooves along the fillet is considered extruded. A standard smooth surface is inherent in a conventional laminate skirting board.
Polystyrene is the most budgetary option. The surface is matte, smooth or with a relief pattern. Polyurethane products are better. Rubber adds strength and flexibility at the same time. Such a base is not afraid of high humidity, so bravely fasten it in the bathroom or pool. For quality it is necessary to pay more expensively. To fix plastic panels, a plinth of PVC is required. The cost is moderate, a wide range of colors, courting and fastening such a finish is very simple.
Types of wooden ceiling skirting depends on the type of wood from which the panel is made. The pine is popular. As an additional treatment, ultraviolet hardening is used. The naturalness of the product and its durability attract consumers, the price frightens off. The main disadvantage, despite the cost, is insufficient plasticity (flexibility).

It is possible to emphasize the ceiling and distinguish it from the wall by stucco molding . Aesthetics are at a height, but with such material it is difficult to work because of its weight and brittleness. For stretch ceilings you need polyurethane finish. In addition, "to sew" the ceiling is also a soft plinth. It is barely noticeable, without texture and pattern. Its flexibility allows you to frame the surface as accurately as possible.

If the walls are faced with wallpaper or planned to be painted with water-based paint, the fillet is fastened before the finishing of the walls. Often the ceiling and its fringe are painted together in one color. Remember, the thinner the walls, the fewer the slits. It is very important to properly join the corners. Prune in the stool, grind edges.

For ceiling skirting, the types of "gluing" to the wall are different. The wooden base is attached to the wall only by means of wall fasteners. Polystyrene, polyurethane can be put on "liquid nails", finishing putty. To fix gypsum baguettes need putty or alabaster. Special glue is conveniently applied using a mounting gun. Silicone sealant is better not to use, you can not paint it. Usually the mixture is applied to the panel itself, then the product is pressed against the wall by the abutment marking. The work begins with a corner, the excess glue is removed with a spatula made of rubber or a clean rag.
Which ceiling skirting is better to choose in the interior?
Depending on the general style of the room and push off to decide what color and texture ceiling skirting should be. Classics needs luxury, so products with imitation of stucco or carving on wood will do. For a restrained English design, smooth non-thin panels are appropriate, often with tinting. For minimalism, nothing is required except a thin frame, a maximum of a modest geometric pattern. If the room is oversized, the walls are solid, add aesthetics with the help of a three-dimensional pattern. If there is a picture on the skirting board or it will be colored, it is necessary to tie in a shade to some plane or a specific element. Such an approach will ensure a smooth transition.

Wide products smooth the corners and, if properly installed, hide the defects of the butt joints. In a room with a low ceiling, categorically it is not recommended to use wide fillets, the view will be cumbersome. If you are not sure how your "solution" fits into the interior - the average thickness and neutral color - is almost always a good idea.
