Well, finally something has happened - you have changed the floor covering. Left to do the final touch - set the plinth. Today, manufacturers offered models with different performance characteristics. The rich color palette allows the buyer to purchase a product just for his room. However, when choosing decorative strips must be taken into account the fact that they all have different properties, depending on the material of manufacture. Nobility of a tree Perhaps, wooden plinth - the most expensive, so used to demarcate the parquet or laminate floors. Stick it to clean and dry wall. The basis construction consists of solid wood, and cover - veneer. If funds allow, the plinth is made entirely of solid wood. Still held in high esteem oak, ash, cherry and other species. In some models, provided the grooves for the cable. All wood products are durable and long life. However, in fairness it should be noted and disadvantages. Chief among them is the high cost. The most serious competitor to the wooden plinth is their plastic counterpart, which is cheaper. Lightweight synthetic plastic moldings are made of rigid foam PVC and use of coatings, differing not fabulous price (eg, linoleum or carpet). Almost all kinds of items consist of two parts: a fastener and the front. Installation of the first can be done with glue or screws. The front strap has klipsovidnye seizures, which it is placed on tightly comb lug mounting straps and snaps. The functional advantage of the plastic baseboards: inside it is hollow, ie it can not hide one, but several cables. The face has a groove to insert a tape carpet or linoleum, cut off from the main roll. With careful tailoring can achieve the unity of the figure of the flooring. Dignity "synthetics" are obvious: it needs no extra finishing (eg painting), requires no special care, rather resistant to moisture and ultraviolet light, has an absolutely smooth surface. Due to the material production of straps are very light in weight, which greatly facilitates the repair work. Help in this and additional fasteners: Mechanical and connecting corners, fasteners and clips. Skirting can be used in rooms with high humidity. However, at low temperatures (below -5 ° C) products become brittle, so it is recommended to use for interior decoration. Lack of strength and fragility are the main disadvantages of this type of products. Planck, which hides imperfections Artificial fellow wooden plinth - a product of MDF. It is used to demarcate the laminate and linoleum floors, it is also possible to use as the final finishing of walls lined with the decorative panels on the basis of the same material. Top strap is covered with paper with the appropriate dye and resistant melamine. The product is mounted on a flat wall with brackets in the form of hooks, which are tightly put on the plinth. End cuts are closed with plastic caps, and corner joints - "corner". Due to its flexibility, the product can hide small irregularities of the wall. Among other advantages of MDF plinths: low price, resistance to moisture penetration and the appearance of dirt, UV. Products do not attract dust and are hygienic. In addition, they are environmentally friendly, since the gluing of the particles are not applied phenolic and epoxy resins. However, there are drawbacks, chief among them is the low strength.
