How is the installation of skirting boards at the stairs step by step?

Installation of skirting boards at the stairs is a task that requires precision, especially when we want to maintain the aesthetics of the interior and functionality. Stairs, as an important architectural element, require an appropriate finish that will not only emphasize their charm, but also ensure durability and safety. To get the best results, it is worth paying attention to several important steps that will bring us closer to the perfect installation of skirting boards in this special place.

How to install skirting boards at the stairs step by step? The process includes:

Surface preparation

Before you begin installation, make sure that the surface of the stairs and walls to which the moldings will adhere is clean, dry and free of debris. Use a vacuum cleaner and a damp cloth to remove dust, dirt, as well as residue from building materials. Thorough cleaning will ensure better adhesion of the adhesive.

Dimensioning and trimming the slats

Use a measuring tape to measure the length of each edge of the staircase, taking into account both horizontal and vertical sections. Then, use a saw or slat cutting machine and precisely cut the stair slats to the correct dimensions. Cutting the moldings at the right angle is essential to perfectly match the angle of the stairs.

Trim and check the fit

Apply the cut moldings to the stairs to make sure they fit perfectly around the edges and corners. Use a level to check that the moldings are aligned evenly, both vertically and horizontally. Make minor adjustments if necessary.

Installation of slats with mounting glue

Apply mounting glue evenly to the inside of the molding. Apply the molding to the edge of the staircase and press evenly for a few seconds so that the glue adheres well to the surface. You can use a rubber mallet to gently tap the molding and ensure full contact with the surface.

Additional fastening with wall plugs

In areas where the stairs are particularly exposed to heavy use, it is worth using wall plugs to further strengthen the attachment of the slats. Drill holes in the appropriate places and fix the slats with screws.

Finish the installation

Once all the moldings are attached, remove any excess glue that may have escaped from under the moldings, and let the moldings sit for several hours until the glue is fully cured. Finally, check that all the moldings are evenly installed and that the aesthetics of the finish meet your expectations.

By carefully carrying out all the installation steps, the skirting boards on the stairs will not only be a functional, but also an aesthetic element of the interior finish. Regular attention to their cleanliness and condition will allow you to enjoy their neat appearance for many years.

What to pay special attention to when installing skirting boards at the stairs? Summary

When installing skirting boards at the stairs, special care should be taken to ensure safety and precision, since stairs are a place where skirting boards must have the strength of proper attachment to ensure durability and aesthetic appearance, as well as to protect the edges of the floor. Above all, it is worth remembering to fix the stair mouldings stably, which will prevent them from moving or unsticking, which could pose a danger to stair users.
