What is a skirt?
Skirting Board is an architectural element used to increase the appearance of the staircase. Also known as staircase strings are installed skirt plates along one or both sides of the staircase depending on the design. When one side of the staircase backs against the wall and the other side has an open railing, the village is usually used only on the side that introduces the wall. It can be used to hide the gaps between the staircase and the wall, especially when one of these elements is slightly crooked or uneven. Skirt boards also prevent dust and dirt collection in these gaps, which makes it easier to keep the stairs clean. In some cases, the skirt gives the added force and support and helps it to maintain its shape. Finally, the skirts work as trademarks and help protect the walls from the abrasion mark, dents and other damage.
Depending on the desired appearance, the skirt can be made of wideScales of different materials. They are often made of wood to match the floor or replenish the hardwood floor. Some skirts are made of composite wooden products, thermoplasty or even stainless steel. Home owners may decide to paint or color the skirt plate to complement the surrounding decoration, although some units are sold with the factory surface already on site. These boards can be smooth or textured and come up with a number of different profiles that can be used to compare other types of household lining.
To install the skirt plate on the stairs, it is useful to start before the staircase and treads are introduced. Once Stringers or Structural Supports are installed, the institutes can carefully measure around these supportive supports to determine the size of the skirt plate. It is important that each stair supporting support conditions are measured before cutting the skirt, because different parts of the staircase may vary in size from top to bottom. PlateThe skirt is then joined around the supports and nailed on the spot using small surface nails. When the skirt installation is complete, the installation programs can continue with risers and treads.
Most pre -prepared staircase units include stains on one or both sides. These boards give the unit sufficient stability and strength to hold it together during transport and installation. Pre -created staircase units allow installation to complete the staircase installation in one simple step with a low risk of error.
