How to Install the Aluminum Skirting
Aluminum skirting is a common decoration material, which not only has a beautiful and generous appearance, but also has good durability and easy to install. How to install them is what every house renovator wants to know. Here are some methods about its installation.
1. Direct paste method
Cut the aluminum skirting into suitable length. And use small nails to fix the skirting to the corner of the wall. Apply the right amount of glue on the wall and paste the skirting on the wall. Use a rubber mallet to gently tap the skirting pasted on the wall to make it close to the wall. Finally, use small nails to fix the skirting with the wall surface to ensure that it will not fall off.
2. Double fixing method
Determine the installation position of aluminum alloy skirting on the wall surface, and use small nails to fix the skirting on the wall surface. Attach a second layer of skirting on top of the first layer of skirting and make sure there is a proper gap between the two layers of skirting. Use a nailer to secure both layers of skirting to the wall, making sure they don’t come off. Finally, apply a suitable glue on the joints of the skirting to make it more solid.

3. Slot fixing method
Determine the installation position of aluminum alloy skirting on the wall, and use small nails to fix the skirting on the wall. Embed the grooves in the two ends and the middle position of the skirting so that it is parallel to the wall.
Use small nails to secure the slot to the skirting to ensure that it does not come off. Apply suitable glue to the joints of the skirting to make it stronger and more beautiful.
Lastly, attention is needed:
When installing aluminum skirting, make sure that it fits tightly to the wall to avoid gaps.
When using small nails to fix the skirting and jambs, be careful not to damage the surface of the wall and skirting.
When applying glue, apply the right amount to avoid waste and contamination.
After the installation is completed, check over all the skirting to make sure it is installed firmly and beautifully.
