Hur man klarar Quarter Round Molding
Sömmen mellan en installerad basplatta och ditt hem golv har ofta en inkonsekvent lucka. Synliga variationer i klyftan mellan trimmen och golvet intrÀffar nÀr den styva trimmen inte överensstÀmmer med inkonsekvenser i golvets jÀmnhet. Flexibel kvartsrunda trim överensstÀmmer med ojÀmnheten i golvet för att tÀcka ojÀmna sömmar. En korrekt installerad kvartsrundaformning kommer att ha tÀta hörn som inte visar nÄgon klyfta mellan de skÀrande styckena av trimmen.
MÀta vÀggens lÀngd.
Markera den lÀngd som behövs pÄ en kvartsformad formning.
Skjut kvartsrundaformningen i en manuell mitterlÄda med det fyrkantiga hörnet sittande i ett hörn av lÄdan. HÄll trimmen pÄ plats med en hand medan du skÀr mallen i lÀngd. Ta bort gjutningen frÄn miterboxen.
HÄll kvartsrunda gjutning pÄ en fast yta med Ànden av gjutningen sitta tre till fyra tum förbi ytan av ytan.
Rikta ett klibbsÄgklinga med det omrÄde som mitterskÀret möter framsidan --- avrundat --- ytan pÄ trimmen. Kantla sÄgen i 30 graders vinkel mot trimfönstret. Klipp lÀngs framsidan av trimmen för att ta av trÀet bakom klippet.
Montera en icke-mitered bit av trim i ett hörn.
Skjut den miterade Ànden av kvartets runda trim mot det installerade stycket trim. Undersök passformen till hörnet. Trim överflödigt trÀ bakom snittet, om det behövs, för att skapa en tÀt hörnsöm.
