Aluminum alloy skirting is a decorative profile used at the intersection of indoor walls and floors. It plays the role of beautifying the wall base and protecting the wall surface. Typically, baseboards are custom-made and installed directly on-site. But for special installation environments, we need to bend the skirting lines. For example, installing skirting lines at the bottom of indoor pillars, installing skirting lines on curved walls, etc. This article will introduce in detail how to bend aluminum alloy skirting lines into an arc. I hope you get some help from this.
Aluminum baseboards, rulers, pencils, elbows, rollers, saw blades, screwdrivers, punches, gloves, goggles, metal cutting machines, etc.
Bend with hands
Manual bending is the most primitive method, requiring professional skills and experience. Proceed as follows:
a. Use a manual bending tool to place the aluminum skirting into the tool;
b. Hold the tool handle and bend the aluminum skirting hard. Make multiple bends and corrections according to the curvature of the installation location until the aluminum skirting can fit snugly into the installation location.
c. When bending aluminum alloy skirting boards, avoid large bends. Multiple bends will affect its surface decoration effect.
Using a machine to bend aluminum baseboards is often more suitable for engineering projects. This is a high-precision, high-efficiency bending method. Specific steps are as follows:
a. Place the aluminum alloy skirting line into the bending machine and adjust the angle;
b. Turn on the machine and wait for the machine to run in place;
c. Press the bending button, and the aluminum alloy skirting board will automatically bend to the set angle;
d. Take out the curved skirting line, place it in the installation area, and observe its fit with the wall.
Hot bending is a difficult operation method suitable for special needs and complex installation environments. Specific steps are as follows:
a. Put the aluminum alloy bottom plate into the oven and heat it to the appropriate temperature;
b. Take out the aluminum alloy skirting and quickly put it into the bending model for bending and shaping;
c. Wait for the skirting board to cool before taking it out, then place it in the installation area and test the fit against the wall.
1. Pay attention to the bending force during the bending process to avoid damage to the skirting line caused by excessive bending.
2. Choose the corresponding bending method according to different installation scenarios and construction difficulty.
3. Choose the right tools, equipment, and materials to achieve the ideal bend.
4. Before installation, you should first check whether the curvature of the aluminum alloy skirting line is tightly attached to the wall.
5. After bending, the skirting needs to be checked for cracks or deformation. If so, you need to replace it.
The bending method of aluminum alloy skirting boards is not complicated. You can decide which method to choose based on the installation scenario and the complexity of the construction environment. To achieve the ideal bending effect, many factors need to be considered and adjusted according to the actual conditions of the project. When you still cannot obtain a satisfactory bending effect after several attempts, it is recommended that you seek help from professional construction personnel to help you save time and costs.
