In our daily lives, we all encounter the problem of removing skirting boards. So under what circumstances do we need to remove the skirting boards? First, this includes the condition of the skirting boards. We all know that skirting boards have a service life. If our indoor skirting boards reach a certain service life, they will face problems such as aging, fading, and scratches. At this time we need to remove the old one and replace it. Secondly, according to our interior decoration needs and personal preferences, we need to replace the new skirting lines to match our interior decoration style. Of course, this is not limited to the above reasons, there are other reasons, so let’s take a look next.
If our indoor skirting is cracked, broken, deformed, scratched, or otherwise obviously damaged, then we need to remove it and replace it with new skirting to maintain the appearance and integrity of our interior decoration.
When we change the overall appearance and style of the interior, we need to consider replacing it with new skirting lines to rematch the interior decoration style.
Sometimes old skirting boards may be outdated or no longer suitable for our interior needs. In this case, we need to consider replacing the skirting boards with new ones. To make the indoor decoration environment conform to the contemporary decoration trend.
Removing skirting boards requires the use of some basic tools, and we need to follow a certain process. So what specific tools do we need to use?
Used to pry out the connection between the baseboard and the wall.
Use to tap baseboards to help loosen glue or nail connections.
Used to remove adhesive, paint, or other build-up.
Used to cut back any supporting material that may be present.
Use to protect hands and eyes.
First, we need to determine how the baseboards are to be installed. Because the skirting boards on the market are usually installed with adhesive, or they may be fixed to the wall with nails or screws. We determine the installation method before dismantling it, which will help us think about which method is easier to dismantle.
Assume that we have determined that the baseboard is fixed to the wall using screws or nails. Then we can use the screwdriver appropriately to unscrew the screws. Or use a hammer to pull the nails out of the wall. When doing this step, we need to be extra careful to avoid damaging the wall.
If our skirting boards are glued to the wall, then we need to use a scraper to carefully peel the skirting boards off the wall during the disassembly process. During this process, we may need to tap the baseboard lightly with a hammer to help us separate the baseboard from the wall more easily. In addition, we need to avoid damaging the wall during operation.
Before installing some types of skirting boards, you need to install bottom buckles to fix the skirting boards. These bottom buckles are generally made of aluminum alloy or ABS. If we find these bottom buckles on the back, we need to remove them first and then remove the baseboards.
After we remove the baseboards according to the above steps, we need to further remove other debris on the wall. During this process, we can use a scraper or other tools to remove the remaining adhesive or cement debris on the wall or floor.
Finally, after completing the removal of the baseboards, we need to thoroughly clean the entire installation area. To prepare for the subsequent replacement of new skirting lines.
