### What is PVC skirting?

PVC skirting is a type of baseboard or molding that is made from polyvinyl chloride (PVC) material. It is installed along the bottom of walls to provide a finished look and to protect the wall from damage. PVC skirting is popular due to its durability, water resistance, and ease of maintenance. It comes in a variety of styles, colors, and sizes to match different design needs.

### How to install PVC skirting:

1. **Measure the wall**: Measure the length of the walls where you will be installing the PVC skirting. This will help you determine how much skirting you will need to purchase.

2. **Cut the skirting**: Using a saw, cut the PVC skirting pieces to the appropriate length based on your measurements. Make sure to cut each piece at a 45-degree angle for proper corner installation.

3. **Prepare the wall**: Clean the area where the skirting will be installed, making sure it is free of debris and dust. This will help the adhesive stick better.

4. **Apply adhesive**: Apply a strong adhesive to the back of the PVC skirting. Make sure to evenly distribute the adhesive to ensure a secure attachment to the wall.

5. **Install the skirting**: Carefully place the PVC skirting along the bottom of the wall, starting at one corner. Press down firmly to ensure a tight bond with the wall.

6. **Secure with nails**: For added support, you can use nails to secure the skirting to the wall. Hammer in the nails at an angle to avoid splitting the skirting.

7. **Fill in gaps**: If there are any gaps between the skirting and the wall, use caulk to fill them in. Smooth out the caulk with a putty knife for a seamless finish.

8. **Paint or finish**: Once the skirting is installed, you can paint or finish it to match the rest of the room's decor. This will give the skirting a polished look.

9. **Clean up**: Clean up any excess adhesive, caulk, or debris from the installation process. This will leave your newly installed PVC skirting looking neat and tidy.

Overall, PVC skirting is a versatile and practical choice for adding a stylish touch to any room. By following these steps, you can easily install PVC skirting yourself and enhance the aesthetic appeal of your space.
