Description
Overview
A skirting profile designed to provide a neat and durable finish at the wall-to-floor junction.
Installation
Install MC17c Set-In Skirting:
- 100mm up the wall
- 50mm on the floor
- 20mm allowance for wall deviation and to overlap & scribe.
Ensure PC20 Cove Former is installed prior to the MC17c Set-In Skirting.
Skirting of this type must preferably be fitted after the flooring is laid, must be overlapped with sheeting/skirting, and scribed to a tight joint, then grooved with a hand groover or electrical groover. Welded to the flooring, this provides a secure joint.
Ensure that all surfaces are firm, dry, and free of dust, grease, and oil. All painted surfaces must be stripped back, and wire brushed to remove all traces of paint.
Always observe the adhesive manufacturer’s instructions. Pay attention to use of solvent-based adhesives, especially regarding ventilation and possible sources of ignition.
Apply Polysales recommended contact adhesive to both surfaces, allowing adhesive to flash off and then adhere coving to area where the floor meets the wall. Apply pressure to create a firm bond.
All fitting work must be carried out accurately prior to application of adhesive, as movement afterwards is restricted. Adjustments for length should always be made on straight joints –never on mitred sections – unless the length of the wall does not permit this.
Maintenance
The MC17c skirting must be washed with a neutral detergent and buffed to remove any scuff marks.
