Before installing the skirting, remove the small wooden block in the reserved position, and then card the skirting suitable for the length into the reserved seam.

4. Skirting edge corner processing

The skirting in the corner uses cutting method commonly, the edge of the angle is cut into 45 degrees of angle, and then it goes all out and is fixed. The effect of this treatment makes the skirting in the corner position is still natural and beautiful.
