How to Install the L8/1 Board? Choose the Method Suited to Your Needs

1. Adhesive Installation – Quick and Aesthetic

This is the most commonly used installation method, ideal for apartments, homes, and commercial interiors.

What You Will Need:

• Adhesive for skirting boards (preferably solvent-free)

• Painter's tape (optional)

• Knife, saw, or guillotine for trimming

• Level

Step by Step:

1. Thoroughly clean the wall and floor surfaces – they must be dry and grease-free.

2. Apply a thin layer of adhesive to the back of the board – evenly, along the entire length.

3. Press the board against the wall and floor, holding it for a few seconds.

4. If necessary, secure the board with painter's tape until the adhesive sets.

5. Remove excess adhesive with a damp cloth.

Advantages of This Method:

• installation without drilling – no wall damage,

• aesthetic finish without visible fixings,

• perfect seal at the wall-floor line.

2. Clip Installation – Convenient and Easy to Remove

This method is recommended where the skirting board may be removed in the future, such as in commercial spaces.

Required Materials:

• Mounting clips dedicated to the Prestige Decor board

• Drill or screwdriver

• Plugs and screws (if mounting on a hard surface)

Step by Step:

1. Mark the locations for the clips (usually every 40–50 cm).

2. Attach the clips to the wall using plugs.

3. Slide the board onto the mounted clips – you will hear a characteristic "click."

4. Press the entire assembly to ensure the board fits perfectly.

Advantages of This Method:

• easy removal of the board without damage,

• possibility of running cables behind the board,

• durable and stable mounting.

Additional Tips

• Trimming: use a skirting board guillotine or hand saw – always cut on a flat surface.

• Corners: use dedicated connectors and internal/external corners if available for the L8/1 model.

• Joining Sections: press one element to another dry before applying adhesive – this facilitates perfect alignment.

Whether you choose adhesive installation for the L8/1 board or clip installation, you can expect a quick and aesthetic final result. Installation without drilling is a great solution if you want a clean finish without wall interference. Thanks to its simple construction and high-quality material, the work proceeds smoothly, and the visual effect meets the highest aesthetic standards.

How to Calculate the Right Amount of L8/1 Boards?

Buying the right amount of skirting boards is a crucial step in the interior finishing process. Many people wonder: how many skirting boards do I need to finish a room? To avoid shortages or excess material, it's worth taking a simple measurement – preferably before purchase.

How to Calculate the Amount of L8/1 Board?

Each Prestige Decor L8/1 board is 2 meters long. To determine the number of boards needed, follow these steps:

1. Measure the perimeter of the room:
Add up the lengths of all walls where the board will be installed. For irregularly shaped rooms, it's worth adding a few centimeters for trimming.

Example:
A living room measuring 4 m x 5 m has a perimeter of 4 + 5 + 4 + 5 = 18 meters.

2. Divide the perimeter by the length of one board:
18 m ÷ 2 m = 9 pieces

3. Add installation allowance:
We recommend adding about 10% allowance for possible cuts, errors, and material losses.
In this case: 9 pcs × 1.1 = 9.9 → round up to 10 pieces

Formula for Calculation:

Which Floors Best Complement the L8/1 Model?

Choosing a skirting board is not just a technical decision – it's an important detail affecting the final look of the entire arrangement. The Prestige Decor L8/1 model is designed to match many popular types of floors – from vinyl panels, through light wooden boards, to modern laminate floors. Its simple profile and classic white make it blend perfectly with various interior finishes.

L8/1 Board for Vinyl Panels

Vinyl panels are one of the most popular solutions in modern interiors – they are durable, waterproof, and available in a wide range of colors. The L8/1 board for vinyl panels is an excellent complement to these floors – both in wood and stone imitations.

Why Does It Fit?

• matte finish of the board matches the vinyl texture

• moisture resistance – ideal for kitchens, hallways, or bathrooms

• elegant, neutral design – enhances the floor's aesthetics without overwhelming it

Skirting Board for Light Wooden Floors

In rooms with light floors (e.g., bleached wood, light oak, gray laminate), choosing the right skirting board is crucial. A skirting board for light floors, like the L8/1 model, does not create unnecessary contrasts – on the contrary – it provides color uniformity and visually enlarges the space.

Well Suited With:

• laminate panels in shades of bleached oak, pine, birch

• natural boards with light grain

• ceramic tiles in sandy, beige, or gray colors

How to Match the Skirting Board to the Floor Color?

This is a question many customers ask. While there is no one rule, here are some practical tips:

• For a light floor – choose a white L8/1 board for an elegant and neutral finish.

• For a dark floor – you can choose a contrasting board (e.g., white for dark walnut), or repaint the L8/1 board with paint matching the wall or floor color.

• For wood-textured floors – follow the shade: cool wood colors match white and gray, warm ones pair better with creams and beiges.

A skirting board doesn't have to match the floor color perfectly – often contrast or matching the wall works better.
