How to choose an outdoor plinth. Select the plinth under the tile. Features and characteristics of floor plinths floor in warm colors

If you started repair and come to its final phase - floor finish, then, most likely, you are facing the problem of choosing not only floor covering, but also the plinth. And he, as is known, plays an important role in creating a single and harmonious painting in the room. Thus, the flooring plinth hides the joints of wall and flooring, visually expands or increases the space in height. And all this can be achieved, simply correctly selecting the shade of panels in relation to the main colors in the room.

How to choose a plinth, what color and size to buy a panel, which combination will be better, and what is the price of the material, we understand this material.

Types of plinths

All decorative panels for floor decoration can be divided into three types by type of material used in the production:

1. Wooden plinth;
2. Plastic panels;
3. Aluminum strips.

• Plinth from a wood array, as well as veneered strips and MDF panels, we gradually depart into the background. Since the tree although it has a noble appearance, is an environmentally friendly material, still combined with parquet or parquet board. Choose here will not be difficult. In addition, the price of wooden finishing slats is high enough (from $ 2 for the temporon meter, depending on the type of wood and the manufacturer's country).
• In second place in popularity there is a PVC plinth. These planks are distinguished by a variety of sizes, shades, structures and models (not difficult to choose). The dimensions of plastic plastic vary vary from 14 to 40 mm, that is, they can be located close or further from the wall at the bottom of its point. In the height, the size of plastic slats reaches from 40 to 150 mm. In this case, the size of length, as a rule, do not change and make up 250 mm. The main advantages of PVC panels include their antistaticity, ease of installation and care, the ability to conceal the wires and cables in the room, as well as the ability to choose a shade of slats relative to doors, windows, shades of walls or flooring. In addition, the price of PVC panels is democratic and starts from $ 1 per meter.
• Plinth from aluminum - Pretty light design, intended for edging carpet, floor tiles or linoleum. Aluminum profile is thin (about 16 mm rail). At the same time, the size of the plinth height reach 60 or 80 mm. A distinctive feature of such panels is simplicity of their installation on liquid nails or double-sided assembly tape, as well as the ability to choose and bend the plinth without a subsequent arbitrary change of the geometry of the planks. That is, aluminum plinth is perfectly behaving when finishing rounded walls. The price of such a profile starts from $ 3.5 per meter of the tempo and depends on the manufacturer. PRIFILPAST is considered the most popular on the Russian market.

How to choose a plinth

If you wondered what color to buy plinth, then this material will be interesting to you. The fact is that today the habit of adhere to the combination of the color gamut of the floor covering and the plinth is moving into the background. The combination of finishing panels with window frames, an offset of doors or walls is increasingly dominated. Consider in detail all the options.

• So, if you have already chosen interroom doors and their color, well, you really liked, and the color gamut in the room is somewhat embarrassed from the overall picture, then you can escape by plinth. So it will be even better. By purchasing decorative strips of the same color as the doors, you are quite easy to integrate your favorite flaps in the overall interior. A vivid example of the blue wallpaper on the walls and red-haired interior doors. Here the color of the plinth will smoothly meet at the door with the cortex and create a harmonious contrast. Another example of such an introduction of the plinth and doors of white color on the background of dark wallpaper or paint on the wall in combination with dark parquet or laminate. Better and do not come up with.

Phto:

• If you choose panels from PVC, then, as a rule, manufacturers offer to combine it in color and texture pattern with laminate on the floor. This solution is beneficial in a large spacious room. If the room is small, then at least give preference to light shades of coating and planks. So you will be able to visually expand the room and make it higher.
• If desired, you can paint into one color and walls, and plinth. Here are the slats from the wood array under painting. Such a solution is original and perfectly fits into such interiors as modern, classic or high-tech. In addition, here you can play on contrast. In this case, the color of the plinth must be darker on the tone than the shade of the walls. It is excellent and even better if the ceiling eaves will be the same color as the plinth. Pick up the paint will help you in specialized stores.

Important: It is better to select paint from one series, but in accordance with the palette provided by the manufacturer. You need to choose once, but for sure.

Photos of plinths and walls of one shade:

• If the soul wants something unusual, then use the contrast. Here it is very good to combine the shade of window frames and plinth. At the same time, the color of the doors or an offset should be neutral, and the curtains should not hide the shade of window frames. Ideally, it is better to fit the color and shade of the doors. That is, both windows, and the panels should rush into the eye of the line of one shade.
• If there is a carved stucco in the room, it will be better if the color of the plinth and stucco will be identical. Thus, sharp boundaries are erased, and all protruding decorative elements are not striking.

Carved panels and plinth photos:

• When the panels are used as a wall material on half the wall, it is possible to use and plinth the same shade as a supplement. Thus, a single panel design can be created, which gives the room monolith. For greater "persuasiveness" of that de color, you can mount the eaves. Interesting and original. And the main thing is clearly defined by the geometry of the room.

Photo of the original panel solution:

• If there is a lot of metal in the design of the room, you can use aluminum plinth. A cold shade of panels will give the room a kind of prostration. Fortunately, the types of aluminum plinths allow you to choose to create a bright design.

Floor plinths for the interior are like a photo frame. They can either spoil everything, or harmoniously complete the interior design and even visually correct some disadvantages of the room. And, of course, the plinths are needed in order to mask the wires and places of the walls of the walls with the floor. We tell and show on the example of 50 photos, how to choose a plinth for the floor in color, shape and material.

Plastic plinth in the color of the laminate in the bedroom interior

Part 1. How to choose Plinth for Floor Floor

How to pick up the color of the plinth? Here are 5 principles using designers (a list sorted by descending the degree of popularity, click on the rule that interests you to immediately go to read, or just continue in order):

Such rules are also allowed:

• In the tone of any element of the interior (curtains, carpet, furniture, etc.)
• In the tone of the rest of the stucco elements in the room
• Plinth as an interior emphasis

Principle 1. Plinth for the floor to the tone of the door and / or door platbands

This is the first solution that comes to mind when choosing a base block for the floor. And it really works almost always regardless of what color elements are contrasting or neutral. Especially relevant this rule in case:

• Doors and / or door platbands contrast against the background of walls and interior as a whole and they need to be in harmonious to enter into space;
• Flooring, doors and plinths are already chosen, but the plinths are not combined with the doors. The problem is solved like this: only door platbands are chosen in the tone of the plinths.

By the way, about door platbands. We hurry to make a little refinement:

Flooring plinths must match the color with the door platbands, but with the doors themselves - it is not necessary. For example, the door can be bright, and plinths and platbands are neutral, say, white or in the tone of the walls.

Here is a couple of photos of outdoor baseboards in the color of the door in the interior.

Design Tip:

• The most traditional solution that never anniversary and fits almost any interior: doors, platbands and white plinths. Below is a small selection of photos of white plinths in the interior.

White floor plinths, platbands and doors - a universal and win-win solution that always adds space lightness and, at the same time, engraves it. Contrary to mutual myths, it is also very practical.

Principle 2. Plinths in the color of the floor

Another obvious principle of blocking the plinth is in the color of the floor. In theory, such a solution seems simple, but in practice you can face two problems:

Problem 1. It is difficult to choose a plinth in the color of the floor with a 100% coincidence. Despite the fact that even a small varnotone is obtained noticeable, somewhat disrupting the overall harmony of the interior.

Solution: It is best to choose a plinth and floor covering from one manufacturer's collection. Thus, pick up the plinth to the laminate, linoleum, ceramic tiles or cork floor will be very easy.

PVC-Plinth in the color of laminate in the kitchen

Problem 2: How to dock the plinth in the color of the floor with doors and platforms of another color, especially if they are already installed?

Solution: If the shades of the doors, gender and plinths are similar or simply well combined (see the photo below), then the situation is quite acceptable. And if not, you can save the position by painting / picking into the tone of the plinths and the floor only platbands. If the door is completely knocked out of the interior, it needs to be supported by adding furniture or decor of the same tone.

Here is another small selection of photos of plinths in the color of the laminate in the interior.

Principle 3. Plinth in the color of the walls

Cool solution if:

• If a the room has low ceilings , then plinths, painted / selected in the tone of the walls, will visually make them higher. So this technique is often used in the design of low apartments in Khrushchev (in the photo) and other panel houses.

• If you want to create an ultra-modern or minimalist interior, "invisible" plinths will not once again crush the space.

• If there are different colors in the walls, then the plinths selected to them will emphasize the effect of the color.

• Wallpaper will look even more spectacular if the floor edging will have the color of a pattern of a pattern.

But then, then be with door platnis and ceiling plinths? They can be universal white color, painted / selected also in the tone of the walls, repeat any color already available in the interior (for example, the color of the floor, curtain, etc.).

Design Tip: If you are ready for bold solutions, then you can paint the color of the walls not only plinths, but also door platbands, doors and ... Furniture.

Principle 4. Plinths on tone of darker walls

This techniques are not suitable, but is suitable even for the most classic and traditional interiors. It is good in that it can emphasize the interesting color of the walls, to create an illusion of higher ceilings, alleviate the space overloaded with contrasts and color.

Design Tip: If you paint the ceiling eaves in the tone of plinths for floors, the interior will be doubly spectacular.

Principle 5. Plinths in the tone of window frames / slopes

If the window frames have any expressive or contrasting color to the interior, the floor edging can support them.

Design Tip: It is logical to complete the picture by selecting the tone of plinths and window frames also doors with platbands.

Part 2. How to choose a plinth by type and material

Now let's talk about the practical side of the issue. Which plinth is better to choose? The main thing is to determine what is the material. Here are the main options:

• Polyurethane;
• Array of wood;
• Bung;

  Price for the temporon meter: from 35 rubles.

  Options: flexible (soft), with cable-channel, self-adhesive, with rubberized top edge.

  Designs: under the tree (about 30 shades) with matte finishes and laminated.

  Installation: adhesive method or with self-tapping screws (secret mount).

  pros	Minuses
  The lowest price	Simple and ordinary look. Create a design interior with plastic plinths will not work
  Not afraid of high humidity, so they can also be used in kitchens, and in bathrooms, on verandah	Over time, can move away from the wall. The weak point of plastic plinths - in the outer corners.
  Wear-resistant	It is not always possible to find the plinth of the desired shade and with a suitable pattern.
  You can pick up with laminate from the manufacturer's collection	Can appear dents and scratches, especially they are visible on dark pillows
  Installation and disassembly, fitting and trimming are very easy	Corners of plastic plinths never coincide in the drawing and tone with 100% plinths themselves
  Thanks to the cheapness, plastic plinth can be easily changed as needed.
  Due to the fact that PVC plinth inside is hollow, it can hide not alone, but at once a few wires

  

  • If the walls are not perfectly smooth, you should choose plinths with a rubberized edge. They are easier to achieve a dense adjustment to the wall;
  • PVC plinths preferably buy together with laminate;
  • If high white plinths fit into the budget, pay attention to high PVC plinths as in the photo below (sold in construction hypermarkets);
  • Buying PVC plinths, make sure all products are released from one party. The fact is that due to the peculiarities of production, the same plinths from different parties are always slightly different by tone. It can be unnoticed in the store, but in the edging of the floor the difference will be visible.

Plinth for the floor is selected after flooring flooring, because It closes the bog between the floor and the wall. When choosing, pay attention to the two components - material and color. Of great importance is the palette in which the entire room is decorated.

Array - Exquisite classic in the interior

More and more consumer recognition conquer ultra-modern materials. At the same time, the classic tree does not lose its popularity. Of all the types of fnethoods for the floor, this is the most expensive. It is bought to parquet or coating from the board.

Inexpensive and moisture-resistant pine is taken as the basis - it is used as a set array. The bar is made up of small segments, fastened and glued together on the principle of lightning. From above, a thin veneer is glued, which is applied bioprotection.

Metal - reliably and durable

High-quality metal plinths appeared on the market recently - this is the result of the development of modern technologies. The decorative element is made of steel, brass or aluminum.

All variety of plinths on store shelves is made from artificial or natural materials:

• natural whole tree;

• bung.

In order to determine what material to choose a plinth, remember from which the floors are made in the room:

• with a flooring of a natural tree - laminate, array boards, parquet boards - combined wooden plinth from the same breed, veneered models of a similar shade and texture;
• together with rolled, tiled or liquid linoleum, carpet, laminate, outdoor PVC plinths are perfectly looking at the laminate, and plastic strips are used for edging complex structures, as a special production technology allows them to make flexible and bent;

At this time, you can choose a model with a channel for a cable from any material, even for fnethoods from a natural tree.

Pros and cons of the most common plinths

1) Wooden plinth is made of solid array of coniferous, deciduous trees or more exotic species. His positive properties:

• long service time;
• the possibility of recovery, if necessary, the initial appearance;
• naturalness;
• easy fit under the desired size.

By minuses include:

• fast damage in high humidity conditions;
• styling only on flawlessly smooth surfaces;
• attaching with self-samples, which for non-specialists can be problematic.

Despite the seeming difficulties and disadvantages of wooden floor plinths, the acquisition of these environmentally friendly panels completely justifies their high cost.

2) Not inferior in ecology and appearance with wooden panels veneered plinth, but the price has much lower and is easier attached. In the production of such plinths, inexpensive wood is used for the base, most often it is pine, which is revealed from above the thin layer of more valuable timber. The main disadvantage, as in the plinths of the array, is susceptibility to moisture and sharp change of temperatures, which limits the use of veneered panels in the presence of warm floors in the room.

3) MDF and laminated plinths, possessing such advantages, made of medium density plates.

• cheapness;
• the ability to preserve color and pattern even when exposed to sunlight;
• ease of attaching with liquid nails, glue or using specially installed brackets;
• ease of care;
• resistance to damage to the surface layer (scratches, unsiler, etc.) due to special impregnations;
• a large number of different shades suitable for the interior of any style.

Of the disadvantages - fear of moisture and a small strength, in comparison with previous models.

4) Plastic floor panels have a lot of advantages, the main of which is their economy. To others can be attributed to:

• easy mount;
  • the ability to hide the wires;
  • installation on nonideal walls;
  • a wide variety of colors, shapes, sizes;
  • resistance to pollution, high humidity, rotting, rust.

The appearance of such a plinth will be pretty simple that it is necessary to take into account if there is elite coatings on the floor in the room.

5) Floor ceramic plinths usually come complete with tiles and are characterized by properties inherent in any ceramics:

• strength;
• vapor permeability - provides ventilation indoors;
• water absorption;
• resistance to moisture;
• ease in purification;
• non-toxicity;
• durability;
• fire safety;
• resistance color.

Coloring can be tone to the main background and the pattern of the tile, or contrast with it, which is typical for the premises of bold, modern styles.

6) Metals used for the production of plinths are usually aluminum, stainless steel, brass. Products from these materials:

• very durable;
• durable;
• wear-resistant;
• fireproof;
• moisture resistant;
• impregnated with antimicrobial compositions.

The metal panels look quite peculiar and are often used in rooms decorated under High-tech.

7) Natural cork tree is used both for the manufacture of floors and the accompanying plinths. Coloring is usually natural, more or less dark. The view of such outdoor panels, like cork flooring, have very rich and luxurious. The price fully corresponds to appearance.

How to successfully choose coloring and plinth size

Plinth color selection options:

• one tone with floor - the standard rule, trust him if the style of the room is close to the classic;
• under the color of homogeneous painted walls - will allow not only to give the room sophistication, but also visually increase the height of the ceilings;
• one color and size with edging doors;
• bright, unusual shades, combined with color spots in the interior - the idea for the most brave;
• snow white - chic and elegance room.

Standard plinth width is 4-7 cm. The plinth height should not be too large in small rooms, and vice versa. Visually to extend the wall and increase the ceiling at the eye under the power of thin plinths of one coloring with wall coatings.

In spacious premises, this option will look ridiculous, it is better to choose a plinth wide or medium sized, which is highlighted in color. Want a little rigor to the room - add the shipping plinth of the same color as outdoor.

Several practical councils

1. The desired plinth length is determined by measuring the perimeter of the entire room minus the width of the doorway. This value is divided by 2.5 (the size of the standard strip) and the number of planks that must be purchased are obtained.
2. The number of angular, connecting elements and plugs depends on the number of angles, planks and doors indoors. One door is required on one left and right end stub.

• the smell of the plinth should not be sharp and unpleasant;
• the color of the plank of the plinth must coincide with the color of all additional parts;
• it is desirable that the party's rooms on packages with plinths coincide;
• plugs, connecting elements, corners must be fitted tightly to the planks, without cracks and gaps.

It is better if the plinth and all the necessary items you will acquire in a large store, so with a greater probability the color scheme and the size of the products coincides.

Choosing a plinth, it is better to measure seven times and do not take plenty of funds, but then you can enjoy the result every day.

Think how to choose the floor plinth for the floor? We are tired of shopping and argue with your second half, what to close this hole between the floor and the wall, from where the concrete and the substrate for laminate looks out? I understand you perfectly, I recently encountered it. And like Altruist want, tell me how I did the choice, dedicate, so to speak, in all the subtleties of the process. And absolutely free, as the wise owl said from the cartoon.

Flour of choice

In the photo - I am during the choice of plinth.

As my experience shows - every repairs, no matter how much money you throw into it and, as it were, carefully planned, does not go on a predetermined plan. But sooner or later, the plinth will still have to put. Otherwise, your wife will repent you in half, referring to the "aesthetic incompleteness of the favorite spallen"

Therefore, you should not underestimate the importance of the correct selection of the floor baseline. It is this area (plastic bag or a piece of ceramics), according to the majority, testifies to the end of repair.

And they are right. The right choice of plinth can radically change the appearance of the room, emphasize all its advantages, as well as strengthen the impressions of the repair.

Let's start with how to choose the color of the floor plinth. And the rest, less important (from the point of view of his wife), the parameters will determine in the course of the presentation.

Color

Probably, you have already read on the Internet or magazine about the repair that the color of the plinth should be selected into the tone of the flooring. I saw a pretty designer solution when the color of the plinth was a little lighter or darker, but it did not stand out visually, but it is not necessary to perceive them as a dogma.

Many designers (not Patricia Urikola, of course, but still) advise to pick up the color of the plinth under the tone of the color of the wall decoration. In my opinion, such an innovative solution is quite justified. But if your walls are sealed with little funny wallpaper in the flower, then what?

Other "Superpets" propose to pick up the plinth of the same color as intricant doors. And how to choose the color of the base unit for the floor, if the doors are painted with paint "Eye"? Personally, I will say that this option is more or less acceptable, only with wooden doors. And then, the thickness of the plinth must coincide with the thickbar thicknesses. And you did not think about it in advance, isn't it?

I met and with one option of the selection of the plinth - this is when it is chosen directly under the color of the interior details. As, in my opinion, this is a deep amateur and extravagant approach, but still having the right to exist. I will not envy you when you decide to change the furniture in the room. What then, shake the plinth and sharpen it again?

The taste and color of all markers are different, so there will be no long time about the color. I can only note that I, before choosing a floor plinth in color, drew the interior of the future room in a special computer program. And you know what I found? Best of all in our family bedroom looks white plinth.

It turned out a chic option, but once again I would note that such a decision is not suitable for everyone. Think, dare.

And the best thing to look at the cartoon "Tom and Jerry". There often show the entrance to Noura Jerry. And you can learn a lot of innovative ideas. You exactly learn how to choose the color of the floor plinth.

All the rest

Color is, of course, well.

But when choosing a suitable option, I would advise you to pay attention for another moment:

• the magnitude of the Cars' chamber, where you do repair;
• the material of the floor covering, according to which the host is steps.

So, the choice of plinth on the color is made, now you need to decide what to choose an outdoor plinth in size (width). This parameter directly depends on the bedroom area (in my case). I will say that the size of the plinth is directly affected by the height of the ceilings and color decoration. The length and width of the walls is not such an important parameter.

For large and bright apartments (by owner of one of them I am), I recommend using wide plinth, which is better to produce to the wall. They must be either imperceptible, or be contrasting with respect to the chosen color solution for the room.

If the room where you live, you can not be called great, and on top of the scalp gives a scalding ceiling, it is better to use thin plinths. That is how it will be possible to achieve the effect of visual stretching of the room in height. Although basketball players will help this little: there is a lot of visually space, and a temmer clings to the chandelier. But this does not have a relationship to plinths.

For the rooms of the midline, it is better to use, guess, plinth, which can be attributed to the category "Golden Middle". Not in the sense that in them inside gold is stubborn, but in the sense of sizes: approximately 4.5 to 7 cm.

Type of coating

As you already, probably, you know (after all, experts among us exactly as much as readers from this opus), the choice of material that was used for the manufacture of a plinth, directly depends on the type of floor covering.

The board of an array, parquet or parquet board, high-quality laminate will look good with wood plinths. If you saved on the laminate, then it is better to buy inexpensive veneered wooden plinths or MDF products.

In the case when a ceramic tile is used as an outdoor coating, an excellent solution will be the edging of plastic plates or ceramics by plinths.

For floor covered with carpet, laminate or linoleum, it is recommended to buy plinth from MDF and PVC.

If you are a meticulous and head person, you have an analogue of Wikipedia, then I collected all the significant characteristics of the plinths of their different materials in a brief form. After reading everything to the end, you can shut up for the belt of any consultant in the construction supermarket.

Classification and characteristics of species of plinths

1. Wooden plinth.

Such plinning rails have numerous advantages.

Important personally for me are:

• the naturalness of the material;
• environmental friendliness;
• ease of processing.

The harness is that wood has increased sensitivity to moisture, and therefore it is not recommended to use wooden plinth in rooms with high humidity. That is, for family felling, they will suit, but in the bathroom and the toilet is better not to install them.

If you decide to buy such plinths, pay attention to the tree of the tree, from which they are made. And then buy the plinth from the moraine oak or the Siberian larch, and will be a box with a gun so that no one scratched them (remember the Jerry mouse?). After all, the price of such a plinth rail.

If the purchase of floors from the wood massif, the parquet board was performed in a private company, I recommend ordering a plinth there. So they will coincide in both the color and texture, and the quality of the finish. Yes, and claims to make sure that it will be necessary at the same place.

1. Sleeping plinth. If you have already started repair, then, probably, the edge of the ear heard that Veneer is also like a tree. Why did I singlets the plinth from the veneer to a separate group?

The bottom line is that here you get a beautiful appearance, but not very good quality.

The base of the plinth is made of pine or ate (there are many of them), and the surface is decorated (veneered) more expensive woody rocks:

• oak;
• nut;
• pear and others.

It turns out beautiful, and what inside - knows only Jerry. But he will not say, because money saved during the purchase you buy him some cheese.

1. Plinth from MDF..
   The plinth of this kind is perfectly suitable for use with flooring from such materials:

• laminate;
• linoleum;
• carpet.

Such plinths are particularly harmonious, when the walls of the room are also decorated with MDF panels.

The plinning rails themselves are made of pre-pressed wood fibers with special additives and additives. Of the advantages of this type of plinth, I want to distinguish their strength and the fact that they are absolutely not fused when exposed to direct sunlight and are perfectly transferred moisture.

1. Plastic plinth. I immediately notice that in the manufacture of such plinths used PVC, so if you are for a healthy lifestyle - be, as they say, alent.

These plinths are very common and are often used to repair.

In principle, they have a lot of advantages:

• low price;
• practicality
• variety of various forms, color solutions;
• moisture resistance;
• the incomplete processes of rotting;
• increased anti-corrosion properties.

Well, the most important thing - in the manufacture of plinths from PVC, no tree suffers. He himself did not check, but they say so.

1. Ceramic plinth. When I made repairs in the bathroom and a toilet a few years ago, no one else knew about any ceramic plinths. The edging near the floor covering from ceramics was made of the same sizes cut into pieces. Then there were craftsmen who could make the edge of the slice smooth and aesthetic.

Modern tilers (not all, immediately say) hands, of course, gold, but inserted not in the end and not there. Special for them came up with ceramic plinths that come with a tile. Of course, for surcharge, and not like crackers to beer - free.

Minuses here I do not see. The plinth is ideal for the dimensions of the ceramic tile, and, of course, exactly coincides with its pattern. Optionally, you can use the package of another coloring to the set of ceramic tiles. And make such a cheerful contrast that will delight you in the bathroom.

Interestingly in this plinth, that it has a concave shape of the type of hemisphere, which, in my opinion, looks so beautiful and modern that I would have taken advantage of them. Probably, a wife will soon force reworked repairs in the bathroom, so I will not show her essay about the plinths. Or even remove this piece?

In general, I'm tired of sitting at the computer. You need to go to attach purchased plinths.

I did not spoke about all the types of floor plinths, which can be easily purchased today in the store. Yes, it was the goal of my story. The main thing is that you can choose the plinth right and not disappointed in this acquisition.

Yes, I almost forgot, this story is not an instruction that needs to be strictly observed, but simply personal experience confirmed by many years of practice.

With your own hands, attach the plinth on the "liquid nails".
Then they are no longer removed (well, suddenly his wife or jerry will not like your choice).

If you are a risky guy, buy special fixing clips. Using hooks and brackets, you can easily disassemble the plinths and proceed to reading this article again. And who does not like to read, watch the video in this article.
