How To Make An Outside Corner With Vinyl Coving Base begins with preparing the outside corner. Hold the cove base up against the corner and mark it with an indelible marker or sharp pencil. Fold the cove base so that the outside face is against itself. The center of the fold should be marked with a pencil. Repeat for the opposite side of the corner. Now you are ready to install the outside corner.
Pre-formed corners are available in 70 colors
The Roppe 700 Series pre-formed outside corners are compatible with the vinyl cove base installation and are available in a range of colors. In addition, Roppe standard pre-formed corners are available in the complete 70 color range, at a Single Price Point. This versatility makes Roppe standard corners an ideal choice for any home project. And, with no minimum order size, you can order as many as you need for each corner in your space.
While you can order vinyl cove base moldings in any color, most producers offer a standard color range for contract use. While some designers may choose to match the color of their vinyl cove base to the wall paint, it is more common to choose the same color as the metal door frame. For example, Allstate offers 55 different colors, including seven whites and three blacks, as well as a variety of different colors for matching metal door frames. Vinyl cove base moldings are available in heights from four inches to six inches.
Order cove base corners with a toe if the rest of the base will have a toe
When using cove base corner pieces, make sure you order the corner pieces with a toe if the rest will have one. This option eliminates the need for separate molded corner pieces. You can also order these with a continuous wall section to eliminate the need to weld the upper portion and cut an outside corner at a 45 degree angle.
The integral wall base and flash cove 400 comprises a wall base portion 102 and an elongated toe 404. The wall portion 102 is installed substantially perpendicular to the floor part 404. The toe 404 is double-cut to complete the corner. These cove corner pieces are available with or without a toe.
When ordering cove base corner pieces, ensure the toe is in the desired position. Otherwise, you may need to order additional base corners if the rest of the base will have a toe. If ordering cove base corners with a toe, order the remaining corner pieces without the toe. The cove base corner piece has a toe on the bottom side, but the rest of the base is square.
A toe is a notch on the bottom of an integral wall base. It defines the void between the toe and the wall. A cut with a utility knife or straight edge will be needed. It is also important to make sure that the cut does not cut the toe portion of the cove. If the base will have a toe, the toe portion of the integral wall base should also have a toe as well.
Order vinyl cove base corners with a V-plug if the rest of the base will have a V-plug
The first step in applying a vinyl cove plug is to make sure that the corner has a center line on the back of the material. Once this has been determined, place the measuring strip at the corner and mark the point where the V-plug will be. Now apply the proper adhesive and press the plug into place. Once this step is complete, the vinyl cove corner can be installed.
The second step is to make sure that the material is level. If the cove is going to be on a concrete wall, you need to check for moisture and temperature. If the floor is made of a wood floor, you need to cover the wooden substrate with a suitable panel underlayment. Make sure that the underlayment is made specifically for the floor covering installation. Do not use OSB (Oriented Strand Board) as the underlayment.
If you’re not sure whether the vinyl cove base corners will have a V-plug, check the rest of the base’s perimeter and order the corner strips accordingly. You may be able to use your original measuring sheet to ensure that you’re getting the right size. If you’re not sure whether the dimensions of your existing pool are accurate, contact your local city or district office to find out if they have a website for this purpose.
The final step in installing a vinyl cove base is to attach the cap strip to the wall. You can use flathead nails or contact adhesive to attach the cap strip. When it is attached, make sure that it is flush with the tops of the corner pieces and the end stops. Make sure that the plaster or wallboard is level, smooth and free of imperfections before applying the flashing. Make sure that you follow the instructions carefully, too.
If you plan on installing a vinyl cove base in your pool, you should order the corners with a V-plug unless the rest of the base will have a regular plug. This will help you to install the cove base properly. You can also check if the corner is too tight by leaning over the pool and pushing the vinyl section toward the wall.
Order vinyl cove base corners with a toe if the rest of the base will have a toe
When ordering vinyl cove base moldings, it is important to order vinyl cove base corners that match the profile of the rest of the vinyl base. The toe of the base will match the profile of the cove base corners. If the base will have a toe, order the vinyl cove base corners with a toe. Otherwise, order cove base corners without a toe.
When ordering vinyl cove bases, the manufacturer will tell you the gauge and color required for each one. Most producers carry a selection of colors and have minimum order requirements. Many designers will choose a color that matches the metal door frame or wall paint. Most manufacturers offer 55 different colors to choose from, including seven whites and three blacks.
When cutting the vinyl baseboards, make sure that you score the vinyl at the inside and outside corners and cut along the line. Once cut, use the V-notched trowel to apply adhesive and press the baseboard into the corner. To install vinyl baseboards correctly, the baseboards must be at 65 degrees. During the installation, the room temperature must be 65 degrees and a hair dryer can help you get a smooth surface.
If the rest of the base will have a flat bottom, you can order vinyl cove base corners with a toad if you intend to install tile over it. This will simplify your installation. The vinyl baseboard corners are 4″ tall and 1′ long. The manufacturer offers 36 popular colors and no minimum order size. So, whether your installation project involves installing carpet or tile, it will be easy to install a vinyl cove base.
