Minileiste - (silver) - Minimalist skirting profile plinth SL16X5-01

Currently the highest available plinth model in the Minileiste® range has a height of 2 cm (wall coverage) and a depth of 16 mm (floor coverage). This model provides a minimalist and elegant finish.

Minileiste® skirting boards can be installed in two ways, depending on the type of floor:

• The clips are inserted into the dedicated mounting guide in the skirting board.
• One skirting board 200 cm long requires 1 set of clips (5 pieces), which should be placed every 30-50 cm.
• In places where the skirting board needs to be cut or where we have shorter sections, it is recommended to use additional clips for better hold.
• The skirting board with clips is turned over and placed against the wall, then using an installation tool, spread the clip and press the skirting board from above, inserting it into the gap between the wall and the floor.

2. Mounting with adhesive strips (for floors under 5 mm thick):

• The skirting board is glued using dedicated self-adhesive strips.
• For one 200 cm long strip, you need 1 set of mounting strips (6 pieces).
• We start the installation only after the strip is precisely cut and fitted, because the glue is very strong and the strip cannot be removed without damaging it.
• In the case of uneven walls or connecting short sections, you can use additional strips with glue.

A video is available for full assembly instructions: Watch here.

Minileiste® strips do not have connectors or dedicated corners. The strips are joined by placing one strip against the other, which allows for a gap-free connection.

In the corners, simply cut the strips at the right angle to achieve a perfect fit. For this task, we recommend using a miter saw with an aluminum cutting disc, which ensures precise cutting.

Thanks to this solution, the strip joints are practically invisible.

No, Minileiste® strips are not coloured in the mass. The white strips are powder coated in RAL 9016, and the anthracite strips in RAL 7016. The other colours, such as black, gold, silver and titanium, are anodised.

In cross-section, each strip, regardless of colour, will have the colour of raw aluminium, which may be visible after cutting.

To attach one strip, you need 1 set of mounting strips, which contains 6 strips. The strips should be evenly distributed so that the strip adheres well to the floor.

It is worth remembering that the strips are installed only at the end, after the strips have been carefully cut and adjusted. This is important because the glue is very strong, and any attempt to peel off the strip may damage it.

If you have uneven walls or you are installing shorter lengths of strips, it is worth using more strips to ensure solid adhesion.

Also remember that the strips with glue must be purchased separately.

To properly attach one strip, you need 1 set of mounting clips, which means 5 clips. The clips should be spaced 30-50 cm apart, which will ensure that the strip is securely and permanently attached.

If you have a wall that is not perfectly straight, or you are connecting shorter pieces of strips, it is worth considering using more clips. This will make the strip fit better and attach more securely.

Important information: the clips are not included with the strip, so they must be purchased separately.

Minileiste® strips are not sold with fasteners. Both mounting clips and adhesive strips must be purchased separately.

• For clip mounting: 1 set of mounting clips (5 pieces) is required for one 200 cm strip.
• For adhesive strip mounting: 1 set of mounting strips (6 pieces) is required for one 200 cm strip.

Each room may require a different amount of fasteners, so they are sold separately to allow for individual adjustment to your needs.

Yes, after cutting both black and white strips, the cross-section of aluminum is visible in its natural, raw color.

However, it should be remembered that when the strips are cut evenly and carefully in the corners, as well as when the strips are joined, the joints are practically invisible.

To hide the visible aluminum cross-section after cutting the strip, you can paint it with car body paint, available at most automotive stores. Such paints are available in many colors, so you can choose the right shade to perfectly match the color of the strip.

This is a quick and effective way to achieve an aesthetic look and eliminate the visible raw cross-section.

The Minileiste® strip can partially protect the wall, but the main protection is provided by washable and scrubbable paints, which are commonly used today. However, if this is not enough, special base profiles are available that overlap the wall and provide additional protection.

The SL16 profile with a height of 2 cm is an excellent solution. It effectively protects the wall from dirt from flat or steam mops such as Vileda and classic vacuum cleaners such as Karcher or some cleaning robots.

In the case of flat strips, it is recommended to paint the wall with a paint resistant to cleaning before installation, so that any dirt can be easily removed if necessary.

Yes, in most cases modern cleaning robots can handle Minileiste® strips without any problems. However, it is worth checking the instructions for your vacuum cleaner model to make sure that the strip will not affect its operation.

For additional protection against dirt, it is recommended to paint the wall with a washable paint or use a sealer before installing the strips to make it easier to remove dirt later.

Yes, Minileiste® skirting boards are suitable for outdoor use. The skirting boards are made of aluminium and have a weather-resistant finish:

• The white and anthracite skirting boards are powder-coated, which makes them durable and resistant.
• The other colours, such as black, gold, silver and titanium, are anodised, which additionally protects them from moisture and temperature changes.

Thanks to these properties, the skirting boards are suitable for both outdoor use and for use in rooms with high humidity, such as bathrooms.

In the case of crooked or uneven walls, we recommend a few steps to help you achieve the best results when installing Minileiste® strips:

• Preparing the walls: The best results will be achieved when the walls are smooth and straight. If the wall is uneven, it is worth leveling it before installation so that the strips fit perfectly.
• More clips: In places where the wall has linear deviations, more mounting clips can be used (if you are using the clip system). This will help to better fit the strip to the wall surface.
• Strip deviations: The strips have some flexibility - they can deform linearly by about +- 4 cm over a distance of 200 cm. Thanks to this, they are able to adapt to minor irregularities in the wall.
• Using black strips: In the case of walls with large and short undulations, we recommend using black strips, because the light and shade on such a surface will be less visible. You can also fill the gaps with acrylic, similarly to traditional MDF strips.
• Avoid white strips: White strips can highlight imperfections in the wall or floor, so if there are obvious imperfections, consider darker colours.

Yes, Minileiste® strips are scratch-resistant and do not change colour when in contact with a mop or mild cleaning agents. Thanks to their durable surface, they are perfect for intensively used rooms, as confirmed by their class 33 DIN (intensive use).

However, it is worth remembering that like any material, they can be damaged or scratched when in contact with a sharp and hard tool.

Yes, Minileiste® strips can be glued, but this depends on the type of floor and the space available:

1. Floors less than 5 mm thick: The strips are attached using dedicated adhesive strips. This solution is ideal if there is no space to use mounting clips.
2. If the adhesive strips are not enough: You can also use general construction glue, such as Tytan or Mamut, to glue the strips directly to the subfloor. Remember, however, that once the glue is applied, the strip cannot be removed, which makes this solution more durable and less flexible.

This solution works great with floors such as microcement, vinyl or tiles.

Minileiste® strips are very versatile and can be used on many types of floors, such as:

1. Boards and parquets - ideal for wooden floors, as they provide an aesthetic finish.
2. Tiles and stoneware - go well with hard surfaces, offering a durable connection.
3. Vinyl panels - dedicated vinyl strips can be mounted both with clips and adhesive strips, depending on the thickness of the panels (e.g. for 2 mm panels, an adhesive system is used).
4. Microcement - for microcement floors, if they are less than 5 mm thick, strips attached with adhesive strips are used. For floors higher than 5 mm, a clip system can be used, with an appropriate expansion gap from the wall.
5. Floating floors - for floating floors, strips are attached with clips, and for better hold, 1-2 dots of silicone should be added.
6. Polished concrete – they can also be used on concrete, but it is worth using a 5 mm screed stop in front of the wall first to ensure adequate space for installing the strips.

Yes, Minileiste® strips are perfect for vinyl planks, including 2mm thick planks and linoleum flooring.

Here's how to fit strips to vinyl planks:

• Planks less than 5mm thick: We recommend installing strips with adhesive, as this is the best method for thin vinyl floors.
• Planks over 5mm thick: In this case, we suggest using the clip system, which is non-invasive and allows you to remove and reuse the strips.

This flexible solution works with many types of vinyl floors.

Yes, Minileiste® strips are suitable for floating floors. For this type of floor, it is best to use a clip-on installation system, which allows the strips to freely adjust to the movements of the floor and ensures their detachability.

Additionally, to improve the stability of the installation, it is recommended to add 1-2 dots of silicone to the clips. This will make the strip adhere better and hold the wall more firmly, which is especially important in the case of floating floors.

Yes, Minileiste® strips are suitable for microcement floors, but the method of installation depends on the thickness of the floor:

1. Microcement floors over 5 mm thick: In this case, you can use the clip-on installation system, which allows for non-invasive attachment of the strips. However, it is worth using a screed limiting profile that will create an appropriate expansion gap between the floor and the wall (5-7 mm or 5-13 mm, depending on the strip model).
2. Microcement floors under 5 mm thick: It is recommended to install the strips on adhesive strips, which allows for a solid attachment of the strips, especially when the floor is not thick enough to use clips.

Thanks to this solution, the strips will be perfectly matched to the microcement floor.

Yes, Minileiste® strips are suitable for ceramic tile floors. Depending on the conditions, you have two installation options:

1. Clip system: If the tile floor has the right expansion joint and is over 5 mm thick, the ideal solution is to install the strips with clips. This is a non-invasive method that allows for easy removal and reuse of the strips.
2. Adhesive system: If there is no proper expansion joint between the floor and the wall, it is recommended to install the strips with adhesive strips, which ensures solid adhesion to the tile surface.

This flexible solution will work well with different configurations of ceramic tiles.

Minileiste® skirting boards are best cut using the right tools to achieve a precise and aesthetic finish:

1. A mitre saw with an aluminium cutting disc – This is the most commonly recommended tool. A mitre saw provides a precise and even cut, which is especially important when fitting skirting boards in corners.
2. An angle grinder with a metal disc – This is an alternative that can be used, but it is worth remembering that a mitre saw gives a more precise result.

In corners, simply cut the skirting boards at the right angle to achieve a perfect fit.

A mitre saw with an aluminium disc is the standard tool used by companies that install flooring and skirting boards, so you can be sure that this is the best solution.

Yes, the floor should be at the same level so that the connecting strip is fixed firmly and looks aesthetically pleasing. Minileiste® strips do not have height adjustment, so differences in the level between the surfaces can affect their correct fixing and the final appearance.

For the best effect, the height of the connecting floors should be similar, which will ensure that the strip fits perfectly.

Yes, Minileiste® strips are suitable for finishing HST and PSK windows. Thanks to their minimalist design, they can also be successfully used for balcony doors, terrace windows and even hidden doors.

For a perfect match, it is worth ordering a sample available on the website to choose the best strip profile for a specific project.

Yes, Minileiste® strips can be painted, which allows them to be adapted to individual design needs. To achieve the best effect, it is worth choosing the right paint that will be compatible with the strip material.

It is best to start with a silver strip, and then choose a powder coating paint or another paint designed for aluminum, which will ensure durability and aesthetic appearance.

No, Minileiste® strips are only sold in 200 cm lengths for self-cutting on site. The strips are not available in shorter or longer lengths. If necessary, you can cut the strips yourself using suitable tools, such as a mitre saw with an aluminium cutting disc.

No, all Minileiste® strips are only available in 200 cm lengths. There are no shorter or longer lengths available. If you require a different length, you will need to cut the strips to size yourself using suitable tools, such as a mitre saw with an aluminium cutting disc.

No, unfortunately we do not offer an assembly service. We only sell products, but the installation of Minileiste® skirting boards is so simple that any team specializing in flooring or installing traditional skirting boards (e.g. MDF) in your area should be able to install them without any problems.

Yes, an installation tool is essential for the correct installation of Minileiste® strips. In particular, it is needed to secure the mounting clips to the floor and precisely insert the strip into the gap between the wall and the floor.

If you do not have a specialist installation tool, you can use an angle, which will also allow for precise attachment of the clips.

Yes, installing Minileiste® skirting boards is very simple and does not require advanced skills. Here is a short guide on how to do it:

1. Cutting the skirting board: First, cut the skirting board to the right length according to the dimensions of the room.
2. Mounting the clips (if you are using a clip-on system): Insert the appropriate number of mounting clips into the dedicated slot of the skirting board. One skirting board requires a set of mounting clips (5 pieces), spaced every 30-50 cm.
3. Mounting the skirting board: After inserting the clips, you slide the skirting board against the wall and use an installation tool (or angle) to spread the clips so that the skirting board is firmly attached between the floor and the wall.

It is a really easy process that can be done without specialist tools.

When the Minileiste® skirting board ends at a hidden door, there are a few steps to take to ensure an aesthetic and functional finish:

• Cutting the skirting board: Precisely cut the skirting board to the required length so that it fits perfectly into the space by the door.
• Using the right profile: It is a good idea to use a profile that will fit into the gap at the hidden door. We recommend ordering a sample from our offer to choose the best profile model for your needs.
• Visible aluminium cross-section: Please note that once the skirting board is finished, the aluminium cross-section (in silver) will be visible. This cross-section can be painted over with car body paint to hide the raw colour of the aluminium.

Minileiste® skirting boards are a premium product, and their price is due to several key factors that distinguish them from other skirting boards:

• High quality materials: The skirting boards are made of aluminum, which makes them durable, lightweight, waterproof and resistant to damage. This material does not change color or rust, which translates into a long product life.
• Advanced production technology: The production of Minileiste® skirting boards requires high precision. Only a few mills in the world are able to produce such thin profiles with a thickness of 1 mm, which allows for a unique, minimalist design.
• Hassle-free installation: The clip-on skirting boards allow for non-invasive and removable installation, which is convenient during renovations - they can be dismantled and reused. This is a unique feature that distinguishes these skirting boards on the market.
• Design and aesthetics: Minileiste® skirting boards are characterized by a minimalist look and high aesthetics, which makes them ideal for people looking for an elegant interior finish.

These features make the strips a unique and long-lasting solution, which justifies their price.

Yes, Minileiste® strips can be used on stairs, but there are a few factors to consider:

• Individual fit: Each staircase can have a different design and gap, so the installation of the strips will depend on the specifics of the stairs. It is important to make sure that the strip is properly fitted to the edge of the steps.
• Material durability: Minileiste® strips made of aluminium are resistant to scratches and mechanical damage, making them a good choice for stairs that are exposed to heavy use.
• Consultation with an expert: In the case of unusual staircases, such as spiral or with a complex structure, it is worth consulting a fitter to choose the best solution.

If you have any doubts about the installation on your stairs, you can write to us - we will be happy to advise.

Minileiste® strips are made of aluminium, so they are not flexible in the traditional sense, like plastic strips. However, they have a linear deviation of around +- 4 cm over a distance of 200 cm, which means that they can gently adapt to minor wall irregularities.
Nevertheless, in the case of large wall irregularities, we recommend levelling them beforehand or using additional mounting clips to achieve a better fit of the strip.

Minileiste® slats are packed with great care to ensure their complete safety during transport. Here are the details of how we protect the slats:

• Eco-friendly packaging: Each slat is wrapped in eco-friendly wrapping paper, which protects it from scratches.
• Cardboard tube: The slats are then placed in cardboard tubes, which provide them with rigidity and additional protection against mechanical damage.
• Careful marking: Each package is clearly marked "Handled with care" and additionally protected against shocks, so that the slats arrive in perfect condition.
• Insurance: Each package is also insured, which provides additional security in the event of unforeseen events during transport.

Thanks to these safeguards, the slats are protected and reach the customer intact.

Yes, Minileiste® strips are perfect for finishing hidden doors. Thanks to their minimalist design and thin profile, the strips can be perfectly matched to such projects, creating an elegant and discreet finish.

There are dedicated profiles available for this type of project, such as:

• AL10x5 model with a clip system (for higher floors),
• AL16x2 model with a vinyl system (for floors less than 5 mm thick).

To make sure that the profile is a perfect match for your hidden door installation, we encourage you to order a sample.

Yes, Minileiste® strips can be removed if they are attached using mounting clips. This is one of the greatest advantages of this mounting system, as it allows for non-invasive and repeated removal and re-installation of the strips, e.g. during renovation.

To remove the strip, proceed as follows:

• Gently insert a thin object, e.g. a credit card, into the gap between the strip and the wall.
• Pry the strip evenly along its entire length, gradually lifting it upwards (by approx. 0.5–1 mm) until the clips release the strip.

Note: Strips attached with adhesive will not be removable without damaging them.

The Minileiste® powder coated range includes strips in the following colours:

• White (RAL 9016),
• Anthracite (RAL 7016).

Other colours, such as black, gold, silver and titanium, are anodised, which also ensures a durable and elegant finish.

Yes, you can use double-sided tape, but we recommend using dedicated mounting strips available on our website. They are specially designed for Minileiste® strips and have an exceptionally strong adhesive and the right thickness, which guarantees a durable and solid attachment of the strips.

Using other tapes, such as TESA, can cause problems such as:

• The strips coming off the floor if the tape is too thick,
• Insufficient hold if the tape has too low an adhesion factor.

Our tapes are very thin and have an exceptionally strong adhesive, which makes them adhere perfectly to the surface.

Yes, Minileiste® can be cut with a variety of tools, including an angle grinder (flex) or a handsaw. However, it is important to use the right tools for cutting aluminium to get the best results. Here are the details:

• Angle grinder (flex): A grinder with a metal cutting disc can be used, but care must be taken to ensure a clean and precise cut.
• Handsaw: A fine-toothed handsaw can be used, but the cut may be less precise and require more effort. Make sure the saw is suitable for cutting metal to avoid damaging the strip. This method will also require additional edge sanding.

A mitre saw with an aluminium cutting disc will give the best results – this is the tool that provides the most precise and cleanest cut, especially with aluminium strips.

No, the LED strip is not included with the Minileiste® SLED model strips. We only sell the strips, and the LED strip must be purchased separately. This allows you to choose the right LED strip with the preferred color and light output, adapted to your project.

Yes, straight and smooth walls are recommended for the installation of Minileiste® strips. Thanks to even surfaces, you will achieve a perfect fit of the strips and an aesthetic finish.

However, if the walls are slightly uneven, additional mounting clips can be used to better fit the strip to the surface and press it harder. The strips can deform linearly by +- 4 cm over a distance of 200 cm, which allows for some flexibility with small wall deviations.

In the case of larger wall irregularities, we recommend leveling them before installing the strips to ensure the best visual effect and permanent fixing.

1. Even walls and floors: If the walls and floors are relatively even, there should be no problems with installing the strips. Aluminium strips have a slight elasticity that allows for a slight adjustment to the wall.
2. Wall irregularities: If the walls in older buildings are significantly uneven, it is recommended to:

• Smooth the walls with plasterboard or plaster, which will allow for a straight surface.
• With smaller wall deviations, more mounting clips can be used to better adjust the strip to the surface.
• In the case of large and short wall undulations, especially when using white strips, the irregularities will be more visible. You can also fill the gaps with acrylic, similarly to the case of MDF strips.

Depending on the type of Minileiste® strips, the gap between the wall and the floor should be a certain width:

• Clip-on strips (for floors over 5 mm thick):
  • Gap depth: minimum 5 mm,
  • Gap width: 5-7 mm or 5-13 mm (depending on the strip model chosen).
• Strips mounted with adhesive (for floors under 5 mm thick, such as vinyl or microcement):
  
  • Gap depth: 1-2 mm,
  • Gap width: 1-2 mm.

Maintaining these gaps is essential to ensure the correct space for the strips to be installed and to maintain their stability and aesthetic appearance.

A minimal amount of dust can accumulate in the SLED strip, but thanks to its trapezoidal structure and minimal light gap, the amount of dust is kept to a minimum. The construction of the strip has been designed to reduce the accumulation of dirt, which makes the SLED strip easy to keep clean.

The SLED model from Minileiste® is a great choice if you want to run your cables. The shape of this strip is specially designed to hide the cables, allowing you to run them neatly and discreetly along the wall.

Minileiste® strips are available in two RAL colours:

• White (RAL 9016) – powder coated,
• Anthracite (RAL 7016) – powder coated.

Other colours, such as black, gold, silver and titanium, do not have RAL codes because they are anodised.
