Hello everyone,
we are now in the process of planning our baseboards. There are so many from different suppliers that it's getting hard to keep track. We didn't find anything decent at the hardware store either.
We have a solid house and vinyl flooring glued down throughout the entire house. White wallpaper that ends 2 cm above the floor. So we were considering installing relatively low baseboards. A height of 40 mm would be nice. The selection here is not really big.
The next consideration is: how should the inside and outside corners look. I will not miter cut them. To be honest, that's too much effort for me. So there are two options left:
1. Plastic corners (this is our emergency solution)
2. Corner blocks (or whatever they are called)
With the second option, it is again difficult to get these corner blocks exactly in the thickness of the baseboard. And they shouldn’t protrude either :/
So we will probably go with option 1. Unless someone has a better idea or a supplier where everything fits.
Regarding the attachment, I don’t really care whether it is fixed with clips or screwed directly into the wall. Whether it is MDF or solid wood doesn’t matter either. Cable management would be good but is not absolutely necessary.
Maybe you can post some pictures of how you solved this...
Best regards
Sebastian
