First a stain sample, then the entire order: how to buy wooden baguette K-102 100×13×500 mm and agree on the color before ordering two-meter molding

The furniture is already designed, the facade color is approved, but the carved decor has not been ordered yet. In the visualization, K-102 looks convincing, but there remains a practical risk: the chosen enamel on real embossed wood may look different than on a flat RAL fan or on a painted facade. Shadows appear in the carving recesses, the gloss reads differently, and the floral pattern may become either more expressive or visually heavier.

K-102 has a convenient feature for this scenario: the 100×13 mm profile is sold not only in 2000 mm lengths, but also as a separate product item 100×13×500 mm. This short piece can first be purchased as a full working element, a real paint sample can be done on it, applied to the furniture, and only after the finish is approved can you proceed to the main two-meter order.

It is important not to attribute anything extra to the manufacturer: STAVROS does not call the 500-mm K-102 a "sample." This is an independent product size. Using it for a test paint sample is a practical buyer strategy.

If you need buy wooden baguette K-102, the short item allows you to check the finish on the actual profile. If the model itself has not yet been chosen, it is more convenient to first Buy wooden picture frame molding through the general section.

Wooden baguette K-102: what sizes can actually be ordered

The current K-102 card now has three commercial sizes.

| Size A×C×L, mm | Material | Standard | Prestige | | --- | --- | ---: | ---: | | 100×13×500 | Beech | 4,070 ₽ | 6,760 ₽ | | 100×13×500 | Oak | 5,100 ₽ | 7,490 ₽ | | 100×13×2000 | Beech | 16,270 ₽ | 27,010 ₽ | | 100×13×2000 | Oak | 20,390 ₽ | 29,940 ₽ | | 200×13×2000 | Beech | 30,610 ₽ | 46,750 ₽ | | 200×13×2000 | Oak | 37,630 ₽ | 52,180 ₽ |

The card also confirms beech and oak, "Standard" and "Prestige," preparation "Under enamel," average production time of 5–10 days, shipment of goods from stock within 3 working days, rigid packaging frame for 390 ₽, and Contact us to confirm shipping to your destination.

K-102 is described as decorative carved molding with a floral pattern for furniture and furniture facades.

For the scenario of this article, we are interested specifically in the pair:

100×13×500 mm → finish test

and then:

100×13×2000 mm → main order.

This is the same nominal profile 100×13 mm in two lengths.

Why a 500 mm wooden molding is convenient for a test finish

The short item has a key advantage: the buyer checks not an abstract color, but a real finish on the real K-102 carving.

On such an element you can see:

• how the primer works on a relief surface;
• how the enamel lays on convex and concave areas;
• whether the pattern is lost under too dense a layer;
• how the selected shade looks in the shadows of the carving;
• how perception changes with different levels of gloss;
• whether the baguette matches the furniture front;
• how the color behaves in daylight and evening lighting.

A flat RAL swatch does not provide such an answer. It shows the color on a conditionally flat surface. K-102 has a relief, so light is distributed differently.

500 mm is not an official sample of K-102

The 100×13×500 mm position is sold as a full-fledged product.

It is not labeled in the card as a tester, sample, test piece, free fragment, or demonstration delivery.

Therefore, it is better to write in the order:

K-102 / 100×13×500 mm / beech / Standard / For enamel / 1 pc.

And not:

sample K-102.

Using this part for preliminary color testing is possible, but it is already the buyer's decision.

What the short K-102 will show before the main order

After painting the 500-millimeter element, you can check the color, gloss, texture, light and shadow contrast, combination with hardware, and the scale of the pattern next to the real facade.

It is especially useful to place K-102 directly against the cabinet, bed, or nightstand for which it is being purchased. Then the decision is made not based on a separate wooden part on the table, but within the future composition.

The check should answer a specific question:

Does K-102 look in real finishing the way it was intended in the visualization?

What a short part cannot check

500 mm does not replace the design of a two-meter decor.

It cannot be used to fully evaluate the entire composition on a long facade, the placement of joints, the complete rhythm of the pattern over 2 m, the number of required slats, the cutting of all furniture, the behavior of a long piece during specific installation, and the final effect of several long lines.

Therefore, the short K-102 is a tool for checking material, finish, and local appearance, not a full prototype of the entire project.

The short 100×13×500 mm does not test the 200×13×2000 mm variant.

The card does not include a short item:

200×13×500 mm.

The short K-102 exists only for the 100×13 mm profile.

If the main project is based on 200×13×2000 mm, purchasing 100×13×500 will help check the material and paint system, but it does not confirm the final appearance of the wider 200 mm profile.

The most straightforward scenario:

100×13×500 → 100×13×2000.

Four K-102 pieces of 500 mm do not replace a single two-meter plank.

In terms of total length:

4 × 500 = 2000 mm.

But additional joints will appear on the facade. Their position, fitting, and impact on the pattern become part of the project.

If a project requires a continuous two-meter part, they order 100×13×2000 mm, rather than trying to assemble it from four short pieces.

Price recalculation: short K-102 is almost not cheaper for the same 2 meters

For beech / Standard:

4 × 4 070 = 16 280 ₽.

One plank 2000 mm:

16 270 ₽.

The difference is only 10 ₽.

For beech / Prestige:

4 × 6,760 = 27,040 ₽ versus 27,010 ₽.

For oak / Standard:

4 × 5 100 = 20 400 ₽ vs 20 390 ₽.

For oak / Prestige:

4 × 7 490 = 29 960 ₽ vs 29 940 ₽.

Short length is not a way to buy linear material cheaper in parts. Its purpose in our task is to purchase one short item for finish testing.

Beech or oak: test and main K-102 should not be swapped by material

If the test finish is done on beech, and the main order is later switched to oak, the result can no longer be considered fully reproducible.

Therefore, if the final batch is planned from oak, it makes more sense to do the test on an oak K-102. If beech is planned, then on beech.

Correct sequence:

material selected → short K-102 painted → finish approved → the same material ordered in 2000 mm.

Standard or Prestige: test item must match the main specification

If the test piece is purchased in "Standard", and the main batch is later ordered in "Prestige", the specification changes.

To save the result, it is better to fix:

K-102 / 100×13 / beech / Standard

Or:

K-102 / 100×13 / beech / Prestige

and repeat this combination in the main order.

If you need to separately understand the levels of processing, you can look at the section Standard and Prestige.

How to match the color K-102 with a furniture facade, not just with the RAL fan

It is better to check the color sample directly at the furniture.

Minimum test:

1. apply K-102 to the facade;
2. view during the day;
3. view in the evening;
4. turn on the main lighting;
5. view from the side;
6. evaluate from a distance of 1–2 m;
7. compare next to the handle;
8. take a photo for approval.

It is useful to check the element in the exact orientation in which it will be installed.

If additional preparation information is needed, you can use the section painting and finishing of wooden decor.

The same RAL does not guarantee the same impression

Micro-shadows occur on the thread, so the same color may appear darker in recesses, brighter on protrusions, and more contrasting under side light.

That is why test K-102 is more useful than a theoretical discussion of the shade.

Check the color after the coating system has fully dried.

Fresh enamel and a fully dried coating can be perceived differently.

Therefore, you should not confirm K-102 immediately after applying the last coat.

You need to wait for the time specified by the manufacturer of the specific primer and enamel, and then repeat the visual check next to the furniture.

The article does not prescribe universal "24 hours" or "48 hours": different coating systems have their own instructions.

It is better to check K-102 on actual furniture, not just in the workshop.

Painted K-102 may look good on a neutral table and differently next to a cabinet front.

Perception is influenced by the adjacent wall color, floor, hardware, lighting, and furniture scale.

If the furniture is not yet assembled, it is useful to have at least a physical sample of the facade with the same finish.

The key is not to confirm the result based only on a photo of a short piece on a white background.

What to do if the first test coating did not pass

If the customer doesn't accept the color, gloss, or coating density, don't immediately start a two-meter batch.

First, record what exactly is unsatisfactory:

• shade;
• gloss level;
• readability of the relief;
• combination with the facade;
• combination with metal.

Then change one parameter and make a new test.

It's useful to label each option:

sample No.1 / enamel ___ / gloss ___ / date ___

sample No. 2 / enamel ___ / gloss ___ / date ___

This way, the result can be reproduced.

Is a second short K-102 needed for the second color option?

Not always.

If the technology allows correctly making separate test areas on one item and the result remains clear, one short element may be sufficient.

But if you need to compare two completely different preparation systems, two materials, or two complete options side by side, a separate second K-102 may be more convenient.

For beech / Standard two short elements:

2 × 4 070 = 8 140 ₽.

This is already a noticeable additional cost, so the second test should solve a specific task, not be purchased "just in case."

If the paint shop changes between the test and the main batch

Then it is especially important to convey not only the approved color.

The new workshop needs:

• the test K-102 itself;
• soil;
• enamel;
• color code;
• gloss;
• number of layers;
• preparation sequence.

Otherwise, the new team will reinterpret the phrase "make it like the sample."

The physical short K-102 in this case becomes the project's control reference.

How to coordinate K-102 with the client remotely

If the designer, client, and production are in different cities, one photo is not enough.

It is useful to take photos in daylight and artificial light, a close-up of the texture, a photo next to the facade, and a short video when changing the viewing angle.

But the final decision is still better to tie to the exact technical specification, rather than to the color on the screen.

What to give to the painter along with the short K-102

For the test to be reproducible, one wooden element is not enough.

The task needs to specify:

K-102 / beech / Standard / Under enamel / test #1

And separately:

• on which facade the decor will be used;
• which color is considered the target;
• what gloss level is needed;
• which primer to use;
• which enamel to use;
• what restrictions the paint and varnish manufacturer provided;
• Where is the facade reference sample located?

If a painter independently changes the primer or finish system, the final paint-out becomes a different technology. Therefore, any changes should be recorded.

How to compare two options without confusion

If multiple tests are done, each needs a number.

For example:

| Option | Material | Treatment | Color | Gloss | Result | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | No.1 | Beech | Standard | ___ | ___ | rejected | | No.2 | Beech | Standard | ___ | ___ | approved |

Then the main order is linked not to the words "that gray one that was liked," but to a specific option No. 2.

For a large order, such discipline is much more valuable than one more general piece of advice about choosing a color.

What to do if the facade color changed after K-102 was approved

This is a separate reason to stop the main order.

If a furniture facade after the test got a different shade, different gloss, or a different coating system, the old coating sample K-102 can no longer be considered automatically approved.

It needs to be applied again to the updated facade.

If the combination is preserved, the main order can be continued.

If not, first adjust the finish of the short piece.

This way, the test does not become a formality detached from the actual furniture.

When it is too early to launch the main order K-102

Even if the short sample is liked, the two-meter batch should not be processed until the following are determined:

• final profile 100×13 or 200×13;
• the material;
• Standard/Prestige;
• color;
• gloss;
• quantity;
• joint locations;
• Cutting;
• finishing contractor.

If at least one of these parameters is still changing, the main order may lock in a premature decision.

Test price: how much it costs to check K-102 before the main order

For beech / Standard short K-102 costs 4,070 ₽, two-meter one — 16,270 ₽.

This does not mean saving 12,200 ₽: after approval, the main product is still purchased.

It is more correct to consider 4,070 ₽ as the cost of a separate product check before a more expensive batch.

For oak / Standard short costs 5,100 ₽, long one — 20,390 ₽.

Why buying 500 mm increases the total budget

For beech / Standard:

4 070 + 16 270 = 20 340 ₽.

That is, the test adds the cost of the short part to the budget, as well as potentially separate delivery and packaging.

Therefore, the strategy is justified when the cost of a finishing error is higher than the cost of the check.

When the test K-102 can be skipped

A short check may be unnecessary if the same K-102 has already been used in the project, there is a physically approved part of the same material and finish, the surface treatment repeats a previous order, or the workshop itself performs and approves the test.

500 mm is a risk management tool, not a mandatory step in every purchase.

How not to lose the approved result during the main order

It is useful to keep in the specification:

• K-102;
• 100×13;
• the material;
• Standard or Prestige;
• “Under enamel”;
• soil;
• enamel;
• color code;
• gloss level;
• number of layers;
• the date of the color sample;
• who approved the result.

Bad entry:

white K-102.

Good:

K-102 / 100×13 / beech / Standard / primer ___ / enamel ___ / RAL ___ / gloss ___ / approved by color sample dated ___

When you can already order K-102 with a length of 2000 mm

The main order is placed after the material, color, gloss, finish, and profile are approved, the quantity is calculated, joint locations are known, and the cutting plan is agreed upon.

After that, you can order wooden baguette K-102 as the main product of the project.

Separate packaging 390 ₽: what to consider when buying in two stages

The K-102 card indicates a rigid packaging frame costing 390 ₽.

If the purchase is done in two stages, you need to check the actual invoice for each stage.

Do not assume in advance that 390 ₽ will be charged once or twice.

Therefore, it is better to confirm the packaging of the short order and the main batch separately.

How to place an order for a short K-102

For a test color sample:

K-102 / 100×13×500 mm / beech / Standard / Under enamel / 1 pc. / working element for finish approval

The last phrase is a project comment, not a manufacturer's product status.

How to place the main order K-102

After approval:

K-102 / 100×13×2000 mm / beech / Standard / For enamel / ___ pcs. / finish according to approved color sample No. ___

If the project requires 200×13×2000:

K-102 / 200×13×2000 mm / beech or oak / Standard or Prestige / ___ pcs.

But a short 100-millimeter test is not considered a full check of the geometry of the 200-millimeter option.

If the main order is large: first approve one technology

For several two-meter K-102, a short test is especially useful as a finish reference.

After its approval, the workshop repeats one agreed technology for the entire batch.

This is better than trying to match the color anew for each long piece.

Acceptance of a two-meter K-102 after a trial paint-out

When the main order arrives, first check K-102, size, length, material, Standard/Prestige, preparation, and quantity.

If the short K-102 is preserved, it is better not to throw it away until the entire batch is completed.

It becomes the physical reference standard of the project.

Passport of the approved K-102 paint-out: what to keep together with the short piece

After color approval, it is useful to create a short test passport.

For example:

| Parameter | Value | | --- | --- | | Article number | K-102 | | Test size | 100×13×500 mm | | Material | beech / oak | | Finish | Standard / Prestige | | Preparation | For enamel | | Primer | ___ | | Enamel | ___ | | Color code | ___ | | Gloss | ___ | | Number of coats | ___ | | Approval date | ___ | | Customer / designer | ___ |

Such a passport is needed not for formality. It links the physical short K-102 to a specific technology.

If in a month another craftsman paints the main batch, he receives not a vague "make it like that white one," but a precise map.

If a reorder is needed in a year, the owner will retain the original specification.

After approving the sample, it is not worth immediately using the short part in a random place or throwing it away.

After approving the sample, it is not worth immediately using the short part in a random place or throwing it away.

Until the main order is completed, it is useful as a control:

• compare the preparation;
• check the color;
• check the gloss;
• show the result to a new contractor;
• show the result to a new contractor;
• confirm a repeat order.

What to check before sending the two-meter K-102 for painting

Even after a successful test, the main batch should not be painted "from memory".

Even after a successful test, the main batch does not need to be painted "from memory."

Before finishing, check:

1. whether the article K-102 is correct;
2. is that the profile 100×13;
3. whether the length 2000 mm is correct;
4. whether the material is correct;
5. whether Standard/Prestige matches;
6. whether there is a saved approved test;
7. whether the technological map has been handed to the painter;
8. whether the facade color has changed after the test.

If at least one item differs, the short paint-out can no longer be considered automatic approval to start the entire batch.

If the main order is delayed by several months

In a few months, the project may change: a different wall color, different hardware, a new facade shade, or a different level of gloss.

In such a situation, the short K-102 should be applied again to the current furniture.

If it still fits, the technology can be kept.

If the surrounding interior has changed, it is better to re-approve the combination before painting expensive two-meter moldings.

Mistakes when using 500 mm as a test element

Mistake: calling it an official STAVROS sample.
The card shows a full product item.

Mistake: testing beech but ordering oak.
The material changes.

Error: testing the Standard, but taking the Prestige for the main batch without a decision.
The specification is already different.

Error: using 100×13×500 as a full prototype of 200×13×2000.
The profile width differs.

Error: considering four short elements as a full replacement for one long plank.
Additional joints appear.

Error: stating only the RAL number.
Need to check the relief, gloss, and the actual furniture environment.

Error: discarding the test element after approval.
It is useful as a reference for the main batch.

Where to buy wooden baguette and K-102 separately

If the model is still being selected, you can Carved wooden skirting see in the general section.

If you need a wider catalog of decorative elements, you can to buy carved wooden decor.

If K-102 is already approved, it is better to go directly to wooden baguette K-102 100×13×500 mm and select the desired configuration.
