The production material — phytopolymer (high-density polystyrene) with density 680 kg/m³ — provides a unique combination of exceptional strength and relatively low weight even for the maximum profile 126 × 16 mm. One linear meter of baseboard B126 weighs only about 270-280 grams, which is 5-7 times less than similar extremely high baseboards made of MDF or wood. Standard plank length of 2000 mm allows effectively covering the perimeter of spacious rooms of huge area.

Premium-grade phytopolymer from South Korean production

The base of baseboard B126 is phytopolymer — high-density polystyrene of the latest generation, produced by the company HI WOOD using a patented South Korean technology with more than thirty years of continuous experience in refining production processes, implementing breakthrough global technological innovations, and strict multi-stage quality control at every stage of the production cycle, from raw material receipt to packaging of finished product and delivery to the customer.

Material density 680 kg/m³ — a critical quality indicator of premium class, ensuring exceptional mechanical strength while maintaining minimal weight even for the extreme profile with height of 126 mm and thickness of 16 mm. This outstanding density is 27-45 times higher than ordinary EPS polystyrene and is fully comparable to the density of hardwoods such as oak (650-750 kg/m³). Such outstanding record density ensures bending strength of 45-50 MPa, tensile strength of 40-45 MPa, flexural modulus of 2500-3000 MPa, and impact toughness of 10-12 kJ/m², which is fully comparable or even exceeds the characteristics of many species of natural wood.

Water resistance of phytopolymer reaches absolute maximum 100% — the material does not absorb water even after prolonged immersion for 96 hours and more under laboratory conditions. Water absorption within 24 hours is less than 0.1% by mass, which is practically zero and dozens of times lower than the indicators of all alternative materials.Polystyrene floor baseboardBaseboard B126 can be installed absolutely without hesitation in the most extreme conditions of high humidity. The material absolutely does not swell from moisture, does not deform under humidity fluctuations from 20% to 100%, does not rot and does not develop mold, fungus, or moss even under constant dampness.

Material temperature stability covers the widest possible range from extremely low -50°C to high +80°C without any change in the physical, mechanical, geometric, or aesthetic properties of the product. The baseboard does not soften, does not deform, does not lose mechanical strength under prolonged heating. The linear thermal expansion coefficient is only 0.06-0.08 mm per meter for a 10°C temperature change — the minimum value among all construction materials, practically eliminating the appearance of gaps at joints.

Chemical resistance of phytopolymer ensures resistance to the overwhelming majority of household substances. The material absolutely does not react with water, soap solutions, water-based cleaning agents, weak acids and alkalis, salt solutions, alcohols, oils and fats. It is critically important to remember that polystyrene is absolutely incompatible with organic solvents.

Ecological safety of HI WOOD products is confirmed by the prestigious international "Korea Eco-Label" certification — the highest possible class A+ eco-label. The material is guaranteed to contain no formaldehyde, phenol, phthalates, heavy metals, asbestos. Does not emit volatile organic compounds VOC even when heated to 80°C. Phytopolymer is chemically absolutely inert, odorless, hypoallergenic, and absolutely safe for health of all population groups.

Architectural geometry of extreme smooth profile

Dimensions 126 × 16 mm represent extreme values and are the result of long-term architectural research, design development, and practical testing. Height of 126 mm belongs to the category of exclusive maximum premium profiles, intended for spacious rooms of huge area with very high ceilings from 4 to 6 meters, characteristic of elite suburban residences of grand scale, palaces, castles, representative halls of major corporations, monumental architecture bank buildings, museums with high vaults, theaters, cathedrals, and other public buildings of cultural significance.

Height of 126 mm provides colossal grand visual impact — the baseboard becomes an absolutely dominant architectural element of monumental character.
