Baseboards

Buy polystyrene baseboards from the official partner of the company STAVROS — means choosing a reliable solution for decorating an interior of any level. The HI WOOD (South Korea) polystyrene floor baseboard made of phytopolymer with density 680 kg/m³ combines exceptional natural wood strength, 100% absolute water resistance, minimal weight and affordable cost. A wide range of polystyrene floor baseboards from 58 to 140 mm in height allows selecting the ideal solution for rooms with any ceiling height — from standard apartments to luxury residences and palaces.

Why choose polystyrene baseboards

100% absolute water resistance — the material does not absorb water even when fully submerged, allowing installation of polystyrene baseboards in bathrooms, toilets, kitchens, pools, saunas and other wet areas without risk of deformation, swelling or mold growth.

Minimal weight — polystyrene floor baseboards are 5-7 times lighter than MDF, solid wood or gypsum analogs, significantly simplifying transportation and installation of polystyrene baseboards, allowing installation by one person without special tools or professional skills.

Geometric stability — the coefficient of thermal expansion is 0.06-0.08 mm per meter for a 10°C temperature change, minimal among all finishing materials, practically eliminating the appearance of gaps at joints during seasonal temperature fluctuations from winter heating to summer.

Ecological safety — the "Korea Eco-Label" A+ certification confirms the absence of formaldehyde, phenol, heavy metals and volatile organic compounds, making polystyrene baseboards absolutely safe for the health of all family members, including children, pregnant women and allergy sufferers.

Versatility of application — matte white surface for painting allows coloring baseboards in any color using professional water-based paints, creating an ideal match with any interior style, from classic to ultra-modern minimalism.

Affordable price — the cost of polystyrene baseboards is 2-3 times lower than similar products made of natural wood, MDF or polyurethane, with comparable or even superior quality and durability.

Phytopolymer characteristics

Phytopolymer (dureopolymer) — is high-density polystyrene 680 kg/m³, produced using a patented South Korean technology by high-precision extrusion at 200-220°C, followed by molding under 25-30 MPa pressure in vacuum chambers. The material has a bending strength of 45-50 MPa, fully comparable to hardwoods such as oak and beech.

The material's temperature stability covers a wide range from -50°C to +80°C without changes in physical and mechanical properties, allowing use of polystyrene floor baseboards in unheated rooms, open balconies and country houses with seasonal occupancy. The material is not afraid of heating from underfloor heating systems, radiators or summer heat up to +50°C.

Wide range of sizes

Standard baseboards (58-80 mm)

Buy 80 mm polystyrene baseboard and other profiles of standard height 58-80 mm — ideal solution for standard apartments and rooms with ceiling height of 2.5-2.7 meters. Models B58, B60V1, B70, B80, B80V1 create neat, harmonious framing and effectively conceal technological compensation gaps of 10-15 mm between floor covering and wall, uneven junctions up to 5 mm.

High baseboards (90-110 mm)

Profiles 90-110 mm high are designed for spacious rooms with large area and ceiling height from 2.8 to 4 meters. Models B90V1L, B90V2, B98V1, BE100, B100V1, B110V1, B110V1L create expressive monumental framing for premium-class luxury interiors and effectively conceal increased technological gaps up to 25-30 mm in spacious rooms over 50 m².

Extremely high baseboards (125-140 mm)

Profiles of record height 125-140 mm — are exclusive premium solutions for rooms with very high ceilings from 4 meters and above. Models BE125, B126, B140 create grand monumental framing for palaces, manor-style mansions, museums, theaters and representative halls with monumental architecture.

Skirting boards with lighting

Model LB99 with height 99 mm and special structural technical recess 12-15 mm deep is designed for professional installation of LED strip and creating an impressive floating architectural lighting effect around the perimeter of any room area.

Areas of application

Residential spaces — apartments, country houses, cottages, townhouses, penthouses. Polystyrene baseboards create neat framing for living rooms, bedrooms, kitchens, hallways, children's rooms and offices.

Wet zones — bathrooms, toilets, showers, pools, saunas, hammams. 100% absolute water resistance of the material ensures long-term durability in humid aggressive environments without deformation or swelling.

Commercial interiors — offices, banks, restaurants, cafes, hotels, shopping centers, boutiques. High material strength ensures durability under intensive commercial use with constant visitor flow.

Public spaces — museums, theaters, galleries, concert halls, philharmonics. High profiles 100-140 mm correspond to the scale of monumental architecture of public buildings of cultural significance.

Installing polystyrene baseboards — simple and fast

Installation of polystyrene baseboards is performed using a special water-based adhesive for polystyrene baseboards without mechanical fixation with screws or anchors due to the minimal weight of the products. Recommended professional acrylic adhesives such as liquid nails with high initial tack (2-3 minutes), MS-polymer adhesives with elastic seams, or the HI WOOD HD1000 adhesive specially developed for the company's products.

How to cut polystyrene baseboard — the material is easily processed using a professional miter saw with a fine-toothed disc of 250-400 mm diameter (depending on profile height) or a standard metal hacksaw with fine teeth combined with a corresponding depth saw blade. How to saw polystyrene baseboard — for clean cuts without chipping, it is recommended to use discs with 80-120 teeth and a rotation speed of 3000-4000 rpm.

The corners of the room are finished by beveling the ends of the strips at a precise 45-degree angle, followed by filling the corner joint with white acrylic sealant with minimal shrinkage of no more than 2% upon drying. The joint is carefully smoothed with a wet finger or rubber spatula to create a perfectly seamless transition between the strips.

The design of all profiles includes a functional internal cable channel with significant capacity for convenient routing of telephone wires, high-speed Ethernet internet, television cables, audio systems, and other communications, completely eliminating the need for labor-intensive and costly wall grooving for wiring.

How to paint polystyrene skirting board

To achieve a high-quality, long-lasting finish, paint the white matte surface of the skirting boards — which has a specially prepared fine-porous structure optimized for painting with professional water-based paints without prior surface priming. Simply remove dust with a dry, lint-free cloth before applying paint.

Only professional water-based paints without organic solvents are used for painting: interior acrylic water-dispersible paints with matte or semi-matte finishes and enhanced coverage (Class 1-2), premium-grade latex paints with enhanced durability, silicone paints with maximum water resistance and dirt-repellent properties.

It is strictly forbidden to use paints based on organic solvents — alkyd enamels, oil-based paints, nitrocellulose lacquers, polyurethane enamels with solvents. Solvents (acetone, toluene, white spirit, gasoline) react chemically with polystyrene and destroy its molecular structure.

Application is performed using a professional synthetic-bristle brush with a width of 40-70 mm for profiled profiles with relief, or a microfiber roller with short bristles for smooth surfaces and faster work. The first base coat is applied thinly and evenly across the entire height of the profile without runs, skips, or pooling. After complete drying (3-4 hours at room temperature), a second finishing coat is applied to achieve a uniform, saturated color without streaks.
