Frequently Asked Questions About Baseboards

What is the difference between a baseboard and a fascia board?

An interior baseboard is installed along the bottom of the wall, flush with the floor. An exterior baseboard is installed on the outside, at the base of the facade. Both are available in Belgian blue stone.

Which finish should you choose for your baseboards?

Usually the same as the floor: honed if the floor is honed, sanded if the floor is sanded. This way, the floor and baseboard form a unified whole.

How high is a baseboard?

You can choose the height yourself in the configurator, based on the style of the interior and the height of any door frames.

Can baseboards be cut to size?

Yes. You can customize the baseboard yourself to your desired thickness, height, and length, with an instant price calculation.

How do you maintain natural stone baseboards?

Just like the floor: use a pH-neutral natural stone soap. Baseboards catch most of the splashes when you mop, so just include them in your cleaning routine.
