Installing PVC/PS plastic skirting is an effective way to protect walls and increase the aesthetics of the space. The construction process includes the following steps: Measuring and treating the construction surface, cutting the skirting, applying glue, installing and fixing with nails.

How much does it cost to install baseboards for a room?
On average, wool accounts for 10% of the total cost of flooring.
The cost of installing the skirting depends on the perimeter of the room, the height of the skirting and the construction method. A square room with flat walls will be cheaper than a room with many corners. Normally, the total cost includes: skirting materials, glue/nails, corner processing labor and finishing the skirting head. For complete interior finishing projects, the skirting item is often quoted in a meter package including construction to make it easier for you to approve the budget.
What is the aesthetic purpose of baseboard?
Skirting creates a neat and uniform baseboard border with the floor. In addition to covering the expansion gap between the floor and the wall, skirting also helps the space look more complete, like a "frame" running around the baseboard. When the skirting color matches the floor color, the overall room is seamless, with less fragmentation. When choosing skirting in a contrasting color to the wall (for example, wood grain skirting on a light wall), the baseboard will have a clear, more luxurious highlight that can be seen right at the entrance.
Is it necessary to choose baseboards that match the color of the wooden floor/plastic floor?
Not required, but matching the floor color helps to minimize the expansion joints and gives a high-end feel. On the contrary, choosing neutral colored wool (white, light gray) helps to brighten the room and match many minimalist interior styles. With neoclassical style or houses with distinct wood tones, dark wood grain wool will be more suitable.
Where is the most suitable place to install baseboard?
Baseboards are usually installed at the edge of the wall. The main purpose is to cover the expansion gap of the floor, limit dust from sticking to the gap, and protect the base of the wall from brooms, shoes or vacuum cleaners. In buildings with a lot of traffic (hallways, common living areas), baseboards help prevent the base of the wall from chipping or getting dirty quickly.
Can baseboards be used in bathroom areas?
In areas with direct humidity and standing water for a long time, such as inside the bathroom, wool is usually not installed, because steam and standing water at the base of the wall can reduce adhesion.
When should I use T-shaped floor dividers?
When the room is longer or wider than 7m. T-shaped strips help create a technical expansion gap between two areas, avoiding floor swelling due to temperature changes, and separating spaces such as kitchen and living room.
How is plastic wool different from industrial wood wool?
Plastic wool is lighter, more moisture-resistant and termite-resistant than industrial wood wool. Wood wool looks more “woody” but expands easily when exposed to water for a long time. Therefore, those who prioritize durability – easy to clean – optimal cost often choose plastic wool; those who prioritize the feeling of natural wood will consider wood wool.
What is the difference between PS plastic skirting and PVC plastic skirting?
PS plastic skirting has a solid base but is lighter in weight than hollow base skirting made of PVC plastic. Both have a decorative film layer with a variety of designs.
At Kosmos, the model PVC skirting board Designed with synchronous Nano plastic wall panels, fluted panel.
Can I use just F-bracket instead of baseboard?
F-shaped strip only covers the floor edge, while skirting covers the entire base of the wall and protects the wall surface. In short: F-shaped strip does not completely replace the role of skirting.
If you remove the wool and only use the F-bracket close to the wall, the low wall is still susceptible to dirt, chipped paint, and the vacuum cleaner can still scrape against the wall.
Do I need to chisel the wall to install plastic baseboard?
No need. The worker just needs to cut to size, apply glue and fix with nails and special glue. For plaster or plastic walls, only glue should be used to avoid damage.
Can I do the baseboard myself?
Yes, if you have the right cutting tools and glue. Be sure to measure and cut exactly 45° angles at the right angles of the room for a tighter, more aesthetic connection.
How to clean and preserve plastic wool?
Wipe with a damp cloth, diluted solution, avoid sharp objects scratching the surface. Do not install near high heat sources >50°C. Periodic maintenance every 3-6 months to check the adhesive and clean dust from the wool slot.
How long does plastic baseboard last?
Average lifespan 10–15 years, thanks to the anti-fading UV coating and moisture-resistant PS/PVC core. Under indoor conditions, the product has little deformation and maintains stable color.
Does plastic wool have a warranty?
Kosmos does not warrant baseboards.
