Baseboards are commonly made from wood, such as oak, pine, maple, poplar, or cherry, or an engineered wood product like MDF (medium-density fiberboard)
.
Hardwoods
Such as oak, maple, cherry, cedar, or mahogany, hardwoods are durable and can be stained or varnished. They’re a good choice if you want to match the wood grain of your floors. However, hardwoods are more expensive than other options.
Poplar
A hardwood that’s durable and a good choice for baseboards.
Finger-jointed pine
A softwood that’s less expensive than hardwoods and often pre-primed. However, it’s not as durable as poplar and can be more susceptible to moisture.
MDF
An engineered wood product made from broken down hardwood. MDF is budget-friendly, user-friendly, and has a smooth surface. However, it’s not as strong as solid wood and lacks wood grain. MDF baseboards usually come primed and need to be painted.
When choosing a wood for baseboards, you can consider whether you want to paint or stain them, and how much traffic the area will get:
Painting: If you want to paint, a softwood like pine or fir is a good choice.
Staining: If you want to stain and varnish, a hardwood that matches your floors is a good choice.
Traffic: If the area will get a lot of traffic, a stronger material like wood or PVC is a better choice than MDF.

-in [architecture], a [baseboard] is usually [wooden/vinyl board] covering the lowest part of an [interior wall]-
.
Its purpose is to cover the joint between the wall surface and the floor.
It covers the uneven edge of flooring next to the wall; protects the wall from kicks, abrasion, and furniture; and can serve as a decorative molding
At its simplest, baseboard consists of a simple plank nailed, screwed or glued to the wall;
however, particularly in older houses, it can be made up of a number of mouldings for decoration.
A baseboard differs from a wainscot; a wainscot typically covers from the floor to around 1-1.5 m high (waist or chest height), whereas a baseboard is typically under 0.2 m high (ankle height).[2]
Plastic baseboard comes in various plastic compounds, the most common of which is UPVC.
It is usually available in white or a flexible version in several colors and is usually glued to the wall
Vinyl baseboard is glued with adhesive and can be difficult to remove or to replace.
It has a long lifespan, which can mean lower maintenance
Wooden baseboard can be available in untreated, lacquered or prepainted versions.
Prepainted baseboards can be made from a single piece or finger jointed wood, often softwoods, while hardwoods are either lacquered, or raw for staining and made from a single piece of wood.
Heaters are sometimes installed in place of or in front of baseboards.
These come in electrical and radiator varieties, the latter relying on hot water as their heat source.[5]
Depending on the nature of the baseboard heater, they can become hot enough to start a fire on furniture or curtains that are placed too close to the units
.
Country variations
Baseboards generally have typical variations depending on the country.
For example, in China the baseboards are usually very low in height, are made of plastic or redwood, and have a very simple or unprofiled design.
In contrast, in the UK, where they are normally referred to as skirting board not baseboard, there are a vast number of profiles available.
These profiles are frequently named after the period when they were developed, such as Victorian or Edwardian
