Why did we choose a white plinth. What are the pros and cons

"It must be all the time to wash!" - repeated to us from all sides. But we did not give up. At our house the most controversial white plinth made of MDF. I'll tell him the pros and cons.

Why did we choose a white plinth

Now in vogue tall white baseboard moldings, large ceiling moldings. And we like the fashion. In addition, they have their advantages:

• They are beautiful. White color refreshes the room, emphasizes the color of the walls and floor.
• They look more expensive than plastic "relatives." And there are, of course, too, but this is related to the downside.

In general, the room design is very important stuff. Quality fittings make the room expensive and presentable. Even if it is cheap wallpaper and laminate. And the most expensive wallpaper will look cheap if they are Chinese switches in shiny gold plastic. And skirting. The extra 15,000 would make the external appearance of the room several times more expensive.

Perhaps this is all the advantages that I found. But it was enough to decide on a white plinth. And I do not regret.

Why should prepare for when choosing a white plinth

• He is much more expensive than plastic. We bought MDF, 7.5 centimeters in height for 400 rubles / pcs. Plastic costs about 60.
• No access to the cable channel after installation. Wires are walled up inside.
• It is said that he can vspuchilis from moisture. I have not seen, we have such a problem. But we walked through the joint plinth to the wall with white sealant.

• It shows dirt and dust. But also plastic moldings, too, need to wash. Our white I wash no more frequently than those in the color of the wood. So the fact that they are always dirty - it seems far-fetched.
• Skirting MDF is not as flexible as plastic. If you set it next to the curve of the wall, it will only emphasize irregularities.
• It is wider than in cash at the door. And joints do not look pretty. It is necessary to pay attention to it, maybe you find a wide cash. And we did not realize that there is a problem. And it can be seen up close and from afar is not noticeable. We are accustomed to.
• Skirting MDF difficult to install.

How to establish a plinth made of MDF

In all possible ways. Our master using special clips and stuck on the liquid nails. Therefore, the cost per job is high - more than 200 rubles per meter.

As a result, we spent 16,000 on plinths themselves, and 16,000 to install them. But we knew that going on. Therefore, the result pleased. I do not know whether I will use them in his next repair, but now white plinth me happy.
