Types of premium floor plinths: wood, aluminum, PVC


When it comes to choosing premium flooring plinths, there are various options available and each type of plinth has advantages and disadvantages. In this article we will focus on three main types of skirting boards: wood, aluminum and PVC. Each of these can influence not only the aesthetics, but also the functionality of a space, and the right choice is essential to obtain a quality final result.

The importance of choosing the right skirting boards cannot be underestimated. Skirting boards not only complement the aesthetic appearance of a room, but also play important functional roles, such as protecting walls from wear and tear and moisture. Furthermore, plinths can contribute to the thermal and acoustic insulation of a space, which makes them a strategic choice in residential projects such as apartment complexes or apartment complexes.

Wooden plinths are popular SUSTAINABILITY AND natural look that it offers. They bring extra warmth and elegance to any room. We at RATGROUP SRL use top quality materials, including antique Admonter wood, which not only looks beautiful, but is also extremely durable. For example, in a recent project for a new apartment in a residential complex in Bihor, we used wooden plinths that integrated perfectly into the interior design, giving it a sophisticated and natural air.

On the other hand, aluminum clogs are a modern choice, for which they are recognized moisture resistance and duration. They are ideal for spaces such as bathrooms or kitchens where humidity can be a problem. We use professional Bosch and DeWalt equipment to ensure accurate and efficient installation of aluminum skirting boards. A relevant example is the project created for a hospital in Passau, where we used aluminum plinths to ensure optimal protection from humidity.

PVC is an economical and versatile solution for skirting boards. It is available in a wide range of colors and textures, making it easy to integrate into any interior design style. PVC skirting boards are easy to maintain and stain resistant, making them ideal for new homes or studios. We at RATGROUP SRL use high quality adhesives such as UZIN and Wakol to ensure a solid fixing of PVC plinths.

When it comes to costs, it is important to compare prices between different types of baseboards. Wooden skirting boards may be more expensive initially, but their long-term durability makes them a good investment. Aluminum baseboards are often more affordable than wood baseboards, but may require a larger investment to install. PVC skirting boards are the cheapest options available, but it is essential to consider the quality of the material chosen.

The impact of plinths on thermal and acoustic insulation is another important aspect to consider. Wooden baseboards offer natural insulation due to their density, while aluminum baseboards can help reduce noise due to their solid construction. PVC skirting boards, although not offering the same insulation as wooden or aluminum ones, can be used in combination with other solutions to improve the acoustic comfort of a home.

When choosing custom skirting boards, the right size and color are essential to achieve a harmonious result. At RATGROUP SRL we collaborate with our customers to select the best options based on the desired style and technical specifications of the project. For example, in a recent project for a new apartment in a residential complex, we customized the skirting boards to perfectly match the chosen flooring.

Installing skirting boards requires attention to detail and technical knowledge. We use specialized Wolf and Janser machines to ensure precise cutting and quick installation. Furthermore, our team of experts is well trained to provide tips and tricks to achieve a professional result. A relevant example is a project carried out for an Audi dealership, where we managed to complete the installation of skirting boards in record time without compromising quality.

Hoof maintenance varies depending on the material chosen. Wooden baseboards require regular care to prevent damage, such as periodic polishing and application of special oils. Aluminum plinths are easy to clean with simple cleaning solutions, while PVC plinths can be easily cleaned with a damp cloth. It is important to pay attention to maintenance to maintain the aesthetic appearance of the skirting boards for a long time.

Current trends in premium floor skirting design include clean, minimalist lines, neutral colors and varied textures. Custom skirting boards are becoming increasingly popular, allowing customers to express their personal style by choosing the colors and sizes they want. We at RATGROUP SRL keep up to date with the latest trends in the sector to offer our customers the best solutions.

The choice of baseboards significantly influences the overall appearance of the floor. A well-chosen plinth can highlight the beauty of the floor and complement the interior design of a new house or apartment. For example, in a recent project for a residential complex in Bihor, we chose wooden baseboards that emphasized the beauty of the hardwood flooring.

Relevant case studies include work carried out for clients such as Mercedes Benz Autohaus Munchen and Caverion Deutschland GmbH, where we implemented customized skirting solutions that improved both the aesthetics and functionality of the respective spaces. These experiences have helped us strengthen our expertise in the field of premium flooring.

Our recommendations for quality products and brands include Bosch, DeWalt, Festool and Makita for tools, as well as UZIN and Wakol for adhesives. These brands are recognized for their reliability and contribute to achieving excellent results in our projects.

In conclusion, choosing the right skirting boards is essential to achieving a satisfactory end result in any residential project.
