Hello! We have a section of the floor next to a staircase that is curved. There is a small landing by the staircase, and the original owner of the house has cut out curved floor pieces and installed them. Now we are going to lay new flooring on top of the old one, and face a tricky problem.
Are there any baseboards that can be bent? The absolute best would be a type of wainscoting, but otherwise, some regular baseboard in a flexible material? I have googled but haven't found anything.
A friend bought standard skirting boards but OBS knot-free. Took a Ventrör and taped one end. Placed the boards in the pipe and set a wallpaper steamer (hot air steam) against the open end of the pipe. Then, after 10-20 minutes, you could quickly hold the boards against the curved wall and nail them in place. It has held up great!
The plastic moldings sounded quite interesting, even if a steamed version also sounded fun!
I checked on Jem & Fix's website, but unfortunately found nothing about it. The question is whether it's worth taking a chance to go there on a whim, was it a long time ago you bought Ryssi?
Preferably use knot-free pine if the radius isn't too small for coniferous wood, you will either need a jig if you're not bending on site, then sanded and painted on site, of course.
