Various types of baseboards are widely used to achieve different structural and design goals. These can be narrow specialized elements or special structures made from various materials. Such a baseboard is typically referred to as a designer baseboard. Despite their decorative purpose, designer baseboards perform the same structural function as any other baseboard: they cover joints, hide gaps, and have special channels for cable installation. Correctly chosen baseboard sizes during apartment renovations will accentuate the overall design concept. The right color palette enhances the finishing details. When combined with other surfaces, baseboards can visually emphasize the elements that the designer intended to highlight. They also help hide components that need to be concealed. As the final touch in any finish, baseboards are always in plain sight. Any damage to them, even minor, can detract significantly from the overall impression of the design. The most common defects are mechanical damages, which may require baseboard repair. Baseboards come in a variety of materials, including solid wood, particleboard (chipboard), fiberboard (MDF), plaster, ceramics, polystyrene foam, and others. Veneered baseboards made from natural wood are particularly popular. These can be crafted from wood processing waste, such as fiberboard and particleboard, or from less expensive wood species. The decorative finish allows for a wide range of staining or special painting, followed by a protective lacquer coating.

One of the typical defects that are addressed during the restoration of veneered baseboards is peeling and chipping of the veneer. These defects occur for two reasons: mechanical impact, which causes peeling, and insufficient adhesive strength between the veneer and the base.

In any case, for a restoration master, it is not difficult to restore the item to its original appearance, so that the baseboards can continue to perform their functions and continue to delight the eyes of all household members and guests.
