ᐅ Baseboard for Floor Level Difference

Thank you for the feedback!

Make the baseboard in the higher room slightly narrower so that it creates a uniform line above the board.

By making it narrower, I assume you mean shortening the board lengthwise from the bottom. That would mean I’d have to shorten all the baseboards in the higher room like that...

Simply notch out the bottom so it runs evenly at the top.

What exactly do you mean by "notch out"? The baseboards are attached with adhesive.

Ah, I think I understand what you mean. But as I said above, that would still mean shortening all the baseboards in the higher room...

Best regards

Omit a few centimeters of baseboard in the area with the dark floor and instead apply a MS polymer joint. Since this material cures virtually without shrinkage and remains permanently elastic, it allows for wide joints without cracking.

That’s exactly how I would do it; I think it looks the neatest.

We had the choice between two heights for the baseboards (about 4 cm (1.5 inches) or about 6 cm (2.4 inches)). If the larger room has a higher floor level, I would install the 4 cm (1.5 inches) baseboards there and shorten the 6 cm (2.4 inches) baseboards in the lower room accordingly (provided that the significant shortening is not too visible).

Is this a new construction?
Why isn’t the floor level throughout?
You keep running into the edge from one side all the time.

You must keep bumping into the edge from one side.

It’s an older building. We’re currently renovating. Unfortunately, almost every room has a different floor level. Removing the entire screed and laying a new one wasn’t an option. So, we have to live with the small steps.

I’ve now found a solution for my problem. Please don’t laugh, I’m an amateur. But this works for us.

I made a template and cut the baseboard at an angle along the bottom.
