Comments (1)Vinyl shoe molding (or at least quarter round) is available. It's grouped together in the stores with PVC molding for garages. You can paint it any color you like. Thought truthfully, unless you're doing tons of splashing, or taking long steam showers with the door closed, painted wood baseboards/shoe molding should be fine. We've got them in all our bathrooms. And think about it: your vanities are made of wood. So it's not taboo in the bathroom....See Morebullnose corners. shoe molding vs scribing
Comments (9)You could always try stem bending the shoe molding. It is not large and might be able to bend tight enough depending on the diameter you need. I am sort of surprised no one makes something for this. You could always do a multi-piece mitered joints. Like a pair of 45 degrees, or a smaller angle and more piece if you want it smother (like three 30 degree pieces for a 90 degree corner)....See MoreHow to Install Laminate if Shoe Mould is Painted on?
Comments (30)Joseph, I think you are preaching to the choir on a forum like this, so chill and give posters credit for knowing what they are dealing with. This is a 750SF house, built to house base support during the interwar period. It is as basic as basic gets, but hardwood flooring was par for the course in that era, even though a luxury to us. There is just no way to cosmetically salvage the floor. It has served faithfully for ninety years, but is just worn out. I appreciate everyone's advice on the shoe mold. I'm clearly overthinking it, but I was just so down in the dumps because of all that haaaaard work scrubbing and laying poly gone to waste. I was so proud of the job I had done. But we knew it was a gamble when we did it, because of the condition of the floor. We have found an unbelievable clearance deal on Trafficmaster laminate at the local big box, so we can at least keep the look of what was there....See MoreSize of shoe molding to use with 6" baseboards
Comments (6)I HEAR you! I feel your pain. I just said to a design pal of mine, regarding the general laissez faire mentality in which the entire country ( and also my industry!! ) seems to be suffering/ short version: Remember the infamous JFK ? "Ask not what your country can do for you; ask what you can do for your country" My version: Tell you what....: ) Everyone please get off your dead ass if you are capable of doing just about anything. Start doing the most , not the least , at whatever endeavor that may be. Get your panties up, Drive your own destiny and stop using a virus, or anything other than genuine disability as an excuse to langush.. or WORSE?
