Metrie Very Square MDF Baseboard
Metrie’s Very Square MDF Baseboard is a modern, clean-lined option manufactured from engineered MDF for consistent dimensions and smooth paint-ready surfaces, making it cost-effective for large-scale trim installations. It undercuts solid wood on price and eliminates knots or grain variation, though it lacks the moisture resistance of PVC and the natural hardwood appeal of species like acacia. For budget-conscious remodels focused on painted finishes in dry interior spaces, it combines contemporary style with predictable installation performance.
