Design Details

Unique Properties
This magnetic metal baseboard made of aluminum panel and metal back panel can realize glue-free and no plug-in installation by simple splice. The recyclable baseboard is easy to disassemble and is only 5mm thick after installation. The magnetic installation can reduce the release of toxic gases of aldehydes and benzene, and create an environment-friendly living condition. Exclusive accessories ensures a more complete assembly between the two panels.
Inspiration
The wooden baseboard is susceptible to damp and pests, and the thick tile baseboard with high price is complicated to install and easy to gather dust. The traditional metal baseboard has two installation methods, namely plug-in installation and glued installation. However, the former one demands high accuracy, and the latter one will generate formaldehyde and other harmful substances. In this connection, the design team hopes to develop a baseboard to overcome the above shortcomings.
Research
Baseboard is an indispensable ornament in modern interior architecture, which can make the wall and the floor connect firmer, reduce wall deformation and avoid the sabotage caused by outside force collision. The simple linear aesthetic appeal creates visual transition in walls and floors, blends with a variety of modern home styles, and gives more tension to interior spaces.
Challenge
This baseboard overcomes the shortcomings of the traditional ones and has a incomparable space adaptability. The baseboard can be recycled and its installation and disassembly is highly convenient and time-saving. Featuring the simplified magnetic attraction approach that is free of glue, it avoids the release of noxious gases such as formaldehyde, and brings users a safer living environment.
Realization and Technology
Both aluminum panel and metal back panel are magnetized, and can be installed without glue and plugs. Its oxidized surface is durable, moisture-proof and smooth. The baseboard adopts high-precision mechanical cutting to ensure a uniform and accurate size.
Operation and Interaction
This magnetic metal baseboard made of aluminum panel and metal back panel can realize glue-free and no plug-in installation by simple splice. The disassembly and recycling of the product are also convenient. Its oxidized surface has a smooth texture, and the tilted design is relatively dust-proof.
Project Duration and Location
The project started in Shenzhen.
