This will create a clean look while keeping moisture out.Before installation, ensure that the concrete surface is clean and dry. You will probably need to use a level to determine just how best to place it, as concrete walls are most often uneven. Construction adhesive is a good choice to go along with screws or nails when you set that baseboard firmly against the wall.Caulking the seams and baseboards painting will add finishing touches and further protection. With proper thought and the right methods, one can successfully install baseboards on concrete walls to better the room’s appearance as well as add the durability required.
