in THE MAIN WALL
I have a small apartment building that i service in the downtown area . The newly installed baseboard gets destroyed right away after installation. I'm looking for a more hearty form of BB, maybe something with a solid core (solid to the cover. ) Can anyone help with a suggestion of a brand? Years ago I came across a brand that had honeycomb core that contacted the outer cover . It was made exactly to be relatively indestructible but I cannot remember the name of the manufacturer. Anyone?

    What form does the destruction take?
    Maybe cast iron radiators would be an indestructible replacement.--NBC

    Smith's Environmental makes something, but if they're that destructive, they might be able to damage anything.

    Slant Fin #80 is considered "commercial grade" and a whole lot thicker. Much thicker than their other offerings.

    IMO, if they destroy #80, they are doing it intentionally.

    Now if the damage is to baseboards next to toilets, tell them that the boys have to sit down to pee like the ladies do. And collect a higher security deposit.

    A good way to train boys to be considerate of the ladies and always leaving the seat down.
