The present disclosure generally relates to baseboards and methods of making and using baseboards. Some baseboards described herein include a foam body having a first major surface opposite and separated from a second major surface and a top surface opposite and separated from a bottom surface; the foam body including a foam having a density of between about 20 kg/mand about 100 kg/m; a rigid coating on one of the first or second major surfaces of the foam body; the rigid coating having a modulus of elasticity of between about 1000 MPa and about 10,000 MPa and a thickness of between about 200 to about 1000 micrometers; and optionally an adhesive layer on the other of the first or second major surfaces of the foam body. In some embodiments, the baseboards have a modulus of elasticity of at least 100 MPa. This ensures that they are sufficiently rigid while remaining hand-cuttable.
