What is a skirting board?
Skirting boards are decorative materials installed at the junction of walls and floors. They not only connect the walls and floors but also protect the walls and corners from wear and damage caused by kicking or mopping.
The function of the skirting board
Protecting the wall: The skirting board is positioned relatively low and is vulnerable to external impacts. It can effectively protect the corners of walls, enhance the stability of the connection between the wall and the ground, and reduce the deformation and damage of the wall. At the same time, it prevents the walls from being soaked or scratched by water stains when cleaning the floor, providing reliable protection. Easy to clean: The surface of the skirting board is easy to scrub. Even if it splashes sewage when mopping the floor, it can be easily cleaned up. Decorative space: As a decorative element of the space, skirting boards can optimize the transition effect between the wall and the floor. When the colors of the two are close or mixed, the skirting board can clearly separate the upper and lower areas, making the overall space more unified and beautiful. Prevent floor deformation: Wooden floors have greater elasticity, while ceramic tiles have slightly less. When laying the floor, if it is closely attached to the wall, it will expand when exposed to heat or moisture. Due to the inability to stretch, it will squeeze each other, causing warping, deformation or even damage. Skirting boards can reserve expansion space for the floor and prevent such problems. Masking circuits: Some circuits can be hidden inside the skirting board to serve a decorative purpose. You can also choose wall grooves or skirting boards with wire holes to match the storage of the wiring.
