1. Another function of the baseboard is its protective function. Kick line, as the name suggests, refers to the area where the foot can be kicked, so it is more susceptible to impact. Making baseboards can better bond the wall and ground firmly, reduce wall deformation, and avoid damage caused by external collision. In addition, the baseboard is also relatively easy to clean, and if dirty water splashes on the floor, cleaning is very convenient. Skirting lines have four main functions: protecting wall corners and making them easy to clean; Closing of walls and floors, covering gaps; Visual balance; Concealed routes. In fact, the main function of baseboards is to cover the gap between the wall and the ground, while other functions are derived during use.
2. Close the gap between the wall and the ground to cover the gap. Both floor tiles and wooden flooring exhibit thermal expansion and contraction, especially wooden flooring, which is prone to expansion and deformation in humid and hot weather. In order to provide space for thermal expansion and contraction of tiles and floors, expansion joints are usually left when the floor is laid to the bottom of the wall. If exposed to gaps, it is not only ugly but also prone to dust accumulation, and at this point, the baseboard is very important. The skirting line serves as the closure between the front and the ground, which can cover the gap between the floor and the wall root.
