Base is the wood molding that is attached to the bottom of the wall next to the floor. This base molding also goes against the casing in a 90 degree angle. The base molding generally is slightly thinner than the casing, to allow for a better finished look.Base is the wood molding used to cover up the gap that occurs between the wall bottoms and floor. The baseboard gives the room an impression of solidity, while protecting the walls from kicks, vacuum cleaner and furniture scrapes and bumps. Baseboard, base trim, whatever term that you may choose, base molding can be found in almost every room of every home that has been built since the 18th century. Influenced by the architectural design of the Greek and Roman period, the base molding represents what would have been considered a part of the pedestal in that design. Base molding not only serves function, but appearance as well.
Base molding applications can be done as a simple, single piece, or you may choose to go with a more elaborate scheme. A quarter round or base shoe, as it is also known, may be installed along the bottom edge, where the base meets the floor. And, or, a cap (base cap)may be added to the top of the base.
As with all trim, base trim is offered in a wide variety of sizes and profiles. The size of the room and height of the ceiling usually dictate the trim widths. With the installation of base molding you will be adding personality and value to your home Our base moldings are available in nine standard styles and sizes. Base is normally sold in random lengths, using longer lengths in areas that are more easily seen, and the shorter lengths in in closets, short walls, and other areas. We try to maximize the lengths to our customers on orders. Base is frequently installed raised off the floor to allow for carpet or wood flooring, etc. This also allows more of the base to be seen. Base is normally available up to 12' lengths. On 14-16' lengths, there is a 25% penalty on shipping by truck due to length.
