Skirting board height

The skirting line is easily overlooked in the decoration of the room, but it is a very important part, because the skirting line not only beautifies the visual balance, but also protects the wall surface to a certain extent, making the corner and the ground more closely combined, reducing deformation and facilitating cleaning and scrubbing. But in fact, in addition to the material, we should also pay attention to the height of the skirting line, so how much is the height of the skirting line more appropriate?

Floor heights of different materials

Tile skirting board

The height of tile skirting line is generally 10cm, but in recent years, in order to make the indoor wall look more delicate, especially for small-sized houses, the height of the ground is generally not too high, so many family decorations have reduced the height of tile skirting line to 7cm.

Stone skirting

There are two kinds of stone baseboard: low baseboard and high baseboard.

The low kicking height is generally 8- 10cm, and the high kicking height is generally 15-25cm. Low skirting line is suitable for ordinary family decoration, while high skirting line is generally used in public buildings with higher floors, such as hotel lobby, so low skirting line in general rooms will be more popular.

Wooden skirting board

Wooden baseboard is also commonly used in home decoration. The wooden baseboard can be made and installed by itself, so the height can be determined according to the specific decoration style and room form.

Of course, you can also buy finished products. The height of finished wooden skirting line is generally 8cm. If you choose the baseboard of MDF, the height is generally between 7.5 and 8 cm.

Other materials, skirting board

In addition to the above three skirting lines, commonly used skirting lines include stainless steel, glass, PVC and paint. The height of the skirting line of these materials is generally 10cm, which can also be customized by yourself, so the height can be arbitrary.

The height of the baseboard is related to the height of the floor.

In fact, the height of the skirting line has a great relationship with the height of the house, which is designed in proportion and has a great relationship with the spatial scale.

If the height of the building reaches 3m, the height of the skirting line can be15cm; When the floor height is less than 2.5m, the height of the skirting line should be reduced appropriately, and should not be higher than 10cm.

Nowadays, in order to make the living room look taller, many families will lower the skirting line of the original 10cm height to 7-8.5cm, which is really beautiful and makes the wall ratio look more beautiful and harmonious.

What is the height of the baseboard?

In order to get a good visual effect, the height of the skirting line in room decoration is generally 8- 12cm, which will look better. If the height of the baseboard is less than 8cm, the spatial proportion will be asymmetrical and ugly. Even if the indoor floor height is low, the height of the skirting line should not be less than 7cm. If the height of the skirting line is higher than 12cm, it will be too eye-catching and unsightly.

So the height of the baseboard is very important. If the size control is not good, it will affect the visual height of the bedroom space, so the decoration effect is very unsightly.

Besides the height, what size should the baseboard pay attention to?

Wall thickness of skirting line

The skirting line not only protects the wall, but also greatly shapes the aesthetics of the room. The skirting line is equivalent to the contour line of the ground. When people are indoors, the line of sight will naturally fall on the skirting line, so the thickness of the skirting line should not be too small or too large, because it will hinder the impression.

In home decoration, the wall thickness of the skirting line is generally 5-12 mm. In some large public spaces, the wall thickness of the skirting line is generally 8mm- 15mm because of the height of the floor and the skirting line.

Maximum distance between skirting line and ground joint.

When the baseboard is installed, there should be a gap with the ground. This is to prevent the ground from hollowing and cracking in the later period. The maximum distance between the baseboard and the floor is less than 3 mm, and coins of 1 yuan can be used to plug into the gap. If more than two coins 1 yuan can be inserted, it means that the distance is too large and needs to be repaired.

If the gap is not too big, you can fill it with glass glue and then smooth it with your fingers.

If the gap is large, it needs to be filled with foaming agent and then smoothed with white ash. It can also be filled by painters with the same color as the baseboard, but this general density is not very good;

If the gap is too big, you can only ask the merchants to change and adjust the baseboard.

Therefore, it is not necessary to choose the appropriate material for the skirting line according to the style, but also pay attention to the height of the skirting line, the thickness of the wall, and the distance between the skirting line and the ground. These are very important dimensions, because they have a great impact on the visual impression of the room and the protection of the ground, especially the distance between the skirting line and the ground. The size should be controlled. If it is too small, it can't guarantee a certain flexibility to the ground, but if it is too big, it will affect the wall.
