Home Improvement Tips: Skirting Boards vs Ceramic Tiles

Though i wasn't paid to advertise this but its really needed in many homes as some people find it difficult when it comes to decorations and fittings in their new houses so i decided to carry this news. Enjoy and learn.

In most Nigerian homes or projects, pieces from ceramic tiles are used as baseboards (generic method); this is because skirting boards/base boards are seen as dispensable and inessential.

In architecture, a baseboard (also called skirting board, skirting, mopboard, floor molding, as well as base molding) is a board covering the lowest part of an interior wall. Its purpose is to cover the joint between the wall surface and the floor.

It covers the uneven edge of flooring next to the wall;it also protects the wall from kicks, abrasion, and furniture; and gives a wonderful finish to the décor of the room.

Also, skirtings can add a subtle detail to any décor composition – whether sleek and modern, or intricate and traditional; skirting boards add the final finishing touch to any room. At its simplest, baseboard consists of a simple plank nailed, screwed or glued to the wall.
