A baseboard or skirting board is a woodenboard, normally 75mm to 300mm deep, covering the lowest part of an interior wall. Its purpose is to cover the join between the wall surface (usually plaster) and the floor, and to protect the wall from kicks and abrasion.
At its simplest, skirting board consists of a simple plank nailed, screwed or glued to the wall; however particularly in older houses it can be made up of a number of mouldings to provide an elaborate decorative feature. Even today, it is quite common to have a quarter round mould between the baseboard and floor.
A baseboard or skirting board or skirting is a wooden board, normally three inches to 11 inches (75–300 mm) high, covering the lowest part of an interior wall.
Plastic baseboard is usually available in white or a flexible version in several colors and is generally glued to the wall.
Baseboards are sometimes referred to as mop boards, cove molding, or floor molding, as well as base molding.
The baseboard electrical pads 18 and the connector pads 20 are located adjacent the respective edge of the channel 14 and the edge 26 of the baseboard 10.
The baseboard chip mount 35 of this embodiment has formed thereon an elongate metallic conductor 38 which forms a bus to which electrical connection may be made to the backside of the integrated circuit chips 36.
Baseboard electrical pad areas 66 and connector pad areas 68 are opened by conventional techniques within the nitride layer mask 64 to provide for the subsequent formation of connection pads in contact with the terminal ends of the underlying interconnect conductors 60 and 62.
