What is a "baseboard"?
A baseboard is a narrow, flat piece of wood or other material that is attached along the bottom edge of a wall, where the wall meets the floor. It helps cover the gap between the wall and the floor, giving the room a neat, finished look. Baseboards also protect the wall from damage that might occur from cleaning or everyday wear and tear. They are often installed in homes and buildings to create a clean separation between the floor and the walls, and they can be simple or decorative depending on the style of the room.
