Instruction and Description
We offer more than one hundred models of ceramic glazed borders, baseboards and floor decoration.
Baseboard is mainly used in wall foot, normal sizes are 600x120, 600x130 and 800x120mm which could be used to match Ceramic Floor Tile 300x300, 400x400, 450x450mm, also suitable for matching Polished Porcelain Tile 600x600 and 800x800mm.
Besides of using as wall foot, it could also be used as floor border or floor decoration line to divide different areas in a big room.
If you are using Polished Porcelain Tile for floor, a baseboard cut from same Polished Porcelain Tile Collection but in dark color will be a best choice. Cut size could be 100x600, 120x600 or 150x600mm from Original Tile Size 600x600mm or 130x800, 150x800mm from Original Tile Size 800x800mm depends on your taste.
If you are using Rustic Stone or Glazed Porcelain Tile for floor, a baseboard cut from same collection of Tile but in darker color will be the best solution. Cut size is in the same suggestion as Polished Porcelain Tile.
