Hi,
Not all baseboards are for cosmetic reasons. In homes like mine and the last home I owned I have polished timber floor boards.Often its hard to get the wall and floor to meet perfectly, Some wall panels dont quite meet the floor or some timber floor lengths don’t meet the wall so there are gaps. Thats where the good old baseboards comes in and hides all those problems and stops drafts. The cornice between the wall and ceiling dose the same job as baceboards. regards Noelene
