In architecture, a baseboard (also called skirting board, skirting, wainscoting, mopboard, trim, floor molding, or base molding) is usually wooden, MDF or vinyl board covering the lowest part of an interior wall. Its purpose is to cover the joint between the wall surface and the floor.
A baseboard is the finishing trim that runs along the bottom of interior walls. It hides the gap between the wall surface and the flooring, protects walls from dings and mops, and visually frames a room.
