Commercial wall base is installed along the perimeter of a room where the flooring meets the wall. Common options include rubber base, vinyl base, and specialty profiles designed for particular environments. Wall base helps conceal minor gaps at the flooring perimeter and protects the lower portion of the wall from mops, vacuums, carts, cleaning equipment, and foot traffic. It also creates a more complete visual transition between the floor and wall. Different profiles are available for carpet, resilient flooring, tile, and other surfaces. Some products are flexible enough to follow curved walls, while others are designed for straight runs and formed corners. Selection should consider wall conditions, flooring type, cleaning procedures, traffic, chemical exposure, corner details, and the desired appearance.
