In home life, the skirting line can not only play a certain decorative effect, but also protect the wall floor from damage to a certain extent and prolong its service life. There are many skirting materials in the market, and you can choose skirting lines of different materials according to different living styles. On the other hand, skirting line is a very easy to ignore part in home decoration, and it is also an inconspicuous part, but it is undeniable that skirting line is also a very important part, there is no skirting line or the setting of skirting line is unreasonable, which easily leads to a lack of vision and function. What does the skirting line look like? What are the materials of skirting line? What material is good for living room skirting line? Let's follow the editor of Pi's door to learn about it.
What does the skirting line look like?
Skirting line is a special word used in decoration. In the bedroom design, concave line, waistline and skirting lines play a visual balance role. Using their linear feeling, materials and colors to echo each other indoors can play a better decorative effect. Another function of skirting line is its protection function. The skirting line, as its name implies, is the wall area that can be kicked, so it is more vulnerable to impact. Making skirting line can better make the combination between the wall and the ground firm, reduce the deformation of the wall and avoid damage caused by external force collision. In addition, the skirting line is relatively easy to scrub. If the mop is splashed with dirty water, scrubbing is very convenient. In addition to its own function of protecting the wall, the skirting line also occupies a considerable proportion in the proportion of home beauty. The skirting line is the contour line of the ground, and the line of sight often falls on it naturally. Generally, the thickness of the skirting line wall in decoration is 5mm-12mm or 8mm-15mm.
Benefits of installing skirting line:
prevent Wall deformation and damage caused by external force collision
in addition to preventing the wall from being soiled, the skirting line set in the House can also make the combination between the wall and the ground more firm and prevent the wall from being deformed and damaged due to external force collision. At the same time, the skirting line is applied with tile stones, etc, it is easy to scrub. For example, when owners often mop the floor, it is easy to splash dirty water on the bottom of the wall, so it is easier to wipe it clean.
Skirting line specification and setting height
in the past decoration, the height of the skirting line was generally about 10cm. In recent years, the height of the skirting line has decreased a little bit. Generally, families use a height of 6.6cm or 7cm, because this can make the interior decoration look more delicate and beautiful.
Decorative drawings are generally subject to 150mm. Common specifications include 800 * 110mm, 600 * 110mm, 1000 * 110mm, etc.
Good home decoration design should have appropriate scale and proportion, such as large room with large furniture, small room with moderate proportion of furniture. The ratio between the height of the skirting line and the spatial scale is also very large. When the space is 2.8 meters, the skirting line is 150mm high. If the space is less than 2.5m, the skirting line is 100mm high.
Skirting line color matching
generally, there are two options:
1. Generally, the color is the same or close to that of door set, which will have an overall feeling. In this case, there is no need to consider what color the door and floor are;
2. It is close to the color of the floor, regardless of the color of the door and door set. The skirting line color is better darker than the floor color, which makes the room have a sense of layering.
Both can be chosen, and both have good effects.
There are mainly two ways to choose the color of tile skirting line: one is approach method and the other is contrast method.
Connection: it is the selection method that the color of the selected skirting line is the same as or close to the color of the floor tile,
contrast method: it is the contrast between the color of the selected skirting line and the color of the floor tile.
For light-colored floor tiles, it is not recommended to choose light-colored skirting lines. It is recommended to choose neutral brown skirting lines.
What are the materials of skirting line?
At present, the most commonly used skirting lines of ceramic tiles are mainly divided into ceramic skirting lines, glass skirting lines, Stone skirting lines, wood skirting lines, PVC baseboard, aluminum alloy floor line, ps polymer skirting lines.
Among them, ceramic skirting lines are divided into glazed tile skirting lines and vitrified brick skirting lines. If you choose ceramic skirting lines, it is generally recommended to choose skirting lines with the same material as floor tiles. If you choose antique brick, you can consider glazed skirting lines. If you choose vitrified brick, you can consider vitrified brick skirting lines. PS polymer is widely used as a substitute for solid wood and stone skirting lines, focusing on high-end effects and mid-end prices.
1. Wooden skirting line
wood skirting line is made of solid wood and density plate, which is very rare. The cost is relatively high and the effect is relatively good. During installation, attention should be paid to the phenomenon of arch formation after climate change.
2. PVC baseboard
pvc baseboard is a cheap substitute for wooden skirting. The appearance is generally imitated by wooden skirting, and the veneer is used to show the effect of wood grain or paint. It is cheap, but the veneer layer may fall off, and the visual effect is also worse than that of wooden skirting.
3. Stainless steel skirting line
the cost of stainless steel skirting line is very high and the installation is relatively complicated, but it is durable and hardly has any trouble of maintenance, but it is generally only suitable for some modern decoration. White, yellow, dark green mixed oil and metal match, stainless steel skirting line or aluminum skirting line, has become a part of this fashion decoration.
4. Tile or stone skirting line
it is durable, but it is generally suitable for rooms with stone or ceramic tiles that are also used on walls.
5. PS polymer skirting line
PS polymer skirting line replaces solid wood skirting line, stainless steel and its stone skirting line, etc. In essence, plastic polymer is used as the main material, and the surface is decorated with wood color or marble texture; The advantages are waterproof, wear-resistant, high grade surface treatment; Cost is higher than PVC and density board skirting line.
6. Wood-plastic skirting line
wood-plastic skirting line is a kind of advanced composite material that is booming at present in China. It refers to the use of polyethylene, polypropylene and polyvinyl chloride instead of common resin adhesives, it is mixed with wood dust over 35-60% to form new wood materials, and then produced by extrusion processing. It is mainly used to replace solid wood skirting line and PVC baseboard.
7. Artificial stone skirting line
artificial Stone manufacturing technology has been improving. According to the difference between adding color paste and particles, it can be seen in the market from light to dark, from plain to color containing particles. Due to the physical and chemical characteristics of artificial stone, the stone skirting line with a length of several meters can achieve seamless spliging in site construction without scar marks, and the vision is smooth curve everywhere. The construction technology is not complicated either. As long as you choose the variety and length of skirting line, the professionals can come to the door and splice it. It is reported that the raw materials of artificial stone skirting line are mainly natural stone powder polyester resin, paste pigment and aluminum hydroxide, so there is no need to worry about the radioactivity of artificial stone skirting line.
8. Glass skirting line
the glass skirting line is made of glass as the main material. After cutting, fine polishing, the surface is sprayed with high-quality imported nano materials. It has crystal clear characteristics and is the best choice for decorations, but the glass skirting line is fragile, and it is somewhat unsafe to use it on the skirting line, especially for families with old people and children. Therefore, the glass skirting line is only loved by those families with extremely heavy decorations.

The editor emphasizes several precautions when decorating the skirting line:
1. The maximum gap between the skirting line and the floor should be less than 3mm. Plug it with a coin of 1 yuan. If more than 2 pieces are inserted, the gap may be too large.
2. Before laying the skirting line, shovel the wall with white cement and then lay skirting board. After laying, pay attention to protecting the skirting line, in case that a large amount of paint sticks to the surface of the foot line during painting or painting, it cannot be cleaned up. It is suggested that after shoveling the cement, the mixture of 107 glue and cement should be brushed on the paving position, and then the brick should be pasted, which can make the brick stick more firmly.
3. Due to the completion of the closing work on the ground, door frame and other projects, although it seems a little cumbersome, the skirting line is still unavoidable in home decoration. The special decorating wood strip skirting line is commonly used, which is wide and narrow, and is very convenient. However, if the family who uses marble or granite to lay the ground, it will be somewhat abrupt to use wooden skirting line or decorative board to close the mouth.
