Skirting board

The invention relates to a skirting board which essentially consists of a base body made of wood material with a linoleum layer on the visible side.

Skirting boards made of wood have been around for a long time and can have a wide variety of shapes, for example as a quarter round or as a board with a rectangular cross-section.

Although such wooden skirting boards can be manufactured very inexpensively using modern machines, they have been and are being increasingly replaced by skirting boards made from other materials. In particular, it is known to make such skirting boards entirely from linoleum or in combination with plastic or aluminum parts.

Such linoleum skirting boards have the advantage that they can be combined with linoleum floors in a uniform color and pattern, which creates a good overall impression of a room equipped with them.

This results in special features in the formation of the corner enclosed by the floor area on the one hand and the adjoining wall area on the other.

Problems that are solved in different ways. The Unoleum skirting strips can be designed separately from the linoleum floor, but on the other hand the linoleum floor can also be extended up the wall as a linoleum skirting strip in the corner area if the dimensions are exact. Among other things, it is necessary to stabilize the corner formed by the raised linoleum by means of support elements arranged behind it.

Overall, such linoleum skirting board solutions are very complex, both in terms of material costs and the difficult and time-consuming production.

The object of the invention is therefore to produce skirting boards from an inexpensive material, which are completely covered with linoleum on their visible side, so that they create a uniform overall impression together with the floor, which is also covered with linoleum, but can be produced more cheaply than the known linoleum skirting strips and are as easy to install as the known skirting boards made of wood.

This task is solved by the fact that in a skirting board of the type mentioned above, the base body is preferably made of wood fiberboard and the linoleum layer completely covers the visible side, starting at the edge of the upper, horizontal or beveled visible surface that is adjacent to the wall, continuing over the transition curve from the upper to the vertical visible surface to the edge of the vertical visible surface that is adjacent to the floor.

Through this design of the skirting board according to the invention, but in particular through the arrangement of a base body made from an inexpensive wood material, the wall finish of a floor covered with linoleum can be manufactured in the desired manner simply and inexpensively. In addition, the entire visible side of the skirting board is coated with linoleum, so that together with the floor covered with linoleum a uniform overall impression is created.

In an advantageous development of the skirting board described above, the lower surface resting on the floor is sealed against the effects of moisture.
This measure protects in particular the base body made of wood fibreboard against moisture penetration and thus against swelling.

Finally, the lower surface can be bevelled, starting from the linoleum layer and rising backwards to the back that is adjacent to the wall. This design ensures that the skirting board sits flush with the lower edge of the linoleum layer on the floor, even if the floor is slightly uneven.

A non-limiting embodiment of the invention is described below with reference to the single drawing.

The skirting board 1 essentially consists of a base body 2 made of wood fiber board and a linoleum layer 3 on its visible side, which is visible from the room. The base body 2 is designed as a board of a certain thickness, width and length, and its back 4 opposite the visible side rests against the wall 5. The linoleum layer 3 on the visible side of the base body 2 covers it completely, starting at the edge 6 of the upper horizontal or beveled visible surface 7 that is adjacent to the wall, continuing over the transition curve 8 from the upper to the vertical visible surface 9 to the edge 11 of the vertical visible surface 9 that adjoins the floor 10.

The lower surface 12 facing the floor 10 is formed at an angle, namely starting from the linoleum layer 3 and rising backwards to the rear side 4 adjacent to the wall 5.

In addition, the skirting board 1 can have a cove 13 in this area.

Such a cove 13 can compensate for unevenness in the immediate corner area 14 between floor 10 and wall 5.

Claims (3)

Attorney file: Gbm 2641/3 Date: &ldquor; <J. ßi. 35 Protection claims 1. Skirting board, essentially consisting of a base body made of wood material with a linoleum layer provided on the visible side, characterized in that the base body (2) is preferably made of wood fiber board and that the linoleum layer (3) completely covers the visible side, starting at the edge (6) of the upper, horizontal or beveled visible surface (7) adjacent to the wall (5), continuously over the transition curve (8) from the upper to the vertical visible surface (9) up to the edge (11) of the vertical visible surface (9) adjacent to the floor (10). 2. Skirting board according to claim 1, characterized in that the lower surface (12) resting on the floor (10) is sealed against the effects of moisture. 3. Skirting board according to claim 2, characterized in that the lower surface (12) is bevelled, namely starting from the linoleum layer (3) rising backwards to the rear side (4) resting against the wall (5).
