Abstract

La boiserie intérieure interverrouillable (20) selon l'invention est un système de plinthe modulaire qui peut être installé sans utiliser d'outils ni de matériaux spécialisés. Les sections de plinthe (30, 40, 50) sont empilables, et se raccordent l'une à l'autre sans être fixées au mur (W). Cette boiserie interverrouillable (20) peut être utilisée autour des murs d'une pièce ou le long d'un escalier. Lors de l'utilisation le long d'un escalier, les sections (30, 40, 50) sont découpées selon un angle pour permettre au système de suivre la pente des marches.
