Golvlister

Golvlister, also known as baseboards or skirting boards, are strips of material, typically wood, MDF, or plastic, installed at the junction where a wall meets the floor. Their primary function is to conceal the gap that often exists between the wall and the floor due to unevenness or the natural expansion and contraction of building materials. This gap is created during the installation of flooring, and the golvlister provides a clean and finished appearance.

Beyond their practical purpose of hiding imperfections, golvlister also serve an aesthetic role. They add a decorative element to a room, framing the space and contributing to the overall interior design. The profile and material of the golvlister can significantly influence the style of the room, ranging from simple, modern designs to ornate, traditional ones.

Golvlister also offer protection to the lower part of the wall. They act as a barrier against scuffs and marks from vacuum cleaners, furniture, and everyday foot traffic. In some cases, particularly in older buildings, they can also help to prevent drafts by sealing the gap at the floor level. Installation typically involves nailing or gluing the golvlister to the wall studs and the floor. The choice of material and design depends on factors such as budget, desired aesthetic, and the type of flooring used.
