All Brand 4 Inch Wall Base
4 inch wall base molding is often made of rubber and vinyl or rubber-vinyl blends. Vinyl baseboards and rubber/vinyl mixed wall base is a great option if your looking for an inexpensive way to add protection to your walls. However, rubber is more flexible compared to vinyl base board molding. For example, Burke cove base with toe or straight toeless wall base without toe is also made of rubber providing more flexibility and resilient qualities. Rubber floor base has a more dull matte finish on the surface, whereas vinyl is more shiny.

Straight or base with no-toe is often used for carpet installation. Cove base molding is best applied in vinyl, laminate and tiled floors. Retail stores also like cove base because it makes cleaning or maintenance simple and fast. The wall molding protects the lower portion of the wall but it also offers an accent to any room that separates the floor from the wall. Rubber wall molding is popular for having the ability to be molded and shaped in and out of corners. Glue is required and can be applied with a caulking gun or putty knife. We recommend using a 30 oz cartridge and an oversize caulking gun to apply adhesive to base and wall. A 3 or 5 hole nozzle will also help you spread the adhesive on to the backing of the base before pressing firmly on the wall.

Tip: Try scoring the back of the floor molding material on corners to make the base fit firmly against the wall. Flexco floor base or Roppe cove base is a great option for apartments, condos and other residential living spaces.
