Two-part separable base molding

A two-part base molding system comprising:

• a mounting portion including solid upper and lower portions vertically spaced from one another, a plurality of fastener openings being formed within the mounting portion and positioned at the vertical space between the upper and lower solid portions, the upper mounting portion including a first continuous mounting engaging element extending therefrom, and the lower portion including a second continuous mounting engaging element extending therefrom, the mounting portion having an outer surface, and the first and second continuous mounting engaging elements having inner and outer surfaces;
• and
• a molding portion including first and second sets of discrete molding engaging elements extending therefrom, the first and second sets being vertically spaced from one another, the molding portion having an outer surface, and each element of the first and second sets of discrete molding engaging elements having inner and outer surfaces;
• wherein when the molding portion is mounted to the mounting portion, the inner surfaces of the first and second mounting and molding engaging elements substantially abut one another, and the outer surfaces of the first and second mounting engaging elements substantially abut the rear surface of the molding portion.
