The baseboard arrangement includes a fairing unit, which is used in conjunction with a baseboard member of the type comprised of a flat foot portion adapted to lie flat against a floor surface and a vertical wall-facing portion adapted to lie flat against the meeting wall surfaces of a projecting corner of a room or corridor, for example. The flat foot portion of the baseboard member is slitted in direction transverse to the elongation of the baseboard member, with the slit terminating at the vertical wall-facing portion of the baseboard member. Accordingly, the baseboard member, at the region of such slit, can be bent around the projecting corner, thereby causing the slit to spread and form a larger corner gap. The fairing unit includes two flat leg portions adapted to lie flat against the floor surface along the meeting walls of the projecting corner, underneath part of the foot portion of the baseboard member, and these leg portions enclose a substantially right angle. The fairing unit is furthermore comprised of a raised corner portion adapted to fill the corner gap in the bent baseboard member, and at least one vertical wall-facing portion adapted to lie flat against at least one of the meeting wall surfaces of the projecting corner, behind part of the vertical wall-facing portion of the baseboard member, and is connected to at least one of the leg portions along the inner edge of such leg portion.
In a baseboard arrangement, a synthetic plastic fairing unit for use in conjunction with a synthetic plastic baseboard member of the type comprised of a flat foot portion adapted to lie flat against a floor surface and a vertical wall-facing portion adapted to lie flat against the meeting wall surfaces of a projecting corner and slitted all the way through along the flat foot portion in direction transverse to the elongation of the baseboard member so that the baseboard member at the region of such slit can be bent around such projecting corner thereby causing the slit to spread and form a larger corner gap, the fairing unit comprising two flat leg portions adapted to lie flat against a floor surface along the meeting walls of a projecting corner underneath part of the foot portion of the baseboard member and enclosing between themselves a substantially right angle, a raised corner portion adapted to fill the corner gap in the bent baseboard member, and at least one vertical wall-facing portion adapted to lie flat against at least one of the meeting wall surfaces of a projecting corner behind part of the vertical wall-facing portion of the baseboard member and being connected to at least one of said leg portions along the inner edge portion of such leg portion. adapted to lie flat against a floor surface and a vertical wall-facing portion adapted to lie flat against the meeting wall surfaces of a projecting corner, the flat foot portion being slitted all the way through in direction transverse to the elongation of the baseboard member, the slit terminating at the vertical wall-facing portion of the baseboard member, and the baseboard member being bent at the region of said slit with said slit spread out to form a larger corner gap filled in by said raised corner portion of said fairing unit.
In a baseboard arrangement, in combination, a synthetic plastic baseboard member comprised of a flat foot portion adapted to lie against a floor surface and a vertical wall-facing portion adapted to lie flat against the meeting wall surfaces of a projecting corner and slitted all the way through along the flat foot portion in direction transverse to the elongation of the baseboard member with the baseboard member at the region of such slit being bent for placement around such projecting corner so that the slit is spread and forms a corner gap;
