Flush base in modern architecture

Modern baseboard

A flush recessed baseboard, sometimes called a skirting board, is a unique wall detail increasingly popular in contemporary architecture. Combined with concealed door jambs, the flush base has become the sought-after design standard in North American residential construction.

Hard-wearing skirting profile

We designed the aluminum extrusion profile of the Dorsis Linus flush baseboard for ½" or ⅝" drywall applications. The minimum flush baseboard height is 2-¼", with an option to go up to 4".

Broad selection of finishes

You will have complete freedom in material selection for your baseboard. The insert can be an MDF baseboard painted in the wall color or contrasting color, but you can also use hardwood board, tile, or Corian.
