►Baseboard Using Tips

If you are using Polished Porcelain Tile for floor, a baseboard cut from same Polished Porcelain Tile Collection but in dark color will be a best choice. Cut size could be 100x600, 120x600 or 150x600mm from Original Tile Size 600x600mm or 130x800, 150x800mm from Original Tile Size 800x800mm depends on your taste.

If you are using Rustic Stone or Glazed Porcelain Tile for floor, a baseboard cut from same collection of Tile but in darker color will be the best solution. Cut size is in the same suggestion as Polished Porcelain Tile.
