In order to protect the inner and outer walls of the house, the buildings are generally equipped with wall skirts. The wall skirt is different from inside and outside. The outside wall skirt is called the outer wall skirt, and the indoor wall skirt is called the inner wall skirt. The outer wall skirt is to prevent the underground muddy water from directly invading the outer wall; the inner wall skirt is to prevent mechanical oil pollution during production and the pollution of the indoor white wall during cleaning.

The part of the lower part of the outer wall that is close to the outdoor floor, protruding from the thickened part of the wall, is called legging (exterior wall skirt).

The moving feet are easily soaked by ground rain, snow, and water, and are also susceptible to chemical erosion by collision and groundwater. If they are not protected, the wall will be wet and the wall will weather and fall off. If it penetrates into the room, the interior wall plaster will fall off, affecting the firmness, beauty, and durability of the building. Therefore, in this part, the protection settings should be strengthened. There are two methods:

First, the more convenient way is to use cement stucco on the wall to make the foot restraint, and its height is about 300-500 mm (but not lower than the indoor floor), or it is flush with the window sill line.

Second, in order to make the facade beautiful and make the building have a sense of stability and solemnity, it can be thickened at the bottom of the wall to protrude from the outer wall by 60-120 mm. Its height can be from under the window sill to 1 to 2 floors (for high-rise buildings). It mainly depends on the whole facade shape. If you want to thicken the wall, it also depends on whether there is any material that needs to be used in the structure. The easiest is to paint with 1:2.5 cement mortar with a thickness of 20 to 25 mm. Stone, cut fake stone, cylinder brick, marble and other high-grade veneer materials, what to choose depends on the façade materials and the nature of the building.

Indoor walls and ceilings are generally painted in white and bright colors. In order to prevent pollution when cleaning the floor and painting, or human feet, tools, and equipment colliding with the wall, often in the lower part of the building around the floor, where the ground and the foot of the wall intersect, set up anti-corrosion. The dirty and wear-resistant facilities are called inner wall skirts. In terms of their height, the inner wall skirts are divided into two types: skirting lines and table heights:

(1) Skirting line (also called skirting board).

In ordinary rooms or workshops, the height of the wall skirt to protect the clean wall can be made about 150 mm (about 120 to 180 mm). This kind of low wall skirt is called a skirting line, and its thickness should protrude 5-10 mm from the painted surface of the inner wall. The baseboard material is generally the same as the ground material used.

(2) Degree

The platform is the heightening of the skirting line, and its function is the same as that of the skirting line barrel. It is installed in the rooms where water is often used (such as toilets, toilets, bathrooms, kitchens, wheat washing workshops), and workshops to be cleaned or stained (milling rooms, rice-making rooms, wire drawing rooms, and various workshops in oil and fat factories); and Decorative places (e.g. foyer, meeting room), etc.

The materials and practices of the inner wall skirt (skirting and platform) are generally the same as the surface materials of the floor and ground they are connected to, except that the floor and the ground are horizontal, and the skirting and the platform are vertical. true direction. The materials used include wood board, paint, cement mortar, terrazzo, as well as ceramic tile, dog marble, plastic veneer, etc.
