🔹 What is a Cove Base?

Cove base—sometimes called wall base or base molding—serves both a protective and decorative purpose. It bridges the joint between the floor and wall, shielding walls from damage caused by foot traffic, cleaning equipment, and moisture.
In commercial settings, cove base not only enhances appearance but also ensures a seamless transition that meets building codes and design standards.
