Schluter Expands Designbase-SL Product Line for Commercial Buildings
Baseboards in commercial buildings must be durable and attractive, and often need to meet specific code and hygienic requirements. Schluter-Systems has expanded its line of Schluter-Designbase-SL top-set wall baseboards that provide a modern alternative to traditional baseboards for commercial buildings and condominiums. The product line now includes a brushed stainless steel option, in heights of 4-3/8” (110 mm) and 6-3/8” (160 mm), which exceed code requirements in a wide range of facilities including healthcare, commercial kitchens and bathrooms, and airports.
These new heights are ideal for covering previous baseboard marks, making replacement projects faster, easier, and more attractive. Both new heights, in combination with the cove profile of the baseboard, exceed the code requirements for commercial applications, so specifiers and installers can be confident in their compliance, especially where sanitation is a concern. Because it is made of metal, Designbase-SL provides added durability and won’t crack or shrink over time, eliminating a common problem with many commercial baseboards. Designbase-SL also offers cost-savings over custom fabricated baseboards.
