Skirting profile

Abstract

Skirting profile ( 1 ) for transition between wall ( 10 ) and preferably floating floors ( 20 ). The skirting profile ( 1 ) includes a channel ( 2 ), which channel ( 2 ) is intended for hiding and holding cables and the like in place. The channel ( 2 ) extends parallel to the skirting profile ( 1 ) and is open on the upper side of the skirting profile ( 1 ) as well as backwards to the wall ( 10 ). A cheek ( 5 ) is formed as an extension upwards of the front side ( 3 ), between which check ( 5 ) the channel ( 2 ) is formed. The front side ( 3 ) is provided with a thin decorative and resilient laminate ( 7 ) which extends from the lower edge of the front side ( 3 ) to and beyond the rounded edge ( 6 ) of the cheek ( 5 ) to or beyond a vertical surface being a tangent of the rear side ( 4 ). Cables and the like can be placed in the channel ( 2 ) of a skirting profile ( 1 ) mounted on a wall ( 10 ) by bending the resilient decorative laminate ( 7 ) out from the wall ( 10 ) whereby the cable and the like can be inserted whereby the laminate ( 7 ) can flex hack and again connect with the wall ( 10 ).

1 . Skirting profile ( 1 ) for transition between wall ( 10 ) and preferably floating floors ( 20 ), which skirting profile ( 1 ) includes a channel ( 2 ), which channel ( 2 ) is intended for hiding and holding cables and the like in place, characterised in that the skirting profile ( 1 ) is provide with a front side ( 3 ) and a rear side ( 4 ), that the channel ( 2 ) extends parallel to the skirting profile ( 1 ) and is open on the upper side of the skirting profile ( 1 ) as well as backwards to the wall ( 10 ), that a cheek ( 5 ) is formed as an extension upwards of the front side ( 3 ), between which cheek ( 5 ) the channel ( 2 ) is formed, that the upper edge ( 6 ) of the cheek ( 5 ) is rounded off, that the front side ( 3 ) is provided with a thin decorative and resilient laminate ( 7 ) which extends from the lower edge of the front side ( 3 ) to and beyond the rounded edge ( 6 ) of the cheek ( 5 ) to or beyond a vertical surface being a tangent of the rear side ( 4 ), whereby cables and the like can be placed in the channel ( 2 ) of a skirting profile ( 1 ) mounted on a wall ( 10 ) by bending the resilient decorative laminate ( 7 ) out from the wall ( 10 ) whereby the cable and the like can be inserted whereby the laminate ( 7 ) can flex back and again connect with the wall ( 10 ).  
     
     
         2 . Skirting profile ( 1 ) according to  claim 1 , characterised in that the resilient decorative laminate is constituted by at least one decorative sheet, preferably of α-cellulose impregnated with melamine-formaldehyde resin and an underlying support sheet of a thermoplastic material, preferably a polyolefin.  
     
     
         3 . Skirting profile ( 1 ) according the  claim 2 , characterised in that the resilient decorative laminate also comprises one or more so-called overlay sheets of α-cellulose impregnated with melamine-formaldehyde resin which are place in front of the decor sheet.  
     
     
         4 . Skirting profile according to  claim 1 , characterised in that the resilient decorative laminate has a wear resistance measured as IP>3000 turns.
