English
Sevillian baseboard cladding is a type of wall decoration that consists of using ceramic tiles typical of the Seville region to cover the wall at the bottom.
These tiles usually have floral, geometric, or historical motif designs, and are used to create a traditional and colorful look on interior walls.
Seville skirting boards are traditionally used in Andalusian houses to protect the walls from moisture and traffic. The lower part of the wall is covered with tiles and the upper part is painted with lime, creating a visual and functional contrast.
However, nowadays Seville skirting boards are mainly used for decorative purposes and are combined with other wall covering materials. As for the installation of the Sevillian plinths, a masonry technique is usually used in which the tiles are placed on a layer of mortar or adhesive. It is important to properly prepare the wall surface before installation, as Seville skirting boards should not be installed on damp walls or walls that present moisture problems.
