Plastic plinth is used for hiding splits between floor covering: linoleum, carpet, parquet, laminated flooring boards or other coverings and walls. But nowadays up-to-date technologies of laying floor coverings make the splits more and more narrow, so, which means plinth is becoming thinner, too. The minimal width of plinth is 10 mm. It's width is still necessary for parquet floors, because, according to the technology of parquet laying, the technical gap between the floor and the wall can reach two centimetres (it depends on the area of parquet floor).
Besides that, plastic plinth is also used for protection of walls from shock and moist during wet and dry cleaning, protects from shocks by vacuum cleaners, feet or furniture.
