Abstract:
A wall base system securable to a wall surface, the wall base system comprising an elongate strip of carpeting having a front and a substantially planar back surface, a plurality of elongate substantially continuous spaced-apart strips of substantially continuous double-sided polyacrylic adhesive tape adhesively secured to the back surface of the carpeting strip so as to be placeable flat against the wall surface, the wall base system being substantially adjustable when placed against the wall surface during installation so as to permit desired adjustment of the position of the wall base system during installation and thereafter being pressable in intimate contact with the wall surface to adhere the carpeting strip to the wall surface such that the wall base system remains in a substantially flat, planar configuration parallel to the wall surface without tending to separate from the wall surface over time and without sagging, wrinkling or puckering of the carpeting strip relative to the wall, and a release liner covering the strips, the strips being spaced apart by a distance of from about 1 inch to about 2 inches.
