The Minileiste strip can partially protect the wall , but the main protection is provided by washable and scrubbable paints , which are commonly used today. However, if this is not enough, special base profiles are available that overlap the wall and provide additional protection. The SL16 profile with a height of 2 cm is an excellent solution. It effectively protects the wall from dirt from flat or steam mops such as Vileda and classic vacuum cleaners such as Karcher or some cleaning robots. In the case of flat strips , it is recommended to paint the wall with a paint resistant to cleaning before installation, so that any dirt can be easily removed if necessary.
