Abstract
A two-part base molding system for mounting a wall base molding to a wall adjacent a floor includes a mounting portion and a separable base molding portion. The mounting portion is mountable to the wall adjacent the floor. The mounting portion defines a main body portion having a top edge and includes a plurality of engaging elements extending transversely from the main body portion. The engaging elements of at least one pair of the elements are arrayed in spaced vertical relation to one another. Each engaging element defines an engaging surface spaced from the main body portion. The molding portion is removably mounted to the mounting portion, and includes a main body portion having at least two engaging elements extending transversely therefrom. The engaging elements are vertically spaced from one another and include an engaging surface configured for engagement with the mounting portion engaging elements. The molding portion engages the mounting portion, with the engaging surfaces secured to one another, to mount the molding to the mount. The molding portion includes an upper inwardly curved portion integral with and extending from the main body portion that extends over the mounting portion top edge to abut the wall when the molding portion is mounted to the mounting portion.
