Robert Yes, cork sheet, painted light grey. Why? Sound deadening properties (track affixed directly to wood will make running noisier), plus it helps smooth out any lumps and bumps in the baseboard surface (especially at joints). They shouldn't be there in the first place of course; but, with the best will in the world ... No doubt others will have their own preferred approach; the above is mine.

Thought it might be some sort of flooring material. Ive often used cork for the purposes you suggest. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
