How was Finlip, the first rollable floor closure, designed?
Finlip was developed in collaboration with the company AGS-systems srl The company has been manufacturing aluminum systems for minimalist interior design for almost 20 years and distributes them in over 50 countries. A few years ago, some markets recognized the trend away from baseboards in interior design and toward minimalist solutions (e.g., silicone joints). Today, the use of silicone to finish high-quality floors is common in most countries. After many discussions about the advantages and disadvantages of silicone joints and similar solutions, Finlip was developed in collaboration with customers, partners, and suppliers until it was ready for the market and is now sold by the company of the same name.

For a perfect result, we recommend walls that are as straight as possible and smoothly plastered. Minor irregularities can easily be compensated for with FINLIP, while larger uneven areas should be corrected before installation.
Can moisture get behind FINLIP?
FINLIP is designed for use in dry indoor environments. When installed correctly, FINLIP creates a clean finish between the wall and floor and minimises the risk of moisture getting behind it. As with any floor-to-wall connection, standing water should be avoided and any spills should be removed promptly.

Yes. FINLIP has a very low profile and, in most cases, does not interfere with placing furniture directly against the wall.

Yes. Dogs and cats can use areas with FINLIP without any issues in everyday life. Normal wear and tear caused by pets does not pose a problem.
Why should I choose FINLIP instead of a traditional skirting board?
FINLIP creates a modern, minimalist look without a surface-mounted skirting board. Furniture can be positioned flush against the wall, while the room appears calmer, cleaner and more architecturally refined.
Is FINLIP more complicated to install than a conventional skirting board?
No – quite the opposite. Installation is simple and quick. As with any installation, careful planning is required, and FINLIP should be taken into account when the flooring is being installed. For a professional installer, however, the installation is straightforward and delivers a high-quality, long-lasting result.

FINLIP can be precisely adapted to both inside and outside corners. The supplied cutting template allows for accurate cuts, ensuring a clean and precise finish.
