Can you tell me what the walls are made of? I notice there is no molding and a crease has been added towards the bottom of the wall. What is the purpose of the crease?
The upper portion of the wall (above the reveal) is painted gypsum board. Below the reveal is painted MDF. The purpose of changing to MDF below the reveal is two fold: 1. it offers a wearable base (picture the vacuum cleaner banging into the wall, 2. And the second purpose of having a base is to allow for the hardwood flooring to expand and contract.
