Architecture / interior design
Spanish term or phrase: zocalado
"El precio del rodapié es por unidad, ya que normalmente se vende este rodapié en el conjunto de la zocalada."

This is a document about natural stone products. I imagine the zocalada is a larger portion of stone paneling than just the skirting board, but can't think of a name in English that would be appropriate.

Fabulous! Yes, I think that's it. I had thought of "wainscoting", but rejected it as it makes me think of wood rather than stone.

Sorry, I didn't specify that I need British English. In any case, "baseboard" (Am) and "skirting board" (Br) are the same thing, as can be "rodapie" and "zocalo", hence my problem! Thanks anyway.
