ABSTRACT:
A kick-molding and drainage system for below grade "floating" platform structures wherein a trench is dug in the ground between vertically extending walls and a concrete floating floor spaced therefrom to form a seepage channel. A plastic or rubber molding strip having a flat vertically disposed body provided with a straight lower edge and a shaped crown along its upper edge. The crown has a flat lower wall and a roof. The rear face of the body is provided with a plurality of vertical ribs that extend outwardly. When installed, the kick-molding is located in the trench so that the flat lower wall of the crown abuts the floor slab, the roof of the crown hides the gravel channel and encloses the same from sight while at the same time, the ribs keep the molding spaced from the wall, thus permitting condensation to seep into the trench by way of the channel and allowing the trench to aerate.
