I am about to put in new baseboard around my basement walls. The floor will

the baseboard mounted 1/4" above floor level, rather than flush with the
floor.

Is that correct, or should I just make it flush with the floor?

Thanks!

I'd keep it up about 1/4" or so. Remember that you need to put your
finish floor down and that your base boards work on convertion. You
need air flow from the bottom of the base board over your elements.
