Default Proper height of Baseboard

Getting ready to have carpet installed and I want to know the proper
height to install the baseboard from the floor (Short shag or berber).
I have seen this question posted before, but I don't believe a
definitive answer was given.

The best advice the other articles gave was to ask the carpet
installer. We had the sales guy here the other day to measure up the
floor space, and I ask what height he would recommend. But he really
didn't have an answer. He pointed to the wallboard that I left up 1/2"
from the floor and stated that that would be plenty.

I thought that the industry would have a standard ?

Thanks


Use your head. You want air flow across the floor and up through the
baseboard. More space is better than less.
