Nick, fix your article. There is no 2007 IBC, you must be referencing the 2006 IBC which states:

SECTION 1210
SURROUNDING MATERIALS
1210.1 Floors.
In other than dwelling units, toilet and bathing
room floors shall have a smooth, hard, nonabsorbent surface

that extends upward onto the walls at least 6 inches (152 mm).

The surface must extend 6" up the wall, not 4"
