Selecting the Right Skirting Board

When choosing hardwood skirting boards, consider:

• Room Aesthetics: Match the skirting with the room's style – modern, traditional, minimalist, etc.
• Finish: Decide between pre-finished (requiring no additional work) and unfinished or primed (for custom finishes).
• Material Durability: Oak veneered options offer durability and a classic look.
• Profile Style: Consider the impact of different profiles like Ogee, Chamfered, or Modern, on the overall room design.

 Benefits of Wood Skirting Boards

• Protection & Durability: Wood skirting boards shield plaster and paint from everyday knocks, vacuum bumps, and furniture scuffs.
• Aesthetic Appeal: Wood skirting boards add architectural interest—whether you prefer the elegance of Ogee curves or the simplicity of square edges.
• Versatility: Wood skirting boards accept paint, stain or clear lacquer so you can match any décor or flooring.
• Easy Upgrades: Wood skirting boards can be sanded, repainted or refinished to refresh a room without major renovation.

Applications

Wood skirting is ideal for:

• Living areas & bedrooms: Skirting boards are used in a neat, continuous line that ties wall and floor finishes together.
• Hallways & kitchens: Skirting boards are used in High-traffic zones where extra wall protection is essential.
• Renovations & new builds: Skirting boards are used in a neat way. They work equally well in period properties and modern homes.

Installation Tips

• Acclimatise First: Store boards flat in the room for 48 hours to adjust to the temperature and humidity.
• Measure & Cut Carefully: Use a fine-tooth saw and mitre joints for neat corners.
• Fixing: Apply grab adhesive and secure with pins or screws into studs where possible.
• Finishing Touches: Fill nail holes, caulk the top edge, and sand lightly before final painting or sealing.
• Maintenance: Simply wipe clean and repaint or re-oil when redecorating.
