How to Choose Skirting Boards

Material

The material of skirting boards greatly influences their durability, appearance, and maintenance requirements. Common materials include MDF (Medium-Density Fiberboard), solid wood, PVC, and plaster.

Profile or Style

Skirting boards come in various profiles or styles, from simple and modern to intricate and traditional designs. Consider the architectural style of your home and your personal taste when choosing a skirting board profile. Some popular styles include ogee, bullnose, chamfered, and torus profiles. 

Height and Thickness

The skirting board’s height you choose should complement your room's proportions and ceiling height. Thicker skirting boards tend to be more robust and can create a bolder visual impact.

Finish and Paintability

Skirting boards can come pre-finished or primed for painting. If you prefer a specific colour or finish, opt for skirting boards that are easy to paint and customise. Pre-finished skirting boards may save you time on installation, but primed options allow you to achieve a custom look that matches your interior design.

FAQs on Skirting Boards

What are skirting boards, and what is their purpose?

Skirting boards, also known as baseboards, are protective and decorative moldings that run along the bottom of interior walls. Their primary purpose is to cover the joint between the wall and the floor, enhancing the room's aesthetics while protecting walls from damage and concealing wiring.

Can skirting boards be painted or stained to match my decor?

Yes, skirting boards are easily customisable. You can paint or stain them to match your room's colour scheme. Ensure proper surface preparation for a long-lasting finish.

Do skirting boards have any functional benefits beyond aesthetics?

Apart from aesthetic enhancement, skirting boards provide a barrier against moisture, which can help prevent issues like mold and rot. They also act as insulation, reducing heat loss through the walls. They are an excellent solution for hiding unsightly wires and cables, promoting a neat and tidy environment.

Can skirting boards be used in commercial spaces?

Yes, skirting boards are suitable for both residential and commercial spaces. They offer the same protective and aesthetic benefits in offices, retail stores, and other commercial environments.
