A Complete Guide to Matching PVC Skirting Boards with Your Flooring
A decorative strip, a Skirting Board, (commonly called the baseboards) is attached at the junction of walls and floors. It is generally made out of metal, plywood, wood, or MDF parts and stretched into long strips along the perimeter of the room. The main function of the baseboard is to protect the bottom of the wall from damage and to cover any loose joints or small gaps between the wall and the floor.
Profiles on Skirting Boards
One of the most important considerations when selecting skirting boards is the profile, or shape, of the board. Skirting board profiles can be simple patterns or more decorative, ornate type profiles. The profile you choose should match the style of your house.
Height of Skirting Board
The height of your floor coverings is crucial for achieving the perfect finish for your room. The higher the skirting the more grandeur and formality it provides, which is why these are usually more suited to older more traditional homes. In modern or minimalist homes, where simplicity is the beauty, shorter skirting boards fit just right.
Choices of Material
Second only to aesthetics, the type of material chosen is also important when choosing skirting boards. Timber will always be the classic and timeless selection, but more recently, MDF skirting panels are trending due to being more affordable and functional.
Color and Finish
Depending on the look you're after (to blend in or stand out), the color and finish of your skirting board can either match your other floors and walls or set themselves apart from them.
