Square edge skirting is a sleek, minimalist design for a modern look.

Torus skirting is ideal for a traditional space or a home interior with minimal decor and plenty of focus on the foundational materials.

Ogee skirting looks rather like it was built with Grecian pillars in mind, owing to its tall profile with a subtle rounded structure towards the top of the skirting. A low intensity addition to a modern home.

Pencil round skirting is also known as ‘bullnose’ or ‘round one edge’, it features a soft, rounded top edge for a clean yet subtle look.

Lambs tongue skirting boasts a staggered side profile with angular edges, which create a refined border around the outskirts of your room.

Chamfered skirting makes for a modern, contemporary, minimalist style.

Ovolo skirting is the next step away from one of the classic square edged standard profiles. The light curve towards the top of the skirting serves to soften the room slightly.

Our bespoke skirtings are an extensive range of different styles to choose from or to create from a CAD drawing or physical sample.

Oak Skirting Board FAQs
Is oak a good choice for skirting boards?

With oak a renowned material used in all sorts of interior and exterior projects, oak skirting boards are both durable and aesthetically pleasing and attractive to look at. Offering a premium look which can easily compliment the surrounding space, oak skirting boards will withstand the test of time and protect your walls as well as the look of your home.

What is the best finish for oak skirting boards?

In terms of protecting and sealing your oak skirting boards, it is up to homeowners how they choose to seal and finish their skirting. Some choose to oil their skirting boards, while others apply a lacquered finish to both their skirting boards and architraves for a natural wood finish.

How do you attach oak skirting boards?

Oak skirting boards are sold in lengths, with buyers able to match their skirting boards to the rooms they are dressing, or speak to our sales team to help ensure you order the correct lengths of oak skirting.

Once your skirting boards have arrived, the best way to fix them in place is using a super strong glue, a nail gun, or individual screws. The best installation technique will depend on your chosen finish and the thickness of the skirting board material.

Does oak skirting warp?

Similar to any natural wooden product, oak skirting has the potential to become warped if it is left unfitted, which is why we will always recommend immediate installation upon receipt of your skirting board.
