Skirting Boards are a vital part of any construction, renovation or simple decoration. They are often overlooked and quality may be skipped as being an important consideration, until its too late.
Skirting Boards are available in such a range of quality, styles, timbers, lengths and finished that it is almost impossible to be sure as to what you’re really after.
Important things to consider are the fact that once you are in a position to replace the skirting boards, you will be considering the plaster, plaster boards, wallpaper, other mouldings, ajoining architraves, door frames, flooring, carpets, carpet ramps, wooden floors, scotia beads, corner trims and more …
Why ? Because your skirting boards, whether you decide to go with mdf skirting boards, oak skirting boards or any other type of timber will affect each of the above elements of your construction and will possibly get damaged, need to be temporarily removed, replaced, repainted or refitted in order to successfully install your skirting boards.
After the daunting considerations are over with, then its onto the positives …
Skirting Boards can easily become a somewhat subliminal way to impress visitors to your home or building – because its something people do not normally put much effort into. However if you take a look at the range of oak skirting boards we have to offer, you will be amazed at just how fantastic the skirting boards can look.
Have you ever noticed that when you visit a hotel, you just somehow get the feeling that it is well-constructed ? If you’re in a slightly upper class hotel, you again get the feeling of quality and luxury – why is that? Well next time you visit a hotel, take a look at the walls, construction, doorways etc. You will notice firstly that the doors are all fire rated firedoors by regulation, meaning they are thick, heavy, self closing and usually a good proportion of hardwood timber in their construction. Also, you will find that their mouldings, architraves, door frames, and indeed skirting boards are all of a supreme quality. Even if they have used MDF Skirting boards, they will have used the better quality materials rather than your typical ‘shed’ store would supply. Often, and in particular in higher class hotels you will find solid walnut skirting boards and mouldings, and sometimes even doors.
Now – you’ll notice what is it that gives you that feeling of luxury when visiting a hotel – you can make the same efforts to make your own home feel as expensive and luxurious.
