Although not a lot of thought is given to them, skirting boards are vital for protecting your walls but also creating the perfect finish to your space. They can help hide blemishes in your plasterwork and keep your flooring secure and they also protect the lowest part of your walls from the knocks and bumps of daily life. Vacuum cleaners, kids playing, and moving furniture can all damage your skirting board. So, when it comes to replacing your skirting, you want something which will look good for years to come.

Although traditionally made from wood, there are many different materials skirting boards can come in. Wooden skirting boards are highly durable and maintain their shape in the long term and can easily be painted whereas MDF skirting boards are a cost-effective solution to finishing your walls which are easier to clean than wood.

If you are looking for a skirting board made from wood, our oak or pine skirting boards are perfect for creating a traditional finish in your home. Should you want to make them fit seamlessly into your home using skirting board paint adds additional durability and helps your new skirting blend effortlessly into the background. However, they can also be varnished so the natural woodgrain shines through.

One important thing to consider regardless of what your skirting board is made from is the profile of the skirting board. Choosing the right one can make your home feel more traditional or modern depending on what you are looking to go for. At B&Q, our extensive range of skirting boards covers all the popular profiles like torus, ogee, bullnose and ovolo so you can find the right option for your home and finish off your home in style.
