Skirting boards are a small part of a project, but they make a big difference to the finish. They cover the expansion gap at the edge of the floor, protect the wall from knocks and frame the room. This guide explains how to choose the right skirting.
Key points
- Skirting covers the expansion gap that click floors need.
- PVC and composite skirting resist moisture, so they suit kitchens, bathrooms and humid climates.
- Choose the height by room size and ceiling height.
- Match the colour to the floor for a seamless look, or to the wall for a modern look.
Why skirting matters
- It hides the expansion gap around the floor.
- It protects walls from cleaning equipment and furniture.
- It gives the room a clean, finished edge.
