Additionally, timber skirting provides a seamless transition between the floor and the wall, creating a polished and cohesive look.

Beyond its aesthetic appeal, timber skirting offers practical advantages as well.

Timber Skirtings FAQs

Should Skirting Boards be Glued or Nailed?

Skirting can be glued to the wall using a strong adhesive but for strength, you may require nails depending on the type of wall. For a masonry wall, use masonry nails or screws and rawl plugs or for a timber partition wall, use lost head nails driven into the studs.

What is the Main Function of Skirting?

The skirting board has two main functions. It hides untidy joins between the wall and the floor and protects the walls from everyday wear and tear. The base of a wall is susceptible to damage, so skirting provides a barrier to prevent the majority of accidental damage.
