What does the term "skirting" refer to, when it comes to building materials or construction in general? Well basically, skirtings are the strips, covering the lowest part of any interior wall. Its purpose is to cover the joints between the wall surface and the floor. The main purpose of these strips is to cover the uneven edge as flooring meets the wall, skirting protects the wall from kicks, abrasion and furniture, and also can serve as a decorative molding. That results in the new modern ideas in the field of interior designing. One of the least noticeable details of the a room, while also being one of those big things that can change its outlook.

Some different skirting are:

  • Vinyl skirting: The vinyl skirting system is the perfect solution to provide a clean, professional finishing touch on home’s porches and enclosures. It is easy to clean and insect and vermin resistant. This is particularly helpful for environments that inhabit too many pests or vermin, but is practically fit for virtually all kinds of environments. Vinyl skirting technology insures long lasting performance.

  • Sit - on skirting: Flexible sit-on skirtings offer an easy to fit option to cover the junction between wall and floor. They are installed on top of the floorcovering and are hard wearing. They need little maintenance other than regular cleaning. They offer good value, which reduce the number of joins needed along a corridor length. Sit-on Skirting provides an impervious seal when bonded to the floor covering. Flexible PVC sit-on skirting ideal for use in areas such as hospital corridors, schools etc.

  • Wood Skirting: The material in wood skirting, as is the name, is wood. We all know that wood is an element of warmth, richness and sophistication. It looks amazingly good as it runs along marble or tiled floors. Works best with light coloured floors, walls and ceilings. Wood skirting and flooring, brings out a more natural look of the place, than you’d expect in modern houses.

  • Cove Skirting: Cove skirting are concave rounded moulding around a room at junction between wall and floor, that softens the appearance of sharp internal corners, and softens the acoustic nature of sharp internal corners. Cove skirting makes the room acoustically more comfortable. Really locks in the aesthetic of the place, and appeals to the eye.
