Additionally, you can choose from an abundance of styles to suit whatever look you are going for. To go for a more daring interior look, it is also possible to paint your skirting boards to match or contrast with you favourite rooms.

To Hide Wires

Everyone can agree that wires and cables should not be seen, and what better way to avoid them than to hide them with attractive skirting boards? Plus, it makes your home a safer place for young children to enjoy, so it's a win win situation.

To Hide Unplastered Walls

Some walls are not plastered where they meet the floor, as they can cause damp.

Ultimately, this helps to avoid any damp occurring too.

To Protect Your Walls From Damage

Not only do they look good, but skirting boards also help to prevent damage to your walls as well. Whether you're rearranging furniture or have a house full of children, it's easy to mark your walls. With skirting boards, marks can be prevented as well as looking stylish.
