What Our Customers Say
The Finishing Touches: Skirting and Architraves
The finishing touches of a room can truly enhance its look and feel. Skirting and architraves are two key elements that play a significant role in achieving a polished look.
But what exactly are they, and what purpose do they serve?
Skirting
Skirting is a horizontal board installed along the bottom perimeter of a room, where the wall meets the floor. It serves several purposes:
- Aesthetics: A skirting board adds a decorative touch, framing the bottom of the wall and creating a clean separation between the wall and the floor.
- Protection: It acts as a barrier, safeguarding the wall from kicks, bumps, and scratches caused by furniture or everyday wear and tear.
- Concealment: Skirting boards can cleverly hide any minor imperfections at the bottom edge of the wall or uneven gaps between the flooring and the wall.
Architrave
This is the moulding that frames the doorway or window opening. Similar to skirting, architraves offer both aesthetic and functional benefits:
- Aesthetics: Architraves create a visually pleasing definition around doors and windows, enhancing the overall design of the room.
- Strength and Stability: They provide additional structural support to the doorway or window frame, particularly in older homes.
- Concealing Gaps: Architraves have a functional purpose of hiding the gap between the wall lining, door jamb or window frame. This can be especially helpful for minor imperfections or unevenness that can occur during construction.
Profile Matching Service: Find the Perfect Match
At Colonial Wall Linings, we understand the challenge of finding rare or hard-to-match mouldings for renovations, restorations, or heritage projects. Our custom moulding profile matching service is your solution!
We can match your existing skirting or architrave moulding from:
- Dimensioned drawings
- Physical samples
Our expert team use this information to create an acrylic template, which is then used to create high-speed steel knives. These knives are used on our Weinig moulder to produce custom architraves and skirting boards that perfectly match your originals. We can also customise cornices, chair-rails, and picture-rails.
Choose from:
- Primed Moisture Resistant Emission Zero (MR E0) MDF
- Raw Finger-jointed Pine (FJ Pine) Timber Mouldings
