Sustainability

We offer a wide range of styles in our solid wood skirting boards made from prime-grade oak. We offer a wide variety of wooden skirting boards sourced from sustainably managed forests, ranging from oak bullnose skirting to chamfered or Ogee.

Why Oak

An oak tree takes years to mature fully due to its slow growth and dense nature. Therefore, we source our timber only from certified and accredited managed forests. Despite its versatility, oak requires very little maintenance and is commonly used in furniture, flooring, joinery, veneers, and panelling. Moreover, oak stands up well to stains and polishes well and is highly resistant to wear and tear. As a result, it is ideal for the construction of skirting boards that are prone to damage from accidental knocks, foot traffic, and bumps caused by children's toys, bicycles, and pushchairs.

Fitting Oak Skirting Boards

If you wish to install solid oak skirting, measure each length that you will need and cut them so that they will meet seamlessly at each corner of the room. Fix the skirting boards to the walls using masonry nails or screws (drilling pilot holes and fitting raw plugs first). Be sure to avoid any pipes, wires, or studs in the wall.

You can apply the finish of your choice to all of our solid oak skirting boards once they have been supplied with a smooth machined finish. For best results, we recommend using varnish or a wood finishing oil, such as Danish oil, which allows the natural grain of the wood to be seen.
