Skirting boards are a subtle decorative element in flooring, often overlooked due to their unique installation location. However, they are crucial for enhancing the floor's aesthetic and creating a stylish finish.
Skirting boards are available in a variety of materials, including solid wood, metal, and PVC, each with its own advantages and disadvantages. Choosing the right one is crucial for creating a harmonious and unified flooring environment.
This article will delve into the types, advantages, and applications of PVC skirting boards.
CREATEKING's skirting boards can be categorized into four types based on their design. Each type offers unique advantages in appearance, structure, and installation.
This type of skirting board typically features a hollow, multi-chamber structure, making it lightweight and easy to cut and install. Its curved appearance creates a smooth, rounded, and softer appearance, unlike the sharp contours of square skirting boards.
Surface-nailed PVC skirting boards offer significant convenience for engineering installation projects. They do not require specialized tools or installation techniques like aluminum skirting boards.
PVC skirting board with decorative strips creates a striking visual effect. To emphasize the line between floor and wall and enhance the aesthetics of a space, PVC skirting with embedded aluminum decorative strips is the best choice.
This type of skirting is typically secured with nails, ensuring a secure installation, facilitating construction, and adding a decorative aesthetic.
The skirting is secured by hammering nails into the grooves in the skirting, then inserting the PVC or metal decorative strips into the grooves, creating a concealed nail effect. Unlike baseboards installed directly with nails, this type of skirting avoids the unsightly appearance of exposed nail heads, making it a preferred choice for homeowners seeking a refined look.
A clip-on PVC skirting board is a profile that mounts to a base. It consists of two parts: the skirting board and the base. To install, first nail the PVC or ABS skirting board to the wall (use two bases per meter). Then, snap the skirting board into place to secure it.
Clip-on PVC skirting boards offer the dual advantages of easy installation and removal, making them an excellent choice for homeowners who need to regularly update their flooring.
They are also an attractive and practical material for some rental and apartment renovation projects. They combine the look of wood grain with the waterproof properties of plastic, making them a perfect alternative to traditional solid wood skirting.
This type of skirting board is often used in large-scale residential projects, such as those by Vanke and Country Garden.
Engineering series wood-plastic skirting boards typically coordinate with the flooring's color scheme. They emphasize harmony with the interior style, ensuring the skirting board complements the flooring and maintains a consistent color.
Engineering series skirting boards have a more sophisticated appearance, often with dust barriers embedded at the bottom joints with the floor and the top joints with the wall to prevent dust from entering the gaps. This flooring accessory emphasizes sealing and coordinates with the flooring's color.
PVC skirting boards are an environmentally friendly product that seamlessly combines natural materials with advanced technology. Many homeowners and designers consider them an ideal alternative to traditional materials, offering a practical and cost-effective option for busy commercial spaces.
Waterproof: Its core material, made of filler (calcium carbonate) and polyvinyl chloride, enhances water resistance while maintaining high strength. This advantage is often unmatched by solid wood skirting boards.
Durable: PVC skirting boards' high density and sturdy design provide excellent resistance to external impacts, making them less susceptible to dents from accidental impacts. This is particularly beneficial for homes with children or those using robotic vacuums.
Fireproof: CREATEKING's high-quality skirting boards offer excellent flame retardancy. They meet B1 fire rating standards, making them a preferred material for residential and commercial environments where fire prevention is crucial.
Environmentally friendly: Made of recyclable PVC, it will not cause pollution to the environment.
Easy Installation: Whether you choose a baseboard that's nailed directly to the surface or a clip-on design, no specialized installation knowledge or tools are required. You can use simple tools and install them easily.
PVC skirting board is a lightweight, durable, versatile, low-maintenance, and cost-effective new flooring accessory. It has a variety of indoor applications.
Living Room: PVC skirting can be used in living rooms. It can be used to create a matching color scheme with the floor, enhance the sense of space, and create a clear boundary between the wall and the floor.
Bedroom: Installing PVC skirting in the bedroom adds a touch of sophistication and provides a unique visual appeal.
Hallway: Its straight lines can define the flow of traffic and serve as a guide.
Stairs: Stairs are a frequently used feature in indoor spaces, and the decorative materials used for them often demand stringent requirements in terms of durability and flexibility in finish customization. PVC skirting, with its diverse finishes and minimal maintenance requirements, makes it the perfect complement to stair treads.
PVC skirting boards come in a wide variety of styles, allowing you to choose the right one based on your preferences, style, needs, and budget.
Whichever type you choose, you can benefit from their beautiful finish, exceptional durability, and excellent value.
