Can you put LED lights on skirting boards?

Publish Time: 2025-05-07     Origin: Site

I believe that many owners who are familiar with decoration know that although the skirting is inconspicuous, its importance cannot be ignored.


The origin of the skirt is very old. From traditional tiles and marble to modern MDF, PVC, and metal materials, the emergence and development of each material has its own inevitable reasons. But the only certain thing is that with the development of the times and the improvement of personal aesthetics, our requirements for the practicality and aesthetics of the skirt will become higher and higher.


Traditional skirtings tend to prioritize practicality and durability, and protect the wall. Modern-style skirtings will add more fashion elements, integrate multiple functions, and become a new type of multi-functional all-in-one machine.


Therefore, LED skirtings came into being! This article will explore in depth whether the skirting can be installed with LED light strips, the advantages of LED skirtings, and the factors to be considered when choosing, hoping to provide some suggestions or help for everyone when purchasing.


Can you install LED lights on skirting boards?


Of course, you can install LED light strips on skirting boards, there is no doubt about that.


How are LED light strips installed on skirting boards? The whole process includes design, mold opening, processing, molding, and finally embedding the LED light strips.


Materials of LED skirting boards


LED skirting is a popular floor decoration profile. It is usually made of a variety of materials, the most common of which include PVC and aluminum alloy.


1. PVC skirting with LED lights


PVC skirting is a floor decoration accessory made of composite materials. It has excellent waterproof, mildew-proof, insect-proof, and fire-proof properties. And it is lightweight and easy to cut and install. It is suitable for almost any home and commercial space.


The design of PVC skirting takes lighting elements into full consideration. Usually, in order to provide a soft and sufficient lighting source for the ground or stair environment, the designer will design a groove on its surface so that the LED light strip with 3M glue can be pasted in the groove later, and the PVC lampshade can be embedded in the groove surface, finally presenting a uniform light source and soft lighting effect.


2. Aluminum skirting boards with LED light strips


Compared with PVC skirting boards, aluminum skirting boards with LED light strips are more like upgraded products. They are more durable, waterproof, and beautiful.


Aluminum skirting boards are lightweight, wear-resistant, corrosion-resistant, and durable. However, a metal cutting machine is required during the cutting process to achieve precise and fast cutting results.


Aluminum skirting boards with LED light strips are particularly common in modern or minimalist styles. With their exquisite metal finish and charming lighting effects, they can illuminate the ground space of the living room, corridor, or stairwell even in the night, providing more safety for walking.


Benefits provided by LED skirting boards


LED light skirting boards are an innovative floor profile that integrates multiple elements such as wall protection, interior lighting, and beautiful decoration. They are widely used in residential, hotel, and commercial spaces. It provides many benefits for home and commercial spaces:


1. Wall protection


Like traditional skirting lines, LED light skirting boards can also provide excellent wall protection. Avoid damage to the wall caused by the collision of the mop or sweeping robot with the wall during cleaning.


2. Hide the gap


The thicker the skirting board, the larger the buffer space it provides. We all know that the floor will be affected by thermal expansion and contraction, so the gap between the wall and the floor will be exposed, and the thicker the skirting board, the more covering surface it can provide to achieve the effect of hiding the gap.


3. Aesthetic value


PVC skirting boards with LED light strips can be shaped into almost any finish by changing the PVC film that covers them. Such as wood grain, marble grain, leather grain, skin grain, diatom mud grain, etc. To ensure that they can match any style of space.


Although the metal skirting board has a cold texture, it has a very refined metallic feel and is very suitable for modern and simple style homes and commercial environments.


4. Ensure safety when walking at night


LED skirting is mainly used at night or in spaces with insufficient light. You can connect an intelligent voice control system to turn on the lights when people come and turn off the lights when people leave. This design is very beneficial in terms of energy saving.


You can also achieve different lighting effects by choosing LED light strips with different color temperatures, such as white light source, warm yellow light source, and natural light source.


5. Energy saving and environmental protection


In certain lighting environments, LED skirting boards provide the advantages of efficient lighting and energy saving, and they usually save more energy than LED tube lighting.


Factors you need to consider when buying LED skirting boards


When you buy LED skirting boards, you need to consider multiple factors to ensure that they meet your needs in terms of beauty, practicality, and safety.


1. Material and structure


Aluminum alloy LED skirting boards are durable and impact-resistant, suitable for high-end home and commercial spaces.


PVC skirtings with LED light strips are lightweight, waterproof, and durable, suitable for wet spaces such as bathrooms and kitchens.


Generally, there are three structures of LED skirting boards. They are front light, downward light, or 45 degrees downward light.


2. Color temperature of LED light strips


We all know that light can affect people's mood or sleep. Therefore, as profiles for ground auxiliary lighting, they are usually paired with LED light strips with low color temperature values to provide soft lighting effects.


In addition, you can also change the material and thickness of the lampshade embedded in the skirting groove to change the effect and brightness of the light source. Of course, there is also a most convenient way, which is to connect the thermostat and manually rotate it to change the brightness of the light strip.


In any case, when choosing a light strip, you should make the right choice based on project needs and preferences.


3. Ease of installation


The most convenient installation is to fix the skirting board to the wall surface with adhesive, nails or screws. It can be installed quickly after you complete the measurement and cutting process.


Although the embedded skirting board provides a similar invisible decorative effect, it usually requires a groove in the wall to reserve space for the skirting board. This installation method is more difficult to construct and is not convenient for later cleaning and maintenance.


4. Budget


Before purchasing, you should consider the budget of your project. Metal skirting boards are durable and protective, but they are also more expensive.


PVC skirting boards are lightweight, waterproof, and non-flammable. They are often a good choice for projects with a limited budget.


Conclusion


Therefore, installing LED lights on skirting boards is a feasible solution. Usually, you just need to fully consider the needs, budget, installation convenience, and preferences before taking action, and choose the most suitable product type from the product catalog provided by the supplier.
