MDF Half-Splayed Skirting
Why not get rid of your plain walls and instead complete your home with premium Half-splayed skirting boards! Half-Splayed skirting boards are the second most popular skirting board profiles, just behind Lambs Tongue and in front of WA Colonial. Their sleek profile and clean lines serves as a modern, simple design to use in your home at an affordable price and easy installation. Matching well with architraves, these high grade mouldings tend to suit modern homes due to their cleaner and simple design as well as add a protective feature from scuffs and marking on your lower walls. They range from three different sizes (67mm x 18mm, 92mm x 18mm, 140mm x 18mm) and all have the same length of 5.4m, which allows less joints on your longer walls and a better finish.
A Modern Style For Your Home
Mouldings like the MDF Half Splayed suit modern interiors and design, and this profile can be a great option to match with timber or tiled flooring, simpler architraves and modern furniture. With three size options available, be sure to select a premium grade moulding that suits the height of your ceiling, the width of your door architraves and the size of your rooms. So, if you have high ceilings opt for the 92mm x 18mm or taller 140mm x 18mm and with the same concept avoid large boards with lower ceilings as the skirting will dominate and any horizontal lines will visually shorten your room.
