The most popular choice for new-build homes and widely used by national house builders. Ideal where you're replacing existing 15mm skirting or working to a tighter budget.
Our standard thickness and the choice for the vast majority of renovation and refurbishment projects. 18mm gives a substantial feel and excellent durability without looking oversized.
Chosen for larger rooms, high-specification homes and premium developments where a more substantial finish is desired. Pairs particularly well with taller skirting and decorative mouldings.
Height has one of the biggest impacts on the finished look of a room. There are no fixed rules, but matching the height to your ceiling height, room size and property style creates a balanced, professional finish.
Smaller boards give a clean, understated look and are common in newer builds. A good choice when matching existing skirting without making a room feel heavier.
Our best-selling range suits the vast majority of UK properties, enough presence to frame a room beautifully without overpowering it. If you're unsure, this is what we recommend.
Taller boards create a premium, luxurious look and keep the right proportions in bigger spaces. Popular in period homes, barn conversions and high-end developments.
| Ceiling height | Recommended skirting height |
|---|---|
| Under 2.4m | 94–144mm |
| Standard 2.4m | 144–169mm |
| Over 2.4m / period property | 169–219mm |
The right board length can save time and money on site. Longer boards reduce the number of joins for a cleaner finish; shorter boards are easier to transport and manoeuvre.
Suitable for the majority of installations and often chosen where rooms are smaller or access is restricted. Easier to carry upstairs and position during fitting.
Lets many walls be completed in a single length, reducing visible joints for a cleaner, seamless appearance. Popular in open-plan homes and commercial installs.
2 lengths at 2440mm plus 1 length at 1220mm will comfortably cover both legs and the head of a single doorway on one side, with allowance for mitred cuts.
3 lengths at 2440mm will cover one side of a pair of doors (double doorway), with enough spare for mitred corner cuts.

Shop matching skirting boardMany online retailers simply advertise products, then pass your order to a third-party manufacturer. At Cutting Edge we make every board ourselves, quality check every order and dispatch directly from our own West Midlands factory. When you contact us, you're speaking to the people who actually make your order, not a call centre or marketplace.
Every board is produced from premium High Density Moisture Resistant (MR) MDF. Unlike natural timber it has no knots, splits, shakes, grain defects or resin pockets, and is far less likely to warp, twist, bow, shrink or expand. The result is a straighter, more consistent product that's easier to install and takes a superior painted finish.
