Our MDF skirting is white primed and ready to receive a top coat of paint, saving time on preparation. Profiles include torus, ogee, ovolo, pencil round, square edge, chamfered and rounded, and grooved, covering the most commonly specified designs in both new builds and renovation projects. Sizes run from 18mm x 44mm up to 18mm x 168mm in standard 4.4m lengths.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSolid Timber Skirting Boards: Redwood and Oak\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor a more premium finish, our solid timber skirting boards are available in redwood and American white oak. Redwood is a cost-effective softwood that takes paint or stain well and suits traditional and contemporary interiors alike. American white oak is a harder, more durable option with a pronounced grain, often finished with a clear coat or stain to show the natural wood. Both species are available across the same profile range as our MDF skirting, in nominal sizes from 75mm up to 225mm, with finished dimensions typically 5mm smaller than the stated size.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.timberonline.co.uk\/collections\/cover-mouldings\"\u003eFinishing around doors and windows?
