When it comes to choosing new skirting boards for a renovation or a new build, a common debate arises, should you choose traditional wood or modern MDF? While traditional wood has a certain classic charm, modern manufacturing and materials have made MDF the superior choice for most applications. For anyone looking for a long-lasting, flawless, and durable finish, high-quality large skirting board covers from a specialist supplier are the clear winner. They offer a range of benefits that simply can’t be matched by traditional timber.
At MDF Skirting World, we champion the use of MDF for several key reasons. Firstly, a major advantage is its consistency and quality. Unlike natural timber, which can have knots, grain patterns, and natural inconsistencies, MDF is uniform in density and composition. This means our MDF skirting boards are always perfectly straight, incredibly smooth, and ready for a flawless paint finish. This consistency eliminates the time and effort needed to prepare an imperfect surface, making the installation and finishing process far simpler and more professional.
Consistency and Quality That You Can Trust
The quality of the material is the foundation of a great finish. The natural imperfections of traditional wood, such as knots and defects, can often show through a painted surface over time, leading to a less-than-perfect result. Our high-quality MDF skirting boards are manufactured to be completely defect-free, providing a pristine, smooth surface that is perfect for painting. This ensures that the final result is a crisp, clean line around your room, with a professional finish that lasts. The consistent nature of MDF also means that every board is the same, making it easy to match and join for a seamless look throughout your home or business.
Durability That Stands the Test of Time
Durability is another huge factor in the MDF versus wood debate. Traditional wood is susceptible to warping, twisting, and cracking, especially in a fluctuating climate like the UK. When exposed to changes in humidity, wood can absorb moisture and change shape, which can lead to unsightly gaps and cracks. Our MDF skirting boards are made from moisture-resistant MDF, which is specifically designed to resist these issues. This feature is a game-changer, as it ensures that your skirting boards will maintain their perfect appearance and structural integrity for many years, even in areas with higher moisture levels like kitchens or bathrooms.
A Style for Every Vision, Made to Order
The aesthetic of your skirting boards is just as important as their durability. We believe that you shouldn’t have to compromise on style. While traditional wood offers a limited range of profiles, MDF can be precision-cut into virtually any shape. At MDF Skirting World, we offer an extensive range of styles, from the classic and elegant Victorian and Lambs Tongue to the clean and contemporary Bullnose and Square Edge. We also understand that a perfect fit is essential, which is why every one of our skirting boards and architraves is made to order and precision cut to your exact specifications. This bespoke approach simplifies the installation process and minimises waste, ensuring a perfect, professional result. The customisation available with our MDF skirting boards is unparalleled.
