Skirting boards and architraves, though often overlooked, can add a significant touch of style and elegance to any space. At Harlow Bros, we offer a premium selection of MDF skirting boards and architraves that not only elevate your home’s aesthetic appeal but also provide practical benefits.
How MDF Skirting & Architraves Make an Impact Around Your Home
MDF (Medium Density Fibreboard) skirting boards and architraves are excellent choices for both modern and traditional interiors. Similar to door linings, skirting and architraves serve as decorative trims that frame your walls (skirting boards) and doorways (Architraves), creating a seamless transition between your flooring and walls or doors. Not only are they stylish, but they also cover up any uneven or untidy areas – such as where walls join the floor.
Harlow Bros provides a variety of options to suit every style. Our skirting boards come in various finishes, including Torus-shaped designs, American white oak, and once-rounded options. Thicknesses range from 12 mm to 25 mm, giving you the flexibility to choose based on your room’s needs. Whether you prefer a classic or contemporary look, these trims complement any decor scheme with ease.
What sets MDF apart is its practical benefits. Unlike natural wood, MDF is resistant to knots, twisting, and imperfections. This ensures a smooth, durable finish that will stand the test of time. Additionally, our primed white MDF skirting boards and architraves save you effort by arriving ready for undercoats and topcoats, allowing for quick and easy installation.
Are MDF Skirting & Architraves Expensive?
MDF skirting boards and architraves are surprisingly cost-effective, especially when compared to alternatives like hardwood trims. At Harlow Bros, we aim to provide high-quality solutions at affordable prices.
Our skirting boards and architraves combine durability with style, ensuring you get excellent value for money. By investing in MDF trims, you achieve a high-end look without breaking the bank. Plus, the low-maintenance nature of MDF means long-term savings on upkeep, as you won’t need to worry about cracking, warping, or frequent replacements.
How to Install MDF Skirting & Architraves
Installing MDF skirting boards and architraves is a straightforward process, even for DIY enthusiasts. Here are some tips for a smooth installation:
Prepare Your Surface: Ensure walls and door frames are clean and level.
Measure & Cut: Measure the length required and cut your MDF to size with a saw. Mitre joints are recommended for corners.
Attach with Adhesive: Use a strong adhesive to secure the skirting board or architrave to the wall or frame.
Secure with Nails: For added stability, use finishing nails to hold the trim in place.
Finish with Paint (optional): With Harlow Bros’ pre-primed MDF, all that’s left is to apply your undercoat and topcoat for a polished look.
