What it's used for
- Finishing the base of internal walls in new-build housing, where a wide 215mm board provides good coverage and a generous profile.
- Replacing damaged or missing skirting in period properties, where the double sunk detail matches traditional Victorian and Edwardian styles.
- Upgrading standard skirting in renovations where a taller, more substantial board is needed to improve the finished look of a room.
- Matching existing profiles in extensions or conversion projects where continuity with the original skirting is required.
Fitting and handling
Store the boards flat or racked horizontally in a dry, ventilated space and allow them to acclimatise to the room temperature and humidity for at least 48 hours before fixing - this reduces the risk of movement after installation. Fix to the wall using cut clasp nails or screws and plugs into masonry, or adhesive combined with nails to stud partition walls, ensuring the board sits flush against the plaster. Apply a suitable wood primer before finishing with gloss or eggshell paint for a durable, washable surface.
FAQ
What does "double sunk" mean on a skirting board profile?
A double sunk profile features two recessed channels running horizontally along the face of the board, creating a stepped, shadow-line effect. It is a traditional British moulding style that works in both period and contemporary interiors and has been a standard joinery profile for well over a century.
How much redwood double sunk skirting board do I need to order?
Measure the total linear metres of wall base in the room, add approximately 10 to 15 per cent for waste from mitred corners and any cutting mistakes, then round up to the nearest metre. Because this product is priced and sold per metre, you can order exactly what you need without paying for a full-length board you do not require.
