Choosing Wooden Skirting Boards

By Vince Samios


You will need to decide on what kind of material you want to use on your finishing touches, like skirting board, that you are having installed in your home.
There are lots of materials that skirting boards come in.
No matter what it is that you like or that you decide that you need, there should be a skirting board style that will work for you.
Wooden Skirting Boards are very popular with most people.
When it comes to using wood for skirting boards, one of the reasons people prefer the material is that there are so many choices when it comes to wood.

The first decision you need to make is on the type of profile you'd like to have for your Wooden Skirting Boards.
There are many different skirting board profiles when you decide to go with wooden boards.
You can choose from contemporary styles, modern styles and classic board profiles as well.
If you were to choose vinyl or a composite wood-like material you would find that you wouldn't have as many profile choices.
For instance with vinyl you don't have any profile choices at all, it's just the vinyl.

Another choice you need to make is exactly what kind of wood you want your skirting boards to be.
There are so many different types of wood skirting boards that you can buy, so you should look around and see what sort of wood accents are already in your home.
You can choose from woods like oak, walnut and pine.
Each wood has a distinct look and the cost of the various woods is different.

With wood boards you need to think about the finish you want to use on them.
This is the only downside to wood skirting boards and that is because if you were to choose vinyl or a composite material then you wouldn't need to finish the boards at all.
The most common finishes people use are paint, clear varnish and various wood stains.
Choosing the finish is all about completing the room, so make sure you choose something that is complimentary to your style.
