Plinth blocks are designed to bring added grandeur to your room when placed at the foot of your architrave. This is achieved by making your doors reminiscent of columns from classical times.
The plain plinth block is versatile enough to work with any skirting or architrave, but you will need to always make sure the height is taller than your skirting and the width is greater than the architrave.
The chamfered plinth block is a stylish variation intended to work with detailed mouldings.

Please note blocks are sold in a larger height and are designed to be cut down to the required size on site.

Please see additional information below if considering CHAMFERED plinth blocks to check suitability for your chosen architrave shape.

Material

High Density Moisture Resistant (MR) MDF

All plinth blocks are made of a high density, moisture resistant (MR) MDF.

MDF is free from natural defects. This gives it a long product life and means that MDF will not; warp, twist, bow, split, or contain knots, all of which you would find in pine and any other natural wood.

For more information on our MDF please see our MDF information page.

Customer Questions
What is the time frame for delivery on my delivery date?
Our deliveries run all day on the appointed day of delivery from our base in the Midlands, although they are generally completed between 7am and 7.30pm. Please ensure your representative is on site on the appointed day if delivery until the goods have been delivered, but the driver will call 30 mins prior to arrival to help facilitate this. This point is especially relevant to trade building sites which may need to remain open/leave a man on site for longer than they usually would to receive delivery. We would always reach out if there was an issue preventing delivery after it had been arranged, and would never not show.
