Profile 324 is an adaption of the Torus moulding, which has been exaggerated and given additional linear detailing in an attempt to making it our most modern looking Torus based profile.
The roundness of Torus based shapes naturally lends itself to most design schemes, but the additional linear detail opens 324 up to a more modern leaning.
Nevertheless, the fusion of classic and modern detailing on Profile 324 skirting board should look effective in most design schemes.
Available Sizes
Our skirting is available in 18mm or 25mm thickness, lengths of either 3050mm or 4200mm and heights of between 69mm or 296mm, depending on length.
All sizes made to order and with a un-primed or primed finish.
Material
High Density Moisture Resistant (MR) MDF
The Profile 324 skirting board is 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. This makes MDF the most economical, time saving material for your skirting board requirements.
Skirtings R Us MDF builds on these properties. We manufacture a High Density MDF board which we have specifically sourced, as it produces a far smoother cut surface when moulded, superior to other standard or premium MDF's.
For more information on our MDF please see our MDF information page.

For more information, see the additional information tab (above) or our finishes guide to find out which finish is best for you.
The Benefits of Primed Finishes
Primed finishes are the most popular supplied to the DIY, building and design industries for several reasons:
- Pre-primed mouldings relieves a lot of work as MDF, being an absorbent material, can require two or more priming coats to seal it properly.
- If primed, mistakes and marks commonly made during installation can be rectified when finishing (unlike a gloss or satin finish, which is almost impossible to ‘touch up’ well and would be wasted).
- Therefore primed skirting boards/architrave is the easiest and most flexible product to install with less risk of permanently damaging the finish.
We recommend a primed finish on skirting board and would urge anyone who is thinking otherwise to reconsider.
For more information on primed finishes and the limitations of other finishes visit our finishes page.
