Being inspired from original Victorian design, and featuring a larger moulding, our Large Victorian skirting board is a celebration of Victorian design on a grander scale. This moulding is most suited to period properties featuring high ceilings, allowing the use of larger skirting boards to be most effective. Most of the expanded profile is given over to accentuating the flow of the ogee. Making this longer and shallower creates a more subtle shadow, reminiscent of the base of a column and works really well with a tall board. We recommend using this design for skirting boards above 171mm high, but our standard Victorian for anything smaller. Both the Large Victorian Architrave and standard Victorian Architrave products are designed to compliment this skirting board. Choice will depend on how wide you need your architrave.
Available Sizes
Our larger oak skirting profiles are available in a 20mm thickness, 3m long lengths and heights of between 146mm and 171mm.
All sizes made to order and supplied in an unfinished state. Further finishing will be required with a product of your choice to suit your colour requirements.
Material
Oak
Our Large Victorian Oak Skirting Board is manufactured from solid European Oak, which has been sustainably sourced from French sawmills
The premium Oak we provide is a natural product graded to Q-S1/2 and has been kiln dried to an average 10% moisture content. This Oak grade has been sorted, is predominantly clear and will feature occasional knotts. While man made materials like MDF are uniform in appearance, Oak is a natual material that will vary from piece to piece. This oak will display varying grains, patterns, colours and knotts between pieces which contribute to this natural products great character, but all of which will vary from piece to piece and are integral to this natural product, and therefore cannot be changed.
Oak skirting boards will be supplied unfinished, with knotts unfilled and untreated allowing the customer to install to their prefence.
Storage
Our oak products are machined from kiln dried timber and should be stored in a warm, dry environment. Do not not be stored in cold, damp environments. Before storing make sure all concrete, plaster and other wet works have been carried out.
