Different Types of Skirting. 

  • In the world of flooring there are a few different types of skirting’s to choose from. There’s Cap and Cove, Set in and Sit on skirting’s.

Set In Skirting

set-in skirtings are typically installed in hospitals, clinics and schools. They are available in different thicknesses and heights, and a choice of colours co-ordinate with most design schemes.

Cap and Cove

Cove former and capping strips are used together. They allow the flooring to be continued up the wall at floor to wall junctions. This produces a neat and clean finish which is important in wet and sanitised areas. The cove former profile is installed at the junction between the wall and the floor. This creates a hidden curved support for the floorcovering as it is formed over the junction and up the wall. A cap strip is installed where the flooring ends, providing a sealed finish to the installation.

Sit On Skirting

 sit-on skirtings offer an easy to fit option to cover the junction between wall and floor. They are installed on top of the flooring and are hard wearing.Typical application areas include schools, offices and public buildings. They are available in different height sizes and a range of colour options to coordinate with most design schemes.
