Skirting Boards, Picture Rails & Architrave

What can add a touch of sophistication and a perfect finish to any room is having skirting boards, architrave and/or picture rails fitted. Here at Milbarn Construction, our team of highly skilled and experienced joiners have fitted all 3 in many properties in Essex who were looking to give their rooms a face lift.

Skirting boards are able to cover any imperfections in plaster work or gaps where the floor and wall meet to ensure your room’s decoration looks as smart as possible. Most are made of wood or plastic depending on the purpose of the room in which it shall be fitted.

For example:

  • MDF (wood) – usually used in living and dining areas to smarten up the appearance of the interior design.
  • PVC (plastic) – usually used in kitchens and utility rooms where spillages occur most often as they are easy to be wiped clean.

Picture rails, traditionally placed 3/4 of the way up your wall enable you to:

  • Hang pictures and photos without having to drill through your wall
  • Dividing up your wall if you want to paint the wall more than one colour (usually leaving the top 1/4 of your wall and ceiling the same colour)
  • Dividing up your wall if you wish to have the bottom 3/4 wall papered and the top 1/4 ceiling painted.

Dado rails serve the same purpose with regards to dividing up your walls – these are usually placed 1/2 way up your wall.

Architrave is a decorative frame fitted around doors and windows to give your doorway a sophisticated and smart look. Available in many different styles, simple or decorative, we can fit architrave well suited to your home’s interior!
