Colonial Skirting Boards – Traditional Skirtings
Colonial skirting board is one of the many perfect profiles for a traditional-style home. From a period with Italian design influences that were often proportionate and symmetrical, the colonial design is an elegant one with elements of rococo, neoclassicism, and oriental influences. The Colonial skirting board is one of the many perfect profiles for a Georgian-style home. Please note this shape (50mm) does not change and will remain the same height on all Skirting UK height options.
