Create a neat floor-to-wall finish with PVC skirting boards from Stair Nosing Hut. Also known as plastic skirting or vinyl skirting - these profiles provide a durable finish that resists moisture and is easy to wipe clean. Therefore they are a practical alternative in areas where timber or MDF boards may struggle.
PVC profiles suit bathrooms, wet rooms, kitchens and utility areas. However, they can also be used in living rooms, hallways and commercial interiors. The range includes rigid PVC and uPVC options in white, black, cashmere and grey. In addition, several wood effect finishes are available.
PVC Skirting Board Options
Different profiles are available depending on the required size, appearance and purpose.
| Type | Size | Suitable For |

PVC Skirting for Bathrooms and Kitchens
Moisture resistance is a feature of PVC skirting boards. They are especially useful in bathrooms and other wet areas. Unlike timber, PVC does not Rot when it comes into contact with moisture. Because of this PVC skirting boards are ideal, for bathrooms, wet rooms, shower areas and kitchens.
The material also wipes clean easily & keeps its finish in humid rooms. Furthermore, bathroom skirting helps significantly reduce water ingress around the wall to floor join.
For uneven or tiled walls, a flexible PVC option can provide another suitable choice.
Available Colours and Sizes
The range includes:
white, black, cashmere and grey.
Furthermore wood effect choices include oak, ash, walnut and mahogany tones. These options' allow you to choose between a simple modern appearance and a traditional wood style without using timber.
Board heights include 75mm and 80mm. Meanwhile, scotia profiles come in 13mm and 18mm sizes.
Lengths include 2.2m and 2.5m as well as cut 1m options. Exact sizes and colours vary between profiles.
How to Fit PVC Skirting Boards
Fitting plastic skirting is straightforward. First, measure the required wall length. Then cut the profile using a fine tooth saw.
Corners can be mitred at 45 degrees. Alternatively, matching internal and external corners can be used with the wood effect cable cover system. This allows straight cut fitting around corners.
Next, make sure the wall is clean and dry. Fix the profile using grab adhesive. Finally, use matching end caps where required and apply decorator's caulk along the top edge.
Choosing the Right PVC Skirting
The right profile depends on where it will be installed. For bathrooms, wet rooms and kitchens - moisture resistant PVC provides a practical option.
For modern interiors, white, black or cashmere - vinyl skirting creates a simple finish. On the other hand wood effect PVC is suitable when you want oak, ash, walnut or mahogany tones without timber.
If cables need to be concealed - choose the profile with the built in cable cover. For laminate expansion gaps or smaller floor edges, 13mm or 18mm uPVC scotia provides a lower profile option.
