"Skirting boards are made to protect the bottom of walls from knocks and kicks. Which means they endure a lot of wear and tear. You can clean and paint them regularly, but eventually they will need replacing, which is a messy and time-consuming task. A sweet alternative to replacing or painting skirting boards is to invest in skirting over skirting. This is a quick, easy and almost mess-free alternative that any DIYer can tackle without worry."
"What is skirting over skirting? There is a clue in the name, as Paul Kerr, building specialist at Building Supplies, points out, "Skirting over skirting is exactly that, it's in essence a way of layering new skirting boards on top of pre-existing ones." Skirting over skirting is also known by several other names, including skirting overclads, over-skirting, or, most commonly, skirting board covers."
Skirting boards protect the bottom of walls from knocks and kicks and therefore experience significant wear. Regular cleaning and repainting can delay replacement but eventual renewal is often messy and time-consuming. Skirting over skirting layers new boards directly on top of existing skirting, avoiding demolition. Alternative names include skirting overclads, over-skirting and skirting board covers. Covers fit neatly to create the appearance of brand-new skirting while reducing disruption. The method is quick, mostly mess-free and accessible to competent DIYers, providing a refreshed durable finish with proper fitting.
