Skirting & Profiles Imported & distributed
MDF and timber skirting, aluminium trims, transition profiles, shadow gaps and LED profiles for every floor and wall junction.
We supply the trims that close a project: MDF, solid timber and PVC skirting, aluminium and stainless profiles for tile edges and stair nosings, transition strips between different floor finishes, shadow-gap and coving profiles, plus recessed and surface LED profiles. Heights, colours and lengths are selected together with the flooring and paint, so junctions are planned rather than improvised at the end.

00 / The brief
Junctions are designed or they are improvised — there is no third option.
Where a floor meets a wall, where tile meets wood, where a ceiling meets plaster: each junction needs a profile chosen for the real thicknesses involved. Left to the end, these details get solved with whatever the site has.
1–3 wks
Trims are the last five percent of a project and the first thing anyone notices when they are wrong.
We take the trims off the drawings with the flooring and paint specification, match finishes to the ironmongery and calculate running metres including corners and cutting loss.

Take-off for the whole project
01 / Why through us
We import the skirting & profiles ourselves, so you buy at first hand.
Skirting, tile trims, transitions and LED profiles are taken off together, so every junction has an answer before the trades arrive.
02 / 04
Transitions resolved on the drawing
Changes between tile, wood and vinyl are decided with the right profile and level difference before the trades arrive.
Transition schedule per doorway
03 / 04
Colours matched, not approximated
Primed skirting is painted to the wall colour and aluminium finishes are matched to the ironmongery on the same job.
Finish samples before ordering
04 / 04
Lengths and quantities calculated properly
Runs, corners, cutting loss and delivery lengths are calculated so the site is not short by three metres.
02 / The range
What we carry in skirting & profiles
Every edge in an interior needs one of four answers. Skirting covers the gap where floor meets wall; tile trims protect and finish the exposed edges of tiled surfaces; transition and expansion profiles join two floors or let one move; shadow-gap and LED profiles replace a visible trim with a recess or a line of light. Deciding them from the drawings keeps one finish family through the whole project.
04 rangesLead time 1–3 wks
01
Skirting boards
A clean, continuous line at the base of every wall that hides the expansion gap and takes the knocks of hoovers and chairs. MDF skirting arrives primed or finished and stays straight, solid timber suits stained floors and period interiors, and PVC handles damp rooms where wood would swell. Heights, profiles and colours are scheduled room by room once the floor build-up is fixed, so the skirting sits on the finished floor and meets the door frames properly.
- Hides the floor's expansion gap at every wall
- Protects plaster from cleaning machines and furniture
- Moisture-resistant options for bathrooms and basements
Terms you will meet
- E1 emission class
- The European formaldehyde limit for wood-based boards (EN 13986, tested to EN 717-1); ask for it on any MDF skirting.
- MR MDF
- Moisture-resistant MDF, usually tinted green in the core, which resists swelling better than standard board in humid rooms.
- Flush skirting
- Skirting set into the wall so its face lines up with the plaster, which needs a recessed profile fixed before boarding or plastering.
- Indicative supply range
- €4–€32 /lin. m
- Best for
- Living areas, bedrooms, corridors, rental units and basement rooms.
- Formats
- Heights from about 6 to 15 cm; lengths of roughly 2,4–3 m; square, chamfered, bullnose and moulded profiles.
When it fits
Choose painted MDF for a crisp modern line, timber to match a wood floor, PVC where floors get mopped or damp.
When it does not
If you want no skirting visible at all, a shadow-gap profile gives that look, planned before the walls are finished.
02
Tile & edge trims
Tile edges that do not chip, outside corners that stay sharp and stair edges that are safe underfoot: metal trims do this while adding a fine finish line. Each profile is chosen by the thickness of the tile plus adhesive, so the edge sits flush. Aluminium suits most interiors and anodises in many colours; stainless steel resists corrosion in showers, pools and coastal homes; brass gives a warm, ageing edge for hospitality and feature walls.
- Protects exposed tile edges and outside corners
- Sized to tile thickness so the edge sits flush
- Finishes chosen to match taps, handles and lighting
Terms you will meet
- EN AW-6063
- The aluminium alloy most extruded profiles are made from; it takes a clean anodised or powder-coated finish.
- AISI 316
- Marine-grade stainless steel with molybdenum; it resists chlorides better than 304, so it suits pools, showers and the coast.
- Anodising
- An electrochemical finish that hardens and colours the aluminium surface, so it does not peel the way paint can.
- Indicative supply range
- €4–€32 /lin. m
- Best for
- Bathrooms, kitchens, shower niches, tiled stairs, pool surrounds and feature walls.
- Formats
- Profile heights from about 6 to 12,5 mm (deeper for thick slabs); lengths around 2,5 m; L, round, square and nosing shapes.
When it fits
Choose a metal trim wherever a tile edge or corner is exposed, or a tiled step needs a protected nosing.
When it does not
If two different floors meet at a doorway, a transition profile is the right part, not a tile trim.
03
Transition & expansion profiles
Doorways where tile meets timber without a raw edge or a trip, and large floors that can move without cracking: transition and expansion profiles handle both. Level strips cover joints between finishes of the same height, ramp profiles bridge a difference of a few millimetres, and movement joints absorb the expansion of big tiled areas and screeds. Each one is chosen from the two finished floor levels, which is why they are scheduled with the flooring rather than at handover.
- Neat, safe joins between two different floor finishes
- Height differences bridged without a trip edge
- Movement joints that stop large tiled floors cracking
Terms you will meet
- Movement joint
- A flexible joint through the tile and bedding that takes the floor's expansion; large areas, perimeters and slab joints need them.
- Expansion gap
- The space a floating wood or laminate floor needs at walls and thresholds, often around 8–10 mm; the profile must cover it.
- Ramp profile
- A sloping strip that bridges a height difference between two floors so that wheels and feet roll over rather than catch.
- Indicative supply range
- €4–€32 /lin. m
- Best for
- Doorways, open-plan floors that change finish, renovations over existing floors and large tiled areas.
- Formats
- Level, ramp and end profiles about 0,9–2,7 m long; movement joints matched to tile height; screw, adhesive or clip fixing.
When it fits
Choose these wherever two floors meet, a floating floor ends, or a tiled area is large enough to need movement joints.
When it does not
If the edge is a tiled wall corner or a stair nosing, a tile and edge trim is the right family.
04
Shadow gaps & LED profiles
Walls that end in a crisp recess instead of a trim, and light that seems to come from the architecture itself: shadow-gap and LED profiles give interiors that quiet, finished look. Shadow gaps replace skirting or ceiling cornices with a recessed reveal; coving profiles hide indirect light; LED channels carry the strip, keep it cool and spread the light through a diffuser. They are boarded or plastered in, so they must be set out with the electrician before the walls close.
- Recessed junctions without a visible trim
- Indirect and linear light built into walls and ceilings
- Diffusers that hide individual LED dots
Terms you will meet
- Plaster-in profile
- An LED or shadow-gap section with wings that are skimmed over, so the profile disappears into the plasterboard surface.
- Opal diffuser
- A milky cover that blends the LED points into a continuous line of light; clear covers are brighter but show the dots.
- Strip wattage per metre
- The LED strip's power in W/m; higher outputs need a profile deep and wide enough to carry the heat away.
- Indicative supply range
- €4–€32 /lin. m
- Best for
- Contemporary homes, hotel corridors, showrooms, staircases, kitchens and bathroom mirrors.
- Formats
- Shadow-gap reveals around 10–20 mm; LED profiles in 2 or 3 m lengths for strips about 8–12 mm wide; surface, recessed and plaster-in sections.
When it fits
Choose these when the design wants recessed junctions or lines of light, decided before plasterboard and plaster go up.
When it does not
If the walls are already finished, a surface skirting or a surface LED profile is the realistic option.
03 / Where it goes

04 / How to specify it
The decisions that decide the result.
01 / 06
Fix the floor build-up first
Skirting height and profile depth depend on the finished floor level and door frames.
02 / 06
Schedule the transitions
List every doorway and change of material with the profile that resolves it.
03 / 06
Choose moisture-resistant sections for wet rooms
PVC, aluminium or tiled skirting avoids swelling in bathrooms and basements.
04 / 06
Match metal finishes deliberately
Trims, handles and taps should share a finish family, confirmed with samples.
05 / 06
Set out LED profiles before boarding
Recessed sections, strip type and driver position have to be coordinated.
06 / 06
Calculate quantities with waste
Corners, cuts and delivery lengths mean the running metre figure is never the raw perimeter.
Common mistakes
Ordering skirting before the floor is chosen
Height and profile depth stop working when the floor build-up changes.
Skipping transition profiles
Exposed edges chip, and level differences become a trip hazard.
Using timber skirting in a bathroom
It swells and lifts at the joints within the first year.

06 / The long read
Skirting & Profiles, from first quote
to a finished room.
Skirting, tile trims, transitions and LED profiles are taken off together, so every junction has an answer before the trades arrive. This is the part most suppliers leave out: what we import, how skirting & profiles should be specified before anyone prices it, where projects lose money, and what our 1–3 wks lead time actually covers.
01
What we import, and what lands on site
We supply the trims that close a project: MDF, solid timber and PVC skirting, aluminium and stainless profiles for tile edges and stair nosings, transition strips between different floor finishes, shadow-gap and coving profiles, plus recessed and surface LED profiles. Heights, colours and lengths are selected together with the flooring and paint, so junctions are planned rather than improvised at the end.
Because we buy skirting & profiles directly from the factories, the range you see is the range we can programme — not a catalogue we hope to source later. In practice that means skirting boards, tile & edge trims and transition & expansion profiles, each with its own price band and availability, so a specification can be tuned to a budget instead of abandoned.
Chosen with the floor, not after it: skirting height and profile depth follow the flooring build-up and door frames, so the detail lines up in every room.

Chosen with the floor, not after it
Skirting height and profile depth follow the flooring build-up and door frames, so the detail lines up in every room.
Transitions resolved on the drawing
Changes between tile, wood and vinyl are decided with the right profile and level difference before the trades arrive.
Colours matched, not approximated
Primed skirting is painted to the wall colour and aluminium finishes are matched to the ironmongery on the same job.
Lengths and quantities calculated properly
Runs, corners, cutting loss and delivery lengths are calculated so the site is not short by three metres.
02
How skirting & profiles should be specified before it is priced
Specifying skirting & profiles well comes down to a short list of decisions taken in the right order — fix the floor build-up first, schedule the transitions, choose moisture-resistant sections for wet rooms and match metal finishes deliberately. Taken on paper, these cost nothing. Taken on site, each one is a change order.
We write the specification with you before anything is quoted, so the number you get is for the material that will actually be installed. That means confirmed dimensions and finishes, the right performance class for the space, and quantities that include the waste factor rather than discovering it mid-installation.
The same reference behaves differently depending on where it goes — apartment and house renovations, new residential projects, offices and workspaces, retail and hospitality interiors each carry their own requirements, and we specify against the space rather than against a mood image.

03
Where skirting & profiles projects lose time and money
Almost every delay we are called in to rescue traces back to the same handful of causes: ordering skirting before the floor is chosen, skipping transition profiles, using timber skirting in a bathroom and adding LED profiles after boarding. None of them are exotic, and all of them are avoidable at specification stage.
Ordering skirting before the floor is chosen is the most expensive one, because height and profile depth stop working when the floor build-up changes.
We have supplied skirting & profiles into apartments, offices, retail and hospitality, and the pattern is consistent: the projects that run smoothly are the ones where the material was locked before the trades were booked.
Skipping transition profiles — checked once on paper, never again on site.
Ordering skirting before the floor is chosen
Height and profile depth stop working when the floor build-up changes.
Skipping transition profiles
Exposed edges chip, and level differences become a trip hazard.
Using timber skirting in a bathroom
It swells and lifts at the joints within the first year.
Adding LED profiles after boarding
A recessed detail becomes a surface fixing, which rarely looks like the original intention.
04
Lead times, pricing and what we handle
Standard lead time on skirting & profiles is 1–3 wks from confirmed specification, and that window covers the whole chain — factory programming, consolidation, transport, customs where applicable and delivery to site or to your warehouse. We quote the landed number, not an ex-works price that grows later.
Pricing is per project rather than per line. Because we import directly and consolidate skirting & profiles with the rest of the materials for the same room, you get one quote, one delivery window and one point of contact — and the savings show up on the total, not just on a headline reference.
If you already have drawings, send them and we will come back with a specification and a landed price. If you do not, we will build the specification with you first. Either way, nothing is ordered until the quantities, finishes and dates are agreed in writing.
07 / Questions
Frequently asked
What skirting height suits a modern interior?+
Taller sections, typically 8–15 cm, read as more contemporary and hide services better; the ceiling height, door frames and the flooring thickness decide what is proportionate.
MDF or solid timber skirting?+
Primed MDF is stable, straight and ideal for painted finishes. Solid timber suits stained finishes and matching a wood floor, and it costs more.
Which skirting works in a bathroom or basement?+
Moisture-resistant PVC or aluminium avoids swelling where water is present. Tiled skirting cut from the floor tile is also a durable option.
Do I need a transition profile between two floor finishes?+
Usually yes, where thickness or material changes. It protects the edges and hides the level difference; the profile type depends on how big that difference is.
Can LED profiles be recessed into the plasterboard?+
Yes, with a recessed section planned before the boarding. Strip type, power supply position and diffuser are decided at the same time.
Can profile finishes match door handles and taps?+
In most families, yes — black, brushed brass, chrome and anodised finishes are available, and we confirm with samples before ordering.
Materials from this category are usually specified for interior design projects and office fit-out. We specify and supply every material the project needs; if you need installers, we can suggest partners you contract directly.
