Doors Supplies Online offers oak skirting boards in a number of styles, from modern designs to more traditional and period styles.

Natural Oak Skirting for a Premium Finish
Solid oak skirting boards are popular for their distinctive grain, natural colouring and durable construction. Unlike painted alternatives, natural oak can be finished to enhance its character, allowing the skirting to complement oak flooring, internal doors, architraves and other timber features.
For homeowners and professionals looking for a genuine timber finish, hardwood skirting provides a strong and long-lasting option. The natural appearance of oak works particularly well alongside other solid timber joinery, helping create a coordinated and high-quality interior.
Hardwood Skirting Boards for Any Interior
Our hardwood skirting boards are suitable for a wide range of residential and commercial applications. They can be used throughout hallways, living rooms, bedrooms, dining areas, kitchens and other interior spaces where a durable and attractive wall-to-floor finish is required.
Choosing wood skirting boards can also provide greater flexibility when decorating. Depending on your preferred style, oak skirting can be stained, oiled, varnished or finished to create the appearance you want.
Solid Oak Skirting vs Oak Effect Skirting
If you're comparing solid oak skirting with an oak effect skirting board, it's important to consider the material, appearance and intended use. Solid oak provides the natural grain and character associated with genuine timber, while oak effect products are designed to replicate the appearance of oak using alternative materials.
For projects where authentic timber joinery is a priority, solid oak skirting boards offer a premium solution that can complement other natural wood products throughout the property.
Coordinate Oak Skirting with Your Doors and Joinery
Skirting boards are an important part of the overall interior finish and can be matched with internal doors, architraves, flooring and other timber features. Solid oak skirting boards are particularly effective when used alongside oak doors and other hardwood joinery, creating a consistent and sophisticated appearance.
Whether you're specifying timber products for a complete renovation or simply replacing existing skirting, choosing quality hardwood skirting can make a noticeable difference to the finished room.

Sustainability
We offer a wide range of styles in our solid wood skirting boards made from prime-grade oak. We offer a wide variety of wooden skirting boards sourced from sustainably managed forests, ranging from oak bullnose skirting to chamfered or Ogee.
Why Oak
An oak tree takes years to mature fully due to its slow growth and dense nature. Therefore, we source our timber only from certified and accredited managed forests. Despite its versatility, oak requires very little maintenance and is commonly used in furniture, flooring, joinery, veneers, and panelling. Moreover, oak stands up well to stains and polishes well and is highly resistant to wear and tear. As a result, it is ideal for the construction of skirting boards that are prone to damage from accidental knocks, foot traffic, and bumps caused by children's toys, bicycles, and pushchairs.
Fitting Oak Skirting Boards
If you wish to install solid oak skirting, measure each length that you will need and cut them so that they will meet seamlessly at each corner of the room. Fix the skirting boards to the walls using masonry nails or screws (drilling pilot holes and fitting raw plugs first). Be sure to avoid any pipes, wires, or studs in the wall.
You can apply the finish of your choice to all of our solid oak skirting boards once they have been supplied with a smooth machined finish. For best results, we recommend using varnish or a wood finishing oil, such as Danish oil, which allows the natural grain of the wood to be seen.
FAQs
Skirting boards serve the primary function of protecting walls from damage. As people go about their daily lives, walls are particularly prone to being knocked or scuffed around their base. A skirting board acts as a barrier to prevent plaster from cracking or breaking.
It is possible to install skirting boards on carpets. When installing laminate or tiles, a small gap must be left between the flooring and the skirting board. It is therefore recommended that skirting boards do not contact the floor and be installed after the flooring has been installed.
It should be noted that there is a range of common skirting board heights ranging from 120mm to 230mm. Standard skirting board heights are generally between 145mm and 155mm, with 145mm being the most popular.
