Should I Get A Floor Skirting?
Here is a heated debate that spark on the internet with regards if you should get a floor skirting if you get vinyl flooring. The internet is heated with this debate. Here are the considerations if you should be getting a skirting.
Why you should be getting a skirting:
- To hide the joint area between the wall and flooring, making the flooring aesthetically pleasing to the eye.
- Protect the lower part of the walls. They form a barrier at the bottom of the wall. When you move furniture or vacuum
- Hiding wiring between the space of skirting and the wall.

Why you should not be getting a skirting:
- Regular cleaning and repainting required.
- Skirting board can collect dust. As skirting board is close to the ground and naturally exposed to dust and dirt. Thus, regular cleaning is required with skirting board.
- Difficult to remove. It is considered to be a permanent fixture. Using strong adhesive, removing the skirting will result in tearing the paint apart. Usually skirting will run across all four walls of the room. Thus, a paint job will be needed when you decided to remove skirting.
- Space between flooring can be obvious if floor is uneven. This can be solved by self-levelling before.
