How do Clip-On Skirting Boards Work?
Clip-on skirting boards provide a simple solution for finishing walls. Here’s how they work:
Each board has clips on the back that attach directly to the wall. This design allows for a secure hold without nails or adhesives, making installation quick and easy.
Each set includes corner pieces and end caps. These accessories ensure a perfect fit at corners and edges, giving your room a complete look.
These skirting boards can be mounted on various wall surfaces, including smooth and textured walls. This versatility means they can be used in different spaces, whether at home or in an office.
Once attached, the clips keep the boards securely in place. This stability ensures that they won’t shift over time, providing peace of mind.
What are the Benefits of Clip-On Skirting Boards?
Clip-on skirting boards offer several practical advantages that make them a valuable addition to any space. Here are eight key benefits:
The clip-on design allows for efficient installation without the need for nails or adhesives. This feature enables straightforward setup, making it easier to complete renovations or new projects promptly.
These skirting boards can be easily removed and reattached, providing convenient access to wiring or plumbing behind the walls. This functionality is particularly useful during maintenance or updates, allowing for adjustments without damaging the wall surface.
The clips ensure that the skirting boards sit tightly against the wall, preventing gaps. This secure fit contributes to a polished look that enhances the overall finish of a room.
Clip-on skirting boards are designed to work with various wall surfaces, including smooth and textured finishes. This versatility makes them suitable for different environments, from residential properties to commercial spaces.
Constructed from aluminum and stainless steel, these skirting boards resist rust and moisture. Their robust design ensures they can withstand daily use, maintaining their appearance even in high-traffic areas.
By simplifying installation and minimizing the need for additional materials, clip-on skirting boards can lower overall project costs. This efficiency can lead to savings on both materials and labor expenses.
These skirting boards effectively hide electrical cables along walls, helping to keep your space organized and reducing potential tripping hazards associated with exposed wires.
Available in various styles and finishes, clip-on skirting boards can complement different interior design themes. Whether you prefer a contemporary or classic look, there are options available to suit your aesthetic preferences.
What Accessories are Available for Clip-On Skirting Boards?
Our clip-on skirting board system makes installation straightforward and gives a neat, finished look to any room. To make sure you get the best results, we offer a range of matching accessories.
Mounting Clips
These are how the skirticng attaches to the wall. They fix at regular intervals, providing a secure hold. You simply clip the skirting onto them. Getting the right clip for your skirting profile is important for a good fit, and correct spacing stops the skirting from bowing.
Internal Corners
Where two skirting boards meet at an inside corner—like where two walls join—these ready-made pieces create a neat, seamless join. They save you the hassle of cutting accurate mitres, which can be tricky to get right. They provide a clean finish in these often awkward spots.
External Corners
For outside corners, such as around chimney breasts or other protruding features, these protect the skirting edges from knocks and bumps and give a finished look. They also make fitting easier, as you don't need to make precise angled cuts.
End Caps (Left & Right)
These tidy up the exposed ends of the skirting, usually where it meets a door frame, kitchen units, or the end of a wall. We offer both left- and right-hand versions for a symmetrical finish.
Connectors
If you're fitting skirting along a long wall and need to join two lengths, our connectors provide a smooth, almost invisible join, keeping the run looking consistent.
How to Install Clip-On Skirting Boards?
Installing our clip-on skirting boards is a straightforward process, even for DIY beginners. Here’s a step-by-step guide:
Start by accurately measuring the length of each wall where you'll be fitting the skirting. It’s a good idea to double-check your measurements to avoid mistakes.
Using a saw (a mitre saw is ideal for corners), cut the skirting boards to the lengths you measured. For internal corners, you’ll usually need to make a butt joint (where one board simply butts up against the other). For external corners, you’ll need to cut mitres (angled cuts that meet to form a corner). Take your time with this step to ensure clean, accurate cuts.
Decide where you want to position the mounting clips on the wall. We recommend placing them every 40-60cm (roughly 16-24 inches), but you might need more for longer lengths or uneven walls. Mark the positions with a pencil.
Using screws appropriate for your wall type (e.g., drywall screws for plasterboard, masonry screws for brick), attach the mounting clips to the wall at the marked positions. Make sure they’re level and securely fastened.
Now for the easy part! Simply align the skirting board with the mounted clips and push firmly until it clicks into place. You should hear a distinct click when it’s properly secured.
Finally, add the finishing touches. Use internal and external corner pieces to create neat joins in the corners, and use end caps to tidy up any exposed ends. If you’ve had to join two lengths of skirting, use the connectors to create a smooth, continuous run.
Tips for a Professional Finish:
How Many Skirting Clips Should I Use?
Using the right number of clips will ensure your clip-on skirting boards are fitted securely and look their best. We recommend spacing clips according to the skirting's length, using a simple ratio as a guide.
We typically use three different ratios, depending on the specifics of your project:
1:1 Ratio (One Clip per Meter)
This means one clip for every meter of skirting. This provides maximum hold and is usually best for:
Example: A 1.5-meter length of skirting would ideally use 1.5 clips. Since you can't use half a clip, round up to 2 for the best support.
1:2 Ratio (Two Clips per Meter)
This is our most common recommendation, offering a good balance between support and ease of fitting. It's suitable for most standard installations on reasonably straight walls.
Example: A 3.5-meter length of skirting would use 7 clips (3.5 meters x 2 clips/meter = 7 clips).
1:3 Ratio (Three Clips per Meter)
This provides the strongest hold and is recommended for:
Example: A 5-meter length of skirting on a slightly uneven wall would use 15 clips (5 meters x 3 clips/meter = 15 clips).
Getting the Best Results:
These ratios are a useful starting point. Here are a few other things to consider:
