Traditionally material for skirting boards is supplied to site as 5.4m lengths with each piece of skirting board requiring to be scribed on site. A scribe completed manually with a coping saw on site takes between 5-8 minutes to complete. Fast Trim is a revolutionary system where the skirting is pre-scribed in our manufacturing facility using state-of-the-art CNC machinery.  This saves significant time on site and is an exact fit for a quality finish.  

Fast Trim really provides the time saving during new home builds and larger commercial projects. You would not normally use Fast Trim for a small renovation.

They are supplied 50mm over the length on the right-hand end allowing for minor variations to the takeoffs. You cut this end to length on site. For Architraves, we determine and supply the required number of pieces of mitred architrave with a mitre to right end and the length, the required number of pieces with a mitre to left end and the length and the number of pieces with mitres to both ends and length.

You will be supplied with your project Architectural plan marked up with colour coding and alpha-numeric code for the location to denote where skirting and architrave have been allowed. One colour for skirting and another for architrave. These will match the labels on each profile piece delivered.

Depending on the size of your order we will provide additional lengths of the profiles to allow for a possible discrepancy of the lengths to the plan and damage.
