Nova Vita Flush Finish Skirting Boards

A refined flush finish skirting board system featuring soft curved detailing and matching door jambs. A refined, ultra-modern alternative to shadowline for contemporary Australian interiors.

Design Benefits of Nova Vita Flush Finish Skirting

A Softer Alternative to Shadowline

Traditional shadowline skirting features sharp, linear edges and strong shadow detailing. Nova Vita replaces these square forms with subtle curves, adding warmth and movement while maintaining a minimalist flush appearance.

Designed for Contemporary Interior Styles

Nova Vita suits:

  • Soft contemporary homes
  • Modern coastal projects
  • Scandi-inspired interiors
  • Minimalist interiors seeking softer, refined detailing

A Complete Skirting System

Nova Vita is part of Intrim’s flush finish skirting systems, engineered for clean integration with standard 10mm and 13mm plasterboard.

Available in both 1-piece and 2-piece configurations, the system accommodates different flooring installation sequences while preserving the recessed finish.

Each skirting profile has a matching 2-piece door jamb, ensuring a seamless, cohesive look throughout the space.

Matching Nova Vita Door Jambs

Every Nova Vita flush finish skirting profile is paired with a coordinated 2-piece door jamb system.

The jamb design reflects the curved detailing of the skirting, ensuring visual continuity throughout the interior. This allows designers, architects, and builders to maintain a consistent language across walls, openings, and transitions.

Door jambs are designed to suit:

  • 90mm stud widths
  • 10mm or 13mm plasterboard

Custom sizing is available on request.

The result is a cohesive, integrated finish rather than a standard square-edged jamb detail alongside curved skirting.

1-Piece and 2-Piece Skirting Options

1-Piece System 2-Piece System
  • Ideal for carpet or polished concrete
  • Installed as a single integrated unit
  • Suitable when flooring is installed prior to plasterboard
  • Recommended for timber or tiled flooring
  • Removable lower section allows flooring to be installed after plasterboard
  • Maintains a clean recessed appearance once re-fitted

Both options preserve the flush finish while providing flexibility during construction.

Nova Vita vs. Shadowline Skirting

While both systems deliver a recessed skirting finish, their visual expression differs.

Shadowline Nova Vita
  • Square-edge detailing
  • Strong linear shadow
  • Suited to minimal, rectilinear interiors
  • Soft, curved profiles
  • No sharp, external edges
  • Adds softness and a modern, organic feel
  • Offers designers an entirely new minimalist but warm range

The choice depends on the desired interior aesthetic. Projects seeking sharper geometry may favour Shadowline, while those aiming for a softer architectural detail should specify Nova Vita.

The Nova Vita Profile Range

The collection features three distinct curved profile options, each available with matching door jambs.

Profiles vary by visible height and detail width, allowing designers to select a proportion that suits the scale and style of the project.

Skirting heights are listed by visible height, measured from the floor to the top of the profile detail, simplifying specification.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Nova Vita® Collection?

Nova Vita® is a flush finish skirting board system featuring soft curved recessed profiles and coordinated matching door jambs. It provides a minimalist but warm modern alternative to traditional square-edged shadowline skirting.

How is Nova Vita® different from Shadowline Skirting?

Shadowline skirting features a square, linear edge. Nova Vita® introduces curved detailing with a recessed profile, creating a gentler architectural finish while maintaining a flush installation.

Does Nova Vita® have a matching door jamb?

Yes. Every Nova Vita® skirting profile is supported by a coordinated 2-piece door jamb system designed to maintain consistency throughout the interior.

Should I choose the 1-piece or 2-piece skirting system?

Choose the 1-piece skirting system for carpet or polished concrete floors installed before plasterboard.

Choose the 2-piece skirting system for timber or tiled floors where the skirting needs to be installed after plastering and the lower section can be temporarily removed to allow for flooring installation.

Is Nova Vita® suitable for standard plasterboard thicknesses?

Yes. Profiles are available to suit both 10mm and 13mm plasterboard, the most common wall linings in Australian residential construction.

When should Nova Vita® door jambs be installed?

Install the door jambs after the plasterboard is fitted and the skirting boards have been installed to ensure a clean, integrated flush finish.

How much does Nova Vita® cost?

Nova Vita® is priced in line with comparable Intrim skirting profiles of similar size, material, and thickness. Pricing is available via the INTRADE online trade portal once registered. 

How do I choose the correct Nova Vita® skirting size?

Nova Vita® skirting sizes are listed by visible height – the measurement from the floor up to the top of the flush finish groove. This makes selecting the right size simple and intuitive. The overall height includes the ribbed section that is set with plaster. Full sizing options are available in this table of dimensions.
