Intrim® SK187 Skirting & Architrave

French Provincial

SK187

Made To Order Profile

Classic French Provincial elegance with generous proportions

Create a sense of grandeur and timeless sophistication with the Intrim SK187 skirting and architrave profile – a substantial moulding designed to bring architectural presence to luxurious traditional interiors.

Perfectly suited to French Provincial and other classic European-inspired interiors, SK187 features a beautifully balanced profile with a refined cove beneath the top edge, a clean recessed centre section, and a bold sweeping lower curve. The combination of flowing lines and generous proportions creates elegant shadow lines, depth, and visual weight, making SK187 particularly effective in rooms with higher ceilings and formal architectural detailing.

Unlike more heavily ornamented traditional profiles, SK187 achieves its impact through scale and proportion. The profile’s broad flat face provides a sense of calm and sophistication, while the soft curved detailing introduces just enough decorative character to complement French-inspired homes, luxury residences, and classically detailed interiors. Its substantial 30mm thickness gives the profile greater presence than standard mouldings, making it particularly well suited to premium residential projects where craftsmanship, proportion, and timeless design are paramount.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between skirting and architrave?

Skirting boards are installed along the base of walls to protect surfaces and create a clean transition between wall and floor, while architraves are used around doors and windows to frame openings. Many of our popular In‑Stock profiles are designed to be used for both, helping create a consistent, cohesive finish throughout your space.

What is the difference between primed and unprimed skirting and architraves?

Primed mouldings are coated with primer before leaving our factory. After installation, they only need painting with your final colour. This is fast becoming the preferred option as it saves time and money for the end user. Extra lead time must be allowed if you choose this option. Normally, it will add only a few days to your expected delivery date.

How do you install skirting boards and architraves?

To prepare timber skirting and architraves, you can explore our guide on how to install skirting boards. It involves a process of measuring and cutting the boards to size, before securing them to a wall.

How long is each length of skirting and architrave?

FJ Pine and MDF skirting and architrave are sold in lengths of 5.4 metres.

Are Skirting and Architrave the same profile?

Yes, every profile code can be used. The only difference is that the architrave typically will be of a smaller height when compared to the skirting of the same profile. For example, SK498 is a skirting and an architrave, but the latter will be smaller (66mm, 90mm, or 115 mm), while the former can have a height of up to 285mm.

How much skirting or architrave I will need?

To work this out accurately, you must measure the rooms, doorways and window frames. To learn how to do this, see the guide (how to measure skirting boards). We also offer a free take-off service for our account customers, which allows us to determine your requirements. Simply submit your project details, plans and window schedule. The minimum order quantity is 10 lengths. We recommend increasing your order slightly to allow for any wastage or damage. It is the most cost-effective option, instead of placing a top-up order if you underestimate your requirements.
