Bold architectural character for contemporary farmhouse and coastal interiors

Make a statement with the Intrim SK551 skirting profile – a substantial moulding designed to bring depth, proportion, and architectural sophistication to modern interiors. Exclusively designed for use as a skirting board, SK551 combines classic detailing with contemporary scale, creating a striking finish that anchors a room with confidence and character.

Perfectly suited to Modern Farmhouse, Hamptons, and classic interiors, SK551 features a generous rounded top moulding and a double stepped lower profile. With its 25mm thickness and availability in larger heights, SK551 is particularly effective in homes with higher ceilings and generous room proportions, where a more substantial skirting profile helps establish visual balance and architectural presence.

As featured in this luxury country farmhouse by Astina, SK551 demonstrates how carefully chosen mouldings can add warmth, texture, and architectural detail to contemporary homes. Its substantial proportions complement the layered, relaxed interiors featured throughout the project while providing a sophisticated finishing touch at floor level.

Please note: SK551 is a skirting-only profile. If you’re looking for a coordinating architrave to complete your design, choose SK552, specifically designed to complement SK551 for a cohesive interior finish.

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.
