Product Highlights
Fully Waterproof Construction
Manufactured from a rigid, moisture-resistant core, the Palio White Skirting Board is completely waterproof, making it ideal for use in wet and humid environments such as kitchens, bathrooms, utility rooms, cloakrooms, and entranceways. Unlike traditional timber skirting, it won’t swell, warp, or degrade over time when exposed to moisture.
Crisp White Finish
The skirting board features a factory-applied, smooth white finish that looks fresh and clean out of the box. It can be installed as-is for a bright, modern look or painted over with your choice of colour for full customisation. This flexibility makes it suitable for both contemporary and traditional interior schemes.
Heavy-Duty Rigid Core
Built with a rigid internal structure, this skirting board is highly durable and impact-resistant. It maintains its shape and edge definition over time, standing up to knocks from furniture, foot traffic, and cleaning equipment.
Versatile Interior Application
Suitable for both residential and light commercial applications, this skirting board ensures a professional finish across a wide variety of interior spaces, including lounges, bedrooms, offices, hospitality areas, and retail environments.
Effortless Installation
The skirting board is easy to cut and fix into place using conventional woodworking tools and adhesives. Its standard length (2.4 metres) allows for efficient coverage of large areas with fewer joints, reducing installation time and ensuring a clean visual flow around the room.
Low Maintenance
The waterproof and wipe-clean surface makes it exceptionally easy to care for—perfect for environments where hygiene and appearance are a priority.
