Skirting board finishes: Choosing the right look for your home

Jan 13, 2025

Our team believes your floors should be as unique as your space and your interior tastes. With a wide range of options in colouring, oiling, and finishing, Weatherbar can transform any profiles into custom works of art, tailored to your style and match your flooring. From classic tones to richer shades, through lacquers and our hand-applied, layered oiling processes, combined with various textured finishes, this process allows for infinite possibilities, giving each floor its own bespoke charm.

Colouring, oiling and finishing

White, cream, grey, brown, black, beige, red and yellow, to name a few. At Weatherbar we have a myriad of tints and colours that can be applied to our hardwood profiles. Utilising a coloured oil system, which sees multiple layers used to build colour, we can match profiles to any flooring. And, when combined with different surface textures, we can create an incredible and unique range of finishes.

All products are finished with an oil top coat. Once cured, the oil provides a strong bond with the surface of the wood. This bond helps protect from moisture, spilt liquids and general dirt and debris. Oiling hardwood floors gives a satin-matt finish that moves away from reflective and glossy lacquered floors available elsewhere on the market. Where lacquered floors are prone to chipping and uneven wear; oiled flooring has a tendency to wear more naturally and is easily touched up or repaired with reapplication of the original oil.

All colours and oils are applied by hand in our workshop.; and when we say hand-finished, we really do mean, hand-finished. Care and attention goes in to every order we fulfil, so your products are perfect, every time.

 

Sanding, brushing and distressing

Smooth and silky? Textured and detailed? Rough and worn? With our advanced equipment and in-house expertise in hand-finishing your orders, matching your profile to the wooden floors you have selected for your home is easy. Weatherbar can create different surface finishes for your bespoke product selection, dependent upon your preference. All degrees of sanding, brushing and distressing end up with the same surface protection. The surface detailing really only reflects in how the ood feels underfoot. 

All brushing, sanding and distressing is achieved using profiles, matching your floor finish perfectly, and with just one pass through. Brushing and sanding can be achieved quickly and efficiently meaning the surface is beautifully prepared, ready for our team to hand finish it.

 

This is just a small example of what the experienced, expert team at Weatherbar can achieve. Lacquers with different sheens and project specific requirements can often be accommodated too. Get in touch with the team today to find out exactly how we can help you complete your project.
