Moisture is the main factor to consider when choosing skirting boards for the bathroom. While full flooding is rare, splashes, spills, and constant steam can cause issues with some materials.
MDF usually isn’t ideal, as it tends to swell and expand when exposed to moisture, making it prone to damage. Traditional woods work better in bathrooms because they’re easier to finish and more resistant to moisture.
Since bathrooms often have vinyl or laminate flooring instead of carpet, gaps around the edges are common—making skirting boards essential for a clean, finished look.
What to look for when choosing skirting boards for the bathroom
Traditional woods such as Oak, Pine, Tulipwood or Sapele can be coated with a primer before painting, to add an extra layer of protection. This means a skirting board in any of these materials should be suitable for a bathroom, where moisture contact is possible. Painting or varnishing your wooden skirting boards also acts to hide any imperfections.
The size of your bathroom often influences your choice of skirting board style. Since bathrooms are usually smaller, a more modest and understated skirting board may suit the space better than a bold, deep design. If your bathroom has a modern, minimal look, you might want to skip the more decorative period styles and go for a simpler, contemporary option instead.
Another factor to consider when choosing skirting boards for the bathroom is that wall tiles are often used. If you are replacing skirting boards therefore, you need to be careful that your new skirting boards will sit flush to the wall tiles and won’t stand proud of them. Or vice versa. This is not a factor with a normally painted wall, but wall tiles can make a critical difference.
