Skirting Blocks, Architrave Blocks and Corner Blocks

Period homes often have irregular wall, door and floor measurements, which can leave gaps where skirting boards, architraves and mouldings meet. Plinth blocks and architrave plinth blocks give these joins a neater, more deliberate finish while helping the wider moulding scheme feel consistent.

Oak, Pine and Decorative Plinth Block Options

Proudly made in Yorkshire, our blocks and plinths are crafted from quality timbers including oak, pine, tulipwood and sapele. Whether you need an oak plinth block, pine plinth block or a solid wood plinth block for painting or finishing, the range is built to complement traditional interiors.

Choosing the Right Plinth Block Moulding

Choose skirting blocks when you need a neat transition at floor level, architrave blocks when you want a stronger framed doorway, and corner blocks when you need a decorative finish at a moulding junction. If you are matching an existing profile, compare the height, depth and chamfer detail of each plinth block moulding before ordering.

Plinth Block FAQs

What is a plinth block?

A plinth block is a decorative timber block fitted at the base of a doorway, usually where the architrave meets the skirting board. It helps cover the join, tidy uneven gaps and give the doorway a stronger period-style finish.

Are plinth blocks used with skirting boards or architraves?

Plinth blocks are commonly used with both skirting boards and architraves. They usually sit at the foot of the architrave, creating a neat transition between the door frame, the wall and the skirting board.

What is the difference between skirting blocks and architrave blocks?

Skirting blocks are generally used at floor level to finish or join skirting boards, while architrave blocks are used around door or window frames. A plinth block can often work as both, helping the skirting and architrave meet cleanly.

Can I order oak or pine plinth blocks?

Yes. Our blocks and plinths are available in quality timber options including oak, pine, tulipwood and sapele, giving you a choice of material for painted, stained or clear finished interiors.

How do I choose the right plinth block size?

Choose a plinth block that suits the height, width and depth of your skirting boards and architraves. For the neatest finish, compare the block against your existing moulding profile and check the height, depth and chamfer detail before ordering.
