Title: MDF Skirting Profiles
Post by sunclock on Nov 25^th, 2006, 12:31pm

I,m trying to match up a mdf skirting profile simalar to "o-Gee" with out much luck

It in a "Barrets House" roughly 5-7 years old in Cumbria.
The local Jewsons & TP branches have no supply options a local builder thinks it is called sam****** from Ireland can any one come up with a list of profiles or suppliers for me

Many thanks Sunclock :-/

Try your local Wickes, MDF Ogee Skirting, 119mm x 14mm in 2.4m lengths. Their code No is 162-644 for a pack of 4, should cost about £15.

Hope this helps

Howdens also sell MDF skirting.

Hi sunclock, and firstly , a warm welcome to this here forum,

you can name the suggested manufacturer/trade name on here! ( unless of course it is deemed offensive!! ::) )

how ever , as with any type of skirting, from Cumbria to Kent, unless the supplying timber yard always goes back to the same individual ORIGINAL manufacturer it can and usually is different,
i have in the past had the problem caused by my tooling supplier, i used the same codes for the new replacement blades, only to find they had been altered by 2mm by the tooling manufacturer!! (was not a happy bunny!!)

it may be a case of finding the nearest one to the profile you need, and "blending" it into the existing, or even the age old trick (lot more work i know) , but taking the required bit from somewhere that is the same but does not notice if a replacement "similar" section is used to replace it!

regards Wolf!
