A plinth block (also known as a skirting block) is simply a piece of MDF or wood which is slightly thicker and wider than your skirting board and architrave. It sits at the bottom of the architrave and either the right or left of the skirting board depending on the position of the door frame. Plinth blocks have been designed to help create smoother transitions between the two.
At Skirting 4 U, we manufacture skirting and architrave from the best available MR (moisture resistant) MDF. This blog explores key information about MDF in general, as well as the specific properties of the MDF we use.
With some online skirting board retailers claiming to manufacture their products from ‘superior’ HDF, we examine the differences between HDF and MDF.
Moisture resistant MDF is often green in colour, but not always. This article explains why some moisture resistant MDF has a green dye running through the material and why some does not.
