Types of Floor Skirting in Singapore
Vinyl floor skirting is basically a furnishing that runs along the bottom of the wall. It has several advantages. Some of the advantages of having a vinyl floor skirting is to hide running wires or cables and it can also be used to decorate your love nest. It can also be used to protect your wall. Hence, it is important to have a skirting for your flooring. Let’s look into the three available skirting options in Singapore.
1) UPVC Vinyl Skirting
The acronym UPVC refers to unplasticized polyvinyl chloride. UPVC is usually one of the default vinyl floor skirting options you will get when you first purchase a flat from HDB in Singapore. The good thing about this is, it is cheap and easy to maintain. It can also be easily replaced when faulty. In the past, the quality of UPVC floor skirting was considered relatively bad in terms of aesthetics. However, today, things have improved tremendously. UPVC vinyl skirting can now be used to match with your flooring’s design or colour.
2) Timber Skirting
Besides UPVC skirting, timber skirting is another possible default in your new BTO flooring. This is also provided by HDB as one of the default options. Just like UPVC, it is easy to install and easy to maintain. However, it may not be that easy to purchase outside should it get damaged. It can be painted over according to the design that you want, and depending on the quality of the timber, it is also possible to remove the paint.
3) Eco Resilient Skirting (ERS)
The latest type of vinyl skirting in Singapore, Eco Resilient Floor Skirting acts as a strong substitute to traditional timber skirting and plastic skirting due to its waterproof and eco-friendly features and durability. Eco resilient skirting is one of the most recommended and cost efficient vinyl floor skirting options as its durability ensures it to be longer lasting.
Floor Skirting is an important furnishing to any house. Hence, do invest time and knowledge in getting the best type of skirting for your home.
