Types of Skirting Board

The main materials for the plinth today are: foam, wood and plastic.

Also in certain interiors use gypsum, metal and ceramics.

These materials require certain skills and a tool for processing, so it is very rarely used to make all kinds of DIY crafts.

So, the main material for the skirting board is Styrofoam:

This is a very cheap and very easy to process material, it is remarkably cut and glued, you can buy it in almost any hardware store.

But there are also disadvantages: polystyrene is a very fragile material, any careless movements or falling even from a short distance can ruin the appearance of the product.

Plastic:

The main advantage is that plastic is a sufficiently strong material for use in modern art, and plastic is not subject to moisture.

The downside is that plastic is more difficult to process than polystyrene and it is made of artificial materials.

Tree:

The main advantage of a tree is its naturalness; you must agree that no matter what material looks like a tree, a natural tree can be seen immediately.

The beauty and environmental friendliness of the material still does not give indifference to a large number of people, despite the rather high cost compared to other materials and the difficulty in processing.
