Need colonial-style skirting boards over 5m

[gene]

 hi is this a floor skirting board or an architrave  that goes around windows and doors? I want to buy colonial skirting boards over 5 metres and didn't find bunnings staff helpful as they didn't know the answers to this question. Or where I can find the skirting boards over 5 metres in the shop. Thankyou.

Hi @gene,

Sorry to read that you didn't have a good experience in-store. Our resident Bunnings D.I.Y. experts Mitch and Eric are unfortunately not working today, but will be keen to assist you as soon as possible. Let me also tag @JacobZ95 to see if he can assist in the meantime.

Thanks for your patience,

Jason

Hi @gene,

This can be used for either but generally speaking it would be a skirting board. 

Architraves tend to be between 42-68mm so they don’t make the window or door look too large and clunky, but it all comes down to preference really. I think the most important thing is that all your mouldings (skirts, architraves, window trims, etc) all match. 

I couldn’t speak specifically for your local store but generally there will be “pigeon racks” in the timberyard which store 5.4m lengths timber mouldings.

Hope this helps,

Jacob
