One of the most attractive features of the chamfered profile for customers is its ease of cleaning. 

Its design does not allow dust to accumulate on the profile, making maintenance a breeze.

What Is A Rebated Skirting?

For the sake of hiding away wires and pipes, a skirting board can be engineered with grooves of varying depths and thicknesses. These artistic rebates efficiently allow for wires to fit snugly behind them, making for a more cohesive finish.
