When it comes to choosing uPVC skirting for your home, the decision often comes down to chamfered vs ogee skirting. Both styles offer unique benefits and aesthetics, but which one best suits your space? In this guide, we’ll break down the differences so you can make the right choice for your interior.



What Is Chamfered Skirting?


Chamfered skirting boards have a simple, angled edge that slopes down from the top. This clean-cut profile creates a smooth transition between your walls and flooring, offering a modern and minimal look.

Best for:

  • Contemporary interiors

  • Open-plan spaces

  • Rooms with modern furniture and sharp lines

Why choose chamfered skirting?

  • Sleek and subtle

  • Easy to clean

  • Works well with most flooring types

  • Ideal for making small rooms feel bigger

What Is Ogee Skirting?


Ogee skirting boards feature a curved “S” shape profile that’s more decorative and traditional in appearance. The flowing lines and detailed edges make them a classic choice for adding character to a room.

Best for:

  • Period properties

  • Cosy living rooms and bedrooms

  • Homes with traditional furniture and fittings

Why choose ogee skirting?

  • Adds depth and detail

  • Great for feature rooms

  • Complements ornate architraves

  • Helps soften square corners

What About Colours and Finishes?


Both styles are available in White Satin, Anthracite Grey, and Oak-effect finishes, with 100mm and 150mm height options.

Whatever your preference, Roomline skirting boards come pre-finished, scratch-resistant, and made from recycled uPVC – no sanding or painting needed.


Which Should You Choose?


If you want a modern, fuss-free finish, go for Chamfered. If you love traditional detail and depth, Ogee could be the one. Either way, you’ll get a durable, low-maintenance board that’s easy to fit and designed to last.
