Ogee skirting boards

Ogee skirting boards are used in modern UK construction to cover the join between walls and floors, helping to hide expansion gaps and protect plaster finishes. The term ogee refers to the board’s curved profile - an S-shaped curve that combines a concave and convex arc. This design has been used since traditional timber mouldings, though most current products are made from MDF for consistency and ease of fitting.

Today’s ogee skirting boards are common in both domestic and commercial builds, installed during second-fix joinery. Options include standard or moisture-resistant MDF in multiple heights and lengths. Boards may come pre-primed and ready for painting, or raw for site finishing. You may also see these listed as ‘og skirting’, a common abbreviation in trade catalogues.
