Aluminium skirting boards are replacing traditional timber skirting in modern architectural projects. They deliver a cleaner finish, require less maintenance, and offer greater long-term durability. INVI AluBase® provides shadow gap and flat skirting profiles designed for contemporary interiors focused on minimalism, precision, and clean detailing.
What Are Aluminium Skirting Boards?
INVI AluBase® Aluminium Skirting Board is available in two main profiles:
- Shadowline (shadow gap)
- Skirting flat
These systems are commonly used in residential and commercial architecture where a modern, minimal finish is required.
Why Are Architects Moving Away from Timber Skirting?
Traditional skirting often:
- Warps over time due to moisture and temperature changes
- Requires regular repainting and maintenance
- Chips or dents in high-traffic areas
- Limits clean, modern detailing
Aluminium skirting provides a more precise, durable, and consistent alternative that better suits modern interior design.
