Overview
Decoratively layered and unmistakably heritage in feel — the Period profile carries the kind of properly composed curvature that defined skirting in the great terraces and villas of the 19th century, delivering genuine architectural depth at the floor line. Cut from moisture-resistant MDF and factory primed, the skirting board arrives with crisp shadow lines and a paint-ready face across the full visible surface.

A natural specification for Victorian terraces, Edwardian villas, listed-building refurbishments, and heritage-style new builds where the original skirting has been lost to past refits. Equally well-placed in country-house schemes chasing serious traditional feel. Pairs with the rest of our period skirting and architrave range. FSC® certified, made to order in Epsom, Surrey, with 5–7 working day delivery.

Cost-Effective

Generally cheaper than solid hardwood or pine, allowing for budget-friendly renovations.

Smooth Finish & Easy to Paint

Because MDF is a consistent, man-made material without knots or natural defects, it offers a superior surface for painting, resulting in a cleaner, more consistent finish.

Durable and Stable

MDF is dense and less prone to warping, twisting, or bowing over time compared to natural wood, ensuring a straight finish.

Moisture Resistant

All MR Mouldings stock is supplied in moisture-resistant grade MDF, ideal for kitchens, bathrooms and utility rooms.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are your mouldings made from?

Every MR Mouldings profile is machined from premium MDF — a stable, paint-ready engineered timber. MDF holds detail cleanly, won't split or warp like softwood, and finishes to a glass-smooth surface once primed.

Are your products FSC® certified?

Yes. All MR Mouldings MDF is FSC® certified, sourced from responsibly managed forests. Certification documents are available on request for trade and architectural specifiers.

How long does delivery take?

Orders are delivered within 5–7 working days (Monday to Friday, excluding bank holidays). Delivery is kerbside by courier or pallet. Delivery is from £30 (London and Surrey), £34.55 (Wales), £41.45 (rest of England) and £51.45 (Scotland, including the Highlands and Islands), shown at checkout when you enter your postcode. We can’t currently deliver to Northern Ireland, the Isle of Man or the Channel Islands.

Collection from our Epsom workshop is free and usually ready within 3–5 working days.

Do you offer fire-rated mouldings?

Yes. We supply Euroclass B fire-rated MDF mouldings for HMOs, communal areas and other regulated buildings. Fire-rated profiles carry “Fire Rated” in the product name and are grouped in our Fire Rated MDF collection. Contact us for a project quote or certification.

What's your returns policy?

Made-to-order lengths are machined to your specification, so they can’t be returned or cancelled once production has started unless they arrive faulty or damaged — in which case we replace them at our cost. Stock items such as adhesives, tools and accessories can be returned unused within 14 days. Full terms are on our returns page.

How should I store the mouldings before fitting?

Let your mouldings acclimatise flat in the room they'll be fitted in for at least 48 hours before installation. Keep them off bare concrete or damp floors and away from direct radiators.

Do they come pre-primed and ready to paint?

You choose. Select Primed when configuring your product and it arrives factory-primed and lightly sanded, ready for a top coat. Select Non Primed for raw MDF you prime yourself. Either way, a light scuff with fine-grit paper between coats gives the smoothest finish.
