How much is skirting and will it make a difference?
Skirting comes in all different sizes and profiles, for example a 5.4m length of half splayed won't be the same as 140mm high colonial.
What we can tell you is no matter what skirting you buy, our lineal meter rate stays the same. Will it make a difference?
