Yes. Most Morbi factories can supply skirting that matches their floor tiles. It is usually cut from the same tile, so the colour and pattern match the floor.
The key is to order skirting with the floor tiles, from the same batch and shade. Skirting ordered later from a new batch may not match.
How skirting is made
There are two common ways to make skirting:
- Cut skirting is sliced from a full floor tile into strips, often around 75 to 100 mm high, and the top edge is ground smooth.
- Dedicated skirting is pressed or finished as a separate piece, sometimes with a rounded or bullnose top edge.
Cut skirting is the most common, because it uses the same tile as the floor. The factory or a nearby processing unit cuts the strips after sorting. Ask which method the factory uses and who does the cutting.
What to agree
- The height and length of each skirting piece, in millimetres.
- The edge finish on the top edge: straight cut, ground, polished or bullnose.
- Whether the skirting is cut from the same batch and shade as the floor tiles.
- The quantity, usually in running metres, and how it is packed.
- The grade, since cut strips can show edge chips that a full tile does not.
How much to order
Your customers buy skirting by the running metre, so estimate it from typical room sizes. Add an allowance for cuts at corners and doorways. The factory can tell you how many strips it cuts from one tile.
Keep spare skirting with spare floor tiles from the same batch. That way, damaged pieces can be replaced to match. Our guide on shade and batch numbers explains why matching batches matter.
Other matching pieces
Many factories also make matching steps, stair noses and decor pieces for their floor designs. For outdoor ranges, ask about matching steps and copings. Check that each piece uses the same batch and finish.
Polished tiles need extra care. The cut edge of a PGVT skirting strip shows the body under the glaze. Ask for a polished or ground edge if the top edge will be visible.
Packing and inspection
Skirting strips are narrow and break easily. Ask for strong boxes with dividers and edge protection. Check a few boxes during loading for chips, straight edges and correct shade.
Mark skirting boxes with the same design, shade and batch codes as the floor tiles. That makes it easy for your warehouse and your customers to match them.
If you sell under your own brand, the skirting boxes can carry your branding too. Order the printed boxes at the same time as the floor tile boxes.
