    Hi,

    Just wondering if anyone has any thoughts on whether I should put 4" or 6" skirting boards into a new build?

    It's personal choice, but we went for 6" painted, and it looks lovely.
    Unless its a very contemporary design, 4" could look a bit stark, I think.

    +1 also, If you have high ceilings then 6" for sure but its a personal choice. Builders during the boom fitted 4" to most houses because it was cheaper. If you look at both together you'll make a decision quicker.

    Definitly 6",do all your priming ,undercoating and sanding before fitting as its a lot easier.

    I think this is a 6" skirting with a 4" skirting attached onto it

    Looks like 6" with architrave fixed to it.

    It will probably look better when its spray painted ( i assume it will be), but my thoughts exactly when i looked at it first...
