The D.A.R Timber Skirting Cover is a clean, straight-edged profile ideal for minimalist or modern interiors. Kadura’s DAR Timber Skirting Cover installs easily over existing skirting to give any room a sharp, architectural finish. Its square profile gives you a clean architectural line that pairs effortlessly with hybrid, vinyl plank, laminate, and carpet flooring. Made from solid timber and designed to slide directly over existing skirting, it provides a fast, mess-free upgrade without demolition. Perfect for builders, renovators, and homeowners wanting a simple, refined look that complements any contemporary space.

The Kadura skirting range will comfortably fit over existing skirting up to 93mm in height and between 10mm-12mm in width. This will exclude our Lambs Tongue C skirting as it will only be suitable for heights up to 66mm. Kadura capped skirting can be used over 33mm, 66mm and 92mm skirting.

Before placing an order, we strongly recommend ordering samples to make sure this product will fit directly over your existing skirting. We always recommend any of our products be installed by a professional or experienced DIYer.

What is this Skirting?
The D.A.R Timber Skirting Cover, also known as a D.A.R Capped Skirting Board, offers a clean, square edge that suits modern homes and commercial spaces. Its straight face creates a crisp transition between wall and floor, and it adds clarity to long architectural lines. This profile works well in minimalist renovations and new builds. Additionally, it pairs neatly with timber flooring, hybrid flooring, tiles, and carpet. For example, the square shape gives rooms a modern and structured feel.
Where This Profile Works Best
This timber skirting cover slides directly over your existing skirting boards, so you can upgrade without demolition or wall repairs. As a result, installation stays fast, clean, and dust-free. It is ideal during flooring replacements, rental updates, and staged renovations. Furthermore, you can simply apply adhesive, position the board, and secure it with a finishing nail gun. In addition, you can paint or stain the timber to match your chosen interior colours. Moreover, the flat face makes cleaning easy, which keeps edges looking tidy.
Installation at a Glance
First, measure each wall and cut the boards to length. Next, run construction adhesive along the back of each piece. Then press the skirting cover over the old skirting and secure it using a finishing nail gun. Afterward, fill nail holes and lightly sand the surface. Finally, paint for a clean, durable finish. Therefore, both trades and confident DIY renovators can achieve a professional result. Meanwhile, the square edge helps protect walls from bumps and vacuum marks.
