Classic Base Plinth Blocks for Elegant Transitions
Base plinth blocks — also known as skirting blocks, plinth blocks or door plinth blocks — are classic architectural details used where door architraves (casings) meet skirting boards (baseboards). They offer both visual refinement and functional value, creating a defined and harmonious transition at the bottom of door trims.
Historic Purpose – Contemporary Appeal
In the past, wooden floors were regularly scrubbed with water, which could cause moisture damage to the exposed end grain of door architraves. Instead of replacing the entire trim, homeowners would simply replace the plinth block when needed. Today, while the practical function remains part of their legacy, these blocks are mainly appreciated for their timeless aesthetic and ability to elevate interior design.
Choosing the Right Size for Proportion and Balance
To achieve a balanced and well-proportioned result, the base plinth block should be slightly wider than the door architrave (casing) and at least as tall as the skirting board. This helps the elements connect visually and enhances the architectural character of the room.
Ready for Paint or Finish
Our base plinth blocks are made from solid, untreated Swedish pine, allowing you to paint or finish them in any colour you prefer — whether you want a crisp white, antique tone, or bold contrast. The natural wood takes paint beautifully and blends seamlessly into both classic and modern interiors.
