With the continuous development of interior design, all kinds of new skirting boards and designs emerge. Using LED light strips on skirting boards can produce significant decorative effects, easily changing the home or office environment. This innovative and modern solution can instantly transform spaces into warm and eye-catching atmospheres. In this guide, we'll delve into everything you need to know about LED skirting boards – their purpose, their advantages, and how you can effortlessly install them to create a chic, well-lit environment.

What is a Skirting Board?   

A skirting board is basically a decorative panel extending along the junction of the interior wall and floor. It can cover the edges, prevent furniture from scratching the walls, and provide a neat decorative surface for the room. LED-lit skirting boards come in various shapes and sizes, providing concealed lighting that emits from the edges, or can be installed on walls to create a cove lighting effect. Using LED light strips on skirting boards can produce significant decorative effects and create warm, eye-catching atmospheres.

The Functions of Skirting Board

• Protects the wall from damage when the mop is mopping the floor
• Easily create a warm and comfortable atmosphere in any room by adding LED lighting strips
• Hide exposed wires, using LED light strips instead of irremovable traditional wiring
• Cover gaps between walls and floors. Construction defects may cause gaps, and skirting boards can avoid high reconstruction costs
• Compared with ordinary skirting boards, LED skirting boards have both lighting and decorative functions, and can create atmospheres through lighting effects, making them more innovative products.

2. Select the required LED strip models and test to confirm normal operation
3. Cut materials according to size and adhere the LED strips to the back of the skirting boards
4. Install the whole skirting board system at the boundary between the wall and floor
5. Power on to check the effects and adjust light color temperature

Installation Tips

• Properly cut materials at corners to ensure neatness
• Plan power access points ahead to avoid exposed wires
