In modern corporate headquarters, luxury residential villas, and sterile hospital environments across India, traditional wooden and PVC skirting boards are rapidly being replaced by architectural extruded aluminium skirting profiles.
Wooden baseboards absorb mop water, rot over time, and attract termites. Plastic PVC skirting boards look cheap, warp in heat, and crack when struck by vacuum cleaners or luggage trolleys.
In contrast, Jindal Aluminium skirting extrusions provide sharp architectural lines, 100% moisture immunity, hidden screw mounting via snap-on clips, and integrated internal channels for running network ethernet cables and indirect LED mood lighting along the floor line.
The 3 Primary Styles of Aluminium Skirting Systems
1. Clip-On Concealed
Mounting base brackets screw directly into the wall. The aluminium front cover snaps firmly into place, concealing all screws while allowing easy removal for cable maintenance.
2. Integrated LED Channel
Features an internal groove and frosted polycarbonate diffuser that casts a gentle downward floor wash light, creating a dramatic floating wall effect in corridors and lobbies.
3. Flush Plaster-In Trim
Installed before wall plastering. The skirting profile sits completely flush with the drywall or gypsum board, creating a seamless European shadow gap with zero wall protrusion.

4 Key Advantages of Aluminium Skirting Over Wood & PVC
1. 100% Termite & Moisture Proof
Indian wet-mopping practices cause wooden skirting to swell and delaminate within two years. Aluminium extrusions are impervious to water, floor cleaning chemicals, and subterranean termites.
2. Concealed Corner Joiner Accessories
Eliminates messy 45-degree hand mitering on-site. Matching die-cast aluminium internal corners, external 90-degree corner caps, and left/right end stop caps deliver factory-perfect seam alignment.
3. Integrated Wire Routing Raceway
The hollow interior cavity accommodates low-voltage network cables, speaker wires, and telephone cables without requiring messy wall chasing or visible plastic surface conduits.
4. Scratch-Resistant Architectural Finishes
Available in high-micron brushed natural silver anodizing, champagne bronze, electro-matt black, and tough powder-coated architectural RAL colors that withstand accidental vacuum cleaner bumps.

How are aluminium skirting profiles fastened to masonry walls?
Mounting clips are secured to the brick or plasterboard wall using nylon wall plugs and countersunk screws spaced every 400mm to 500mm. The aluminium cover plate then snaps securely onto the clips with light hand pressure.
