Skirting Boards: A Finishing Touch for Wall and Floor Junctions

Skirting boards provide a neat transition between walls and floors, protecting walls from damage while adding a decorative edge.

Types of Skirting Available at Fringe

• Standard Skirting: Available in materials like MDF, wood, and PVC, standard skirting offers a classic look that suits various interiors, from residential to commercial spaces.

• High Skirting: Ideal for creating a more formal or grand look, high skirting is popular in luxury hotels and boutique settings, adding elegance and presence to walls.

• Recessed Skirting: Recessed skirting creates a seamless look by embedding the profile within the wall, ideal for modern and minimalist spaces.

Material and Style Options

Fringe offers skirting in multiple finishes, including wood, metal, and paintable MDF, allowing designers to customise the look to suit the project. Metal and PVC options are particularly suited for high-traffic commercial areas due to their durability.

Flooring Transition Profiles: Ensuring a Smooth Flow Between Different Floor Types

Flooring transition profiles provide a practical and aesthetic solution for joining different types of flooring, such as between tile and carpet or wood and vinyl. These profiles protect the flooring edges, prevent tripping hazards, and create a cohesive appearance.

Types of Transition Profiles Available at Fringe

• T-Profile Transitions: T-profiles offer a seamless transition between flooring types of similar height. Commonly used between wood and laminate or vinyl and tile, T-profiles prevent flooring edges from lifting.

• Ramp Profiles: For transitions between floors of differing heights, ramp profiles create a gradual slope, reducing tripping hazards and providing accessibility. These are essential in public buildings, hotels, and residential homes with mixed flooring.

• End Profiles: End profiles finish the exposed flooring edges, such as at the edge of a room or near doorways. They provide a clean, finished look and protect the flooring from wear.

Materials and Finishes

Fringe’s transition profiles are made of durable materials like aluminium, stainless steel, and PVC. Colour options, including brushed metal finishes and wood effects, allow for seamless integration into the overall design scheme.

Tiling Edge Trims: Protecting and Enhancing Tile Edges

Tiling edge trims protect the exposed edges of tiles while adding a professional, finished look to tiled surfaces. These trims are essential for high-traffic areas, wet rooms, and spaces where durability is key.

Types of Tiling Trims Available at Fringe

• Straight Edge Trims: These trims create a clean, straight finish on tile edges, perfect for modern and minimalist designs in bathrooms, kitchens, and commercial spaces.

• Round Edge Trims (Bullnose): Round edge trims offer a softer, curved finish, commonly used in residential bathrooms and kitchens where a smoother, softer look is desired.

• L-Shaped and Square Edge Trims: These trims are ideal for creating crisp, angular edges on tiles, particularly suited for contemporary spaces with geometric tile layouts.

Material and Colour Options

Fringe’s tiling trims are available in materials like aluminium, stainless steel, and PVC, ensuring durability and resistance to moisture. They come in chrome, matte black, brushed metal, and powder-coated colours to match or contrast the tile design.

Stair Nosing Profiles: Enhancing Safety and Durability

Stair nosing profiles reduce wear and improve safety, prolonging the life of stair edges. They also add a professional look to staircases, especially in public and high-traffic spaces.

Types of Stair Nosing Available at Fringe

• Anti-Slip Nosings: These have an added grip layer, ideal for preventing slips in high-traffic and commercial spaces like hotels, office buildings, and schools.

• Recessed Stair Nosings: Recessed nosings are embedded into the stair surface, creating a seamless look while protecting stair edges. These are popular in upscale residential and hospitality settings.

• Illuminated Nosings: Illuminated stair nosings are equipped with LED strips for added visibility, especially in dimly lit environments. They are ideal for cinemas, theatres, and hotels.

Material and Finish Options

Available in aluminium, stainless steel, and PVC, Fringe’s stair-nosing options come in finishes like matte black, silver, and bronze, allowing designers to choose a look that complements the staircase design.

Ceiling and Wall Trims: Refining Edges and Corners

Ceiling and wall trims cleanly finish edges and corners, offering both decorative and functional benefits. They are essential for achieving a polished, cohesive look in any space.

Types of Trims Available at Fringe

• Cove Moulding: Cove moulding provides a smooth transition between the wall and ceiling, ideal for adding a soft, decorative touch in hotel rooms, lobbies, and residential spaces.

• Shadow Gap Trims: These trims create a recessed gap between the wall and ceiling or floor, adding depth and a contemporary feel to the space.

• Corner Guards: Corner guards protect wall corners from damage, particularly in high-traffic areas. They are widely used in commercial spaces, hospitals, and hotels.

Material and Style Options

Fringe offers trims in PVC, metal, and wood, with finishes ranging from painted to metallic. Colour options allow designers to match or contrast with wall and ceiling finishes, providing flexibility in design.

Expansion Joints and Movement Profiles: Flexibility and Durability in Large Spaces

Expansion joints and movement profiles are essential for large floor and wall surfaces that are subject to thermal expansion or movement. These profiles prevent cracking and maintain the integrity of flooring and tiling installations.

Types of Expansion Joints Available at Fringe

• Floor Expansion Joints: Ideal for commercial buildings, hotels, and public spaces, floor expansion joints absorb movement and protect floors from cracking.

• Wall Expansion Joints: These are used in large tiled walls and facades. Wall expansion joints ensure the structure can accommodate shifts without damage.

• Seismic Joints: In seismic zones, seismic joints provide added flexibility to prevent structural damage. These joints are particularly important in high-rise buildings and large commercial facilities.

Material Options

Fringe’s expansion joints are available in materials like aluminium, stainless steel, and flexible PVC, ensuring durability in various environments. These materials are selected for their ability to withstand pressure, temperature changes, and wear over time.

Accessories and Finishing Details for Floors, Walls, and Ceilings

At Fringe, we provide a range of finishing accessories that complement these profiles, enhancing both functionality and appearance.

• Threshold Strips: Used at doorways or between different flooring materials, threshold strips provide a smooth transition and prevent tripping hazards.

• Baseboards and Kick Plates: Baseboards protect lower wall sections, while kick plates on doors prevent scuffing and add durability, which is ideal for commercial and hospitality spaces.

• Wall Protectors and Bumpers: In high-traffic areas, wall protectors and bumpers prevent damage from carts, luggage, and foot traffic, ideal for hotels, hospitals, and office corridors.
