Pencil Round Skirting
Pencil Round Skirting Sydney | Primed Pine
Pencil round skirting features a subtle, small rounded bead along the top edge, giving it just enough visual interest to read as a finished detail without drawing attention. It is a versatile, widely specified profile that works equally well in new builds and period renovations. We stock primed pine pencil round skirting in standard lengths, pre-primed and ready to install.
Subtle, Versatile, Widely Specified
The small radius bead at the top of pencil round skirting softens the hard edge you would get with a plain flat profile, while avoiding the bulk of heavier moulded options. It is a common replacement profile for older homes and a go-to for renovators who want a skirting that works with both traditional and modern interiors.
Replacing skirting in an older home often means the door frames need attention at the same time, and our timber door frame sets are available in sizes to suit most residential openings. A tube of paintable gap filler finishes the job cleanly where the board meets the wall or floor. Available in bulk for trade orders. Part of our full internal primed pine skirting and moulding range.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why is pencil round skirting so common in older Australian homes?
Pencil round became a default residential profile in Australia from the 1960s onwards because it was simple to manufacture, easy to install, and suited to painted interiors across every style. It remained a staple through to the 1990s when shadowline began replacing it in new builds.
How do I know if pencil round will match my existing skirting?
Bring a short offcut or a clear photo showing the profile shape to our Arndell Park warehouse. Pencil round profiles vary slightly in height and bead size depending on when they were installed. We will confirm the closest match from current stock.
Can pencil round skirting be installed on a concrete floor slab?
Yes, with the right fixings. Skirting on a concrete slab is typically fixed with construction adhesive and masonry nails or a nail gun with concrete nails. Pre-primed pine takes adhesive cleanly and can be caulked and painted for a tight finish against the slab.
What is the bead detail on pencil round skirting?
The pencil round bead is a small, semi-circular radius along the top edge of the board, typically 6mm to 9mm. It is subtle enough to soften the hard edge of a flat board without reading as a decorative moulding.
Is pencil round skirting suitable for a rental property renovation?
Yes. It is cost-effective, widely available, installs quickly, and matches profiles already in most Australian homes built before 2000. For a rental renovation it is one of the most practical choices available.
