Primed Skirting Boards

Our Ultimate Primed Finish

Australian Moulding & Door Company has for many years been the leader in providing highly finished, ready to paint surfaces of skirting boards and architraves within the industry. Our commitment to offering the best possible product has compelled us to research, develop and implement new techniques in our manufacturing process so we can still say today that our range is not only the largest, but also of the best quality available.

Natural Finish or Pre-Primed

Our customers have many choices to make when buying from our large range. One such decision is between natural finish or pre-primed. Australian Moulding & Door Company now offers “Ultimate Primed Finish”, where our entire range can be supplied pre-primed providing enormous installation benefits and of course, dollar savings (see comparison graph below).

Our “Ultimate Primed Finish” sees the mouldings pass through a rigorous 5 stage process before being classified “Ultimate Primed”

5 Stage Process

  • Architraves and skirtings are pre-sanded
  • First coat of primer is applied and then oven dried
  • A second sanding process is completed
  • A second coat of primer is applied and oven dried
  • Third and final sand through our new 12 head sander

The Ultimate Finish is 90-95% ready for immediate top coat application allowing for substantial cost saving. Ultimate Primed Finish comparison to an onsite painter for cost and time prior to final coat application stage.

 

 

Customer Fact Sheet

Frequently Asked Question

“Can I order my timber mouldings in setlengths (e.g., 2.7 m, 3.6 m, or 5.4 m)?”

  • The short answer: No — and here’s why.
  • Natural timbers are grown, not manufactured. Unlike engineered products such as MRMDF and finger-jointed pine (which are produced in controlled lengths), Clear Pine and KDHW are milled from real trees.
  • Trees vary in height, taper, and structure.
  • This means the timber we receive comes in random lengths, not uniform sizes.
    Supplying only fixed lengths would mean cutting and wasting perfectly good
    timber, driving up costs and harming sustainable forestry practices.

What “random lengths” means for yourorder

  • We supply timber by the lineal metre, not by set lengths.
  • Your order will be made up of a mix of lengths based on available stock.
  • We always aim for a practical balance — not all short pieces, not all long.
  • Exact set lengths cannot be guaranteed.

Why this is standard practice

  • Industry standard across Australia and internationally
  • Reduces waste and supports sustainable timber use
  • Keeps pricing fair and consistent
  • Gives installers flexibility to work efficiently on site

How to plan your project

  • Allow for at least an extra 5–10% in your order to
    account for cutting and optimisation on site.
  • Plan moulding runs with flexibility in length.
  • Use offcuts smartly to minimise waste.

Key takeaway

Trees don’t grow in set lengths — and
neither can natural timber.

Ordering by lineal metre is the most practical, sustainable and cost-effective
way to receive quality timber mouldings.

For any questions, our team is here to help
you plan your order and achieve the best results on site.
