Why do you need skirtings?

In short, skirting boards are necessary to form the junctions between the construction materials and hide untidy joins. They also protect the bottom of the wall from general wear and tear from foot traffic expected in a normal home (pets and children, for example).

Which type of skirting is best?

Plastic skirting boards, usually made from UPVC, are a lesser-known alternative to traditional wooden skirtings. Since they can be mass-produced more easily, plastic skirtings tend to be cheaper than their timber counterparts. Unfortunately, this can affect the quality of the final product – plastic is a less forgiving material than wood, so you may also experience problems if your wall is not perfectly flat.
Softwood skirting boards, although much cheaper than their hardwood counterparts are prone to warping with changes in humidity and temperature.
Hardwood skirting boards are more expensive than off-the-shelf skirting, but are also extremely durable. The main reason to choose hardwood skirtings is the aesthetic. They can be painted to match your room, but hardwood skirtings are best finished in a clear coat varnish that allows the grain to show through.

I have drawn plans for a custom music desk for my studio. Here's a link to the original design I copied: https://www.studiodesk.net/beat-series/ I've bought the timber, 21mm Birch Plywood, and the pieces have already been CNC cut. I'm looking for a professional carpenter to assemble the pieces for me and do the finishes. E.g. The edges need to be routed, and I'd like to use allenkey bolts with threaded inserts to join the panels because the desk will most likely need to be assembled and disassembled multiple times. The desk will need to be sanded and edges smoothed, stained in a nutty/ oaky colour and then varnished. I still need to buy the hardware: threaded inserts, bolts, brackets, adjustable feet, and the soft fit draw runner for the keyboard tray. I also need 6 x pine frames put together and finished in the same colour as the desk: W500mm x H1000mm. I have the timber already.
