While decorating the living room, I've noticed that the architrave and
skirting are different profiles. It seems that the architrave is the
torus profile, and the skirting board is ogee. Oddly, it's taken about
ten years for me to notice this, but now that I have, I can't help
wondering if someone's messed up. It's all hard wood in very good
condition, but if one is to be replaced, I guess now is the time to do
it. Is it normal to have them different? I'd have thought you'd
normally have them the same, but I know nothing about skirting board
conventions.

At one point you could buy skirting boards which was dual profiled. I
wonder if one bit got installed upside down.


The architrave can't AFAIK be dual profiled, but of course the skirting
might. I haven't told the missus yet. Probably best not to mention it
:-) OTOH, there's every chance I'm the only person in the world that
would ever care.
