Skirting

A "skirting nail" is a specific type of nail used to securely attach a skirting board (baseboard) to a wall, typically small and designed to be hammered into the wall through the skirting board, allowing for a flush finish and minimizing visible nail heads; essentially, a nail specifically made for installing skirting boards. 

Key points about skirting nails:

Purpose:

Primarily used for attaching skirting boards to walls during home renovations or construction. 

Design:

Often have a small head that can be partially countersunk into the wood, providing a cleaner appearance. 

Material:

Usually made from steel, sometimes with a rust-resistant coating. 

Size:

Varies depending on the thickness of the skirting board and wall material, but generally smaller than standard nails.
