Air Cleaning
Reimagined

Finally.Buildings can be designed with cleaner air in mind.

Skairting reimagines an everyday building detail to attract and retain dust where it gathers. A familiar part of the room, designed to do more.

UK launch planned · Q2 2027

01 · Recognition

The dust has been showing us all along.

People everywhere know that dust gathers around skirting boards. We design for it.

Everywhere. The same edge, the same dust.

Disturbed. Settled dust lifts back into the air. Illustrative.

02 · How it works

Work with the way air behaves.

01
Where dust gathers
Dust settles and collects along the perimeter of a room, at the edge where floor meets wall.
02
Designed to attract and retain
A lower recess houses a replaceable Electerial strip, designed to attract and hold dust there. Attraction technology is in development.
03
Designed for everyday care
Vacuum along the edge as usual. When it is time, the strip is replaced, not the board.

CFD results inform the design. Electerial development is underway ahead of the planned UK launch.

Full methodology

Computational fluid dynamics comparison of PM2.5 particles released near the floor against 1 metre skirting sections, over 600 seconds.

The Skairting V08 geometry with modelled attraction retained 42,701 particles; a standard skirting profile retained 7,440, a ratio of 5.74×.

The footage compares V08 without modelled attraction (D05) to V08 with modelled attraction (D06). It is not the standard-skirting comparison.

These are simulation results, not a measured whole-room or whole-building outcome. They do not cover PM1 and make no health or clinical claim.

04 · Spaces

Cleaner air belongs in the design brief.

In homes. In nurseries. In the places we care for one another.

For the places where life begins.

Thoughtful spaces. At every stage of life.

A familiar finishing detail, designed with a new purpose for the places we live, learn and care.

Finish concepts

A detail worth noticing.

Quiet in white. Warm in oak. Distinctive in black and bronze.

Black and bronze. Distinctive and architectural.

05 · Developers, architects & specifiers

What if every new building started here?

Air cleaning, built into the building. Skairting is being developed to make cleaner-air thinking part of the architecture, integrating dust attraction and retention into a familiar detail in every room.
