Upvc skirting boards?

Hi,
Doing a full refurb and replacing all the skirting. I want something easy to fit and in no need of painting.
Been looking online for suppliers but the price difference is huge.
Does anyone have plastic skirting boards? Where did you get them from and how much did you pay? Do you like them?

I don't have these but think they are awful to be honest.

I put them in a small back room where the dog enters the house for easy cleaning. They look ok, they are eurocell. I would not use them in my main living areas as I prefer large detailed skirting. I would use in bedrooms were not much skirting is seen just so I would not have to keep moving heavy furniture.

We had them in an old house. Thought they were a brilliant idea- until we lived there with small kids. Scratched & dented in no time.

I can't imagine they'd look very nice at all. We used pre-primed MDF skirting. You do have to paint it but they're easy to install and it don't warp.

I agree with OliviaBenson. Stained high wood skirts every time.
