I think in this scenario pictures speak louder than words

i think he is getting mixed up with bullnose and pencil round. what he really wants is pencil round.

i think chez needs to look at this as imo he has it wrong. what he has as bullnose is in fact pencil round.

The pencil round picture looks correct to me but the bullnose should be more rounded.

didnt see the pencil round at the bottom. alot of pencil round comes exactly like chez has the bullnose. the bullnose should be rounded on the top and botom to form a full curve.

I assumed the same as Panlid also, have never heard of a skirting with a half round on the top.

i was taught up with a moulding called Sanitary. only when i moved to warrington was it called, as tim remarked Lambs tongue.

It's only a rough guide, they can see the specific names when they go to buy it at the shop

lambs tonge and ovolo are similar but they are different

ovolo is a quater circular section

lambs tongue is a quater eliptical section

both tend to have quirks

pictures at last - makes sense now

These all seem to be named after placenames in the UK. There is, maybe, one exception - Bullnose. (I'm sure someone will Google but I couldn't be a**sed

)
