Yes, if they are made from dense wood or moisture-resistant materials, they can work well in indoor rooms in Riyadh, Hail, and Jeddah. Avoid bathrooms or wet floors without a barrier. Choose stable materials that reduce expansion, and fix them with nails or adhesive while leaving expansion gaps at walls.
Add up the total wall and doorway length, then add 5% to 10% for cuts and waste. Trims are usually bought by linear meter, not square meter. For a 20 square meter room with 20 meters of wall length, you will need about 20 to 22 linear meters of trim.

A confident customer can install ready-cut trims by cleaning the edge, cutting pieces with a utility knife or fine saw, and fixing them with small nails or adhesive. Do not press the trim onto the parquet surface. For tight joints or corners, consult a technician to prevent uneven height or visible gaps.
