Thin Skirting - Help

Hi guys
About to purchase some chamfered skirting for the conservatory but it looks like the thinnest available is 14.5mm. This is not a problem around 90% of the room but we have sliding doors along the entrance to the conservatory and this will be too thick and will rub against the doors (the gap is approx 15mm)
I was trying to find some thin skirtingboard / architrave to go along the bottom of that wall / around the door edging hopefully thinner than 14.5mm. The door edging isnt the end of the world as is hardly visible but the plaster isn't completely even at the bottom so I definitely need something to hide this.
Can anyone advise if this is available and where? (Sure I found some 12mm somewhere but cannot find it online since).
WJUK
ps - I was looking at the 94mm height one all around and would prefer this or at least 44mm around the door wall.

Try a upvc one. Normally about 10 mm thick. Available from plastics merchants or guttering suppliers.Eat vegetables and fear no creditors, rather than eat duck and hide.0

I cant visualise how this skirting is going to rub against sliding doors?
Cant you just cut the skirting down or chamfer a thinner section or something?0
