Product Information

Full details

The National Skirting Antique MDF Skirting Board in White is designed for homeowners seeking to add a touch of classic charm and contrast to their interiors. Its key benefit lies in its moisture-resistant MDF construction and unique curved profile, making it ideal for high-moisture areas like bathrooms while offering a distinctive aesthetic. A potential caveat is that the primed finish requires painting to achieve the final desired look, adding an extra step to the installation process.

FAQs

Is this skirting board suitable for all rooms?

Yes, its moisture-resistant properties make it particularly well-suited for bathrooms and kitchens, but it can be used in any room for its decorative appeal.

What type of paint should I use on the primed surface?

You can use any standard interior emulsion, satin, or gloss paint. Ensure the surface is clean and dry before painting. Applying a primer first is recommended for best results.

How do I clean the skirting board?

Wipe the surface with a soft cloth slightly dampened with water. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaning materials.

Can I install this myself?

Yes, with basic DIY skills and tools, installation is straightforward. Ensure you follow proper cutting and fixing techniques.

What are the exact dimensions of the board?

The board is 18mm thick, 195mm high, and 3040mm long.

Is the wood used sustainably sourced?

Yes, the skirting board is manufactured using FSC-certified wood, which comes from responsibly managed forests.

What is the profile of this skirting board?

The profile features a distinctive design with one large curved reed and several smaller scattered reeds, offering contrast and a classic look.

Troubleshooting

Board is difficult to cut cleanly.

Use a sharp, fine-toothed saw and a guide to ensure straight cuts. Consider using a mitre box for precise angle cuts.

Primed surface appears uneven after painting.

Ensure the primer coat is fully dry and lightly sanded before applying the topcoat. Apply thin, even coats of paint.

Board does not adhere well to the wall.

Ensure the wall surface is clean, dry, and free from dust or grease. Use an appropriate adhesive recommended for MDF and the wall type, applying sufficient pressure during fixing.

Moisture damage is apparent after installation in a bathroom.

While moisture-resistant, prolonged direct saturation should be avoided. Ensure adequate ventilation in the room. Re-apply a suitable sealant or paint if necessary for an extra layer of protection.
