Product Information

Full details

The National Skirting Lisbon Primed Skirting Board in White is designed for homeowners looking to add a polished and refined finish to their interior spaces. Its key benefit lies in its durable, moisture-resistant MDF construction and pre-primed surface, making it easy to achieve a professional painted look. A potential caveat is that the primed finish requires an additional painting or glossing step to achieve the desired aesthetic, which adds to the overall project time.

FAQs

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

You can use most types of interior paint, including water-based emulsions, acrylics, or oil-based paints. For a durable finish, consider using a satin, semi-gloss, or gloss paint.

Is this skirting board suitable for bathrooms?

While made from moisture-resistant MDF, it is best suited for general interior use. For areas with consistently high humidity or direct water exposure like a bathroom, consider specialized moisture-proof materials. Ensure it is properly sealed with paint if used in a more humid environment.

How do I cut mitre joints for corners?

Use a mitre box or a mitre saw to cut a 45-degree angle on each board. Ensure the angles meet precisely for a neat corner joint. A fine-tooth saw blade will provide the cleanest cut.

What is the length of each skirting board?

Each board measures 3040mm (approximately 10 feet) in length.

Can I install this skirting board over existing skirting?

It is generally recommended to remove old skirting before installing new boards to ensure a secure and flush fit against the wall. Installing over existing skirting can lead to an uneven finish and potential structural issues.

How should I store the skirting boards before installation?

Store boards flat in a dry, temperature-controlled environment away from direct sunlight and moisture to prevent warping or damage.

Troubleshooting

Board does not adhere well to the wall.

Ensure the wall surface is clean, dry, and free from dust. Use a high-quality adhesive specifically designed for MDF skirting boards or appropriate mechanical fixings.

Paint finish is uneven or blotchy.

Ensure the primed surface was adequately sanded and cleaned before painting. Apply paint in thin, even coats, allowing each coat to dry thoroughly before applying the next. Use a high-quality primer and topcoat.

Scoring or chipping during cutting.

Use a sharp, fine-tooth saw blade designed for wood or MDF. Ensure the board is securely supported during cutting to prevent vibration.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup:

  1. Measure the perimeter of the room where the skirting board will be installed.
  2. Calculate the number of boards needed, accounting for cuts and potential waste.
  3. Cut the skirting boards to the required lengths using a fine-tooth saw for clean edges.
  4. Apply adhesive suitable for MDF skirting boards to the back of the board or use appropriate fixings (nails or screws).
  5. Press the board firmly against the wall, ensuring it is level.
  6. Fill any nail holes or gaps with wood filler and sand smooth once dry.
  7. Apply your desired paint or gloss finish. Multiple coats may be necessary for full coverage.

Compatibility:

This skirting board is compatible with most standard wall types, including plasterboard and solid walls, provided appropriate fixings are used. It is designed for interior use only.

Care:

  • Clean the skirting board with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or excessive water.
  • For best long-term appearance, ensure the painted or glossed finish is maintained and touch up any chips or scuffs as needed.
