FAQs

What type of paint is best for this skirting board?

A good quality acrylic primer followed by your choice of water-based or oil-based paints or gloss works well. Ensure the surface is prepared by light sanding before painting.

Is this skirting board suitable for bathrooms?

Yes, the moisture-resistant MDF makes it suitable for bathrooms and kitchens. However, ensure it is properly sealed with paint or a protective finish.

Can I use this skirting board with underfloor heating?

While the MDF is moisture-resistant, extreme temperature fluctuations from underfloor heating might affect the material over time. It's generally suitable, but monitor performance in such conditions.

How do I clean the skirting board?

Wipe clean with a soft cloth slightly dampened with water. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials that could damage the finish.

What are the dimensions of the skirting board?

Product dimensions can vary by specific item; please refer to the product packaging or manufacturer's website for precise measurements.

Do I need to prime this board myself?

No, the skirting board comes with a white primed finish, ready for you to apply your chosen topcoat of paint or gloss.

Troubleshooting

Skirting board not adhering to the wall

Ensure the wall surface is clean, dry, and has adequate adhesion. Check the type and amount of adhesive or fixings used.

Paint not adhering evenly or peeling

Lightly sand the primed surface before painting and ensure the primer is fully dry. Use a high-quality primer and paint suitable for MDF. Apply thin, even coats.

Cuts are not clean or are splintering

Use a sharp, fine-toothed saw blade designed for MDF or laminate. Consider using a mitre box for precise angled cuts.

Visible gaps at joints or against the wall

Re-measure and re-cut for a precise fit. Use a suitable filler or caulk to fill small gaps after installation and painting.
