FAQs

What is the primary benefit of the moisture-resistant MDF?

The moisture-resistant MDF construction helps the skirting board resist damage from humidity and minor spills, ensuring greater longevity and stability compared to standard wood.

Does the skirting board come pre-painted?

No, the skirting board comes with a white primed finish, ready for you to apply your chosen paint or gloss color for a perfect match to your interior decor.

What are the exact dimensions of the skirting board?

The dimensions are Height 170mm x Length 3040mm, with a thickness of 18mm.

Can this skirting board be used in a bathroom?

While it is moisture-resistant, it is best suited for general interior use. For areas with very high humidity or direct water exposure like bathrooms or shower rooms, additional sealing and protection may be required.

How should I clean the skirting board?

Clean with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaning materials that could damage the finish.

What kind of saw should I use to cut the board?

A fine-tooth saw, such as a handsaw or a power mitre saw with a fine blade, is recommended for clean cuts on MDF.

Is the Reed I design suitable for modern homes?

Yes, the Reed I design offers a classic elegance that blends well with both traditional interiors and modern transitional styles, adding a sophisticated touch without being overly ornate.

Troubleshooting

Skirting board is difficult to cut cleanly.

Use a fine-tooth saw blade designed for MDF. Ensure the board is securely supported during cutting.

Paint finish is uneven after application.

Ensure the primer is fully dry and lightly sanded before applying the topcoat. Apply paint in thin, even coats, allowing adequate drying time between applications.

Gaps appear between the skirting board and the wall after installation.

Ensure the wall surface is flat and free from obstructions. Use a flexible filler or caulk to fill any minor gaps after installation.

Moisture damage or swelling is observed.

While moisture-resistant, prolonged exposure to high humidity or direct water contact can cause damage. Ensure proper ventilation in the room and avoid direct water exposure.
