FAQs

What kind of paint should I use on the Vienna Skirting Board?

You can use most types of interior paint, including emulsion, satin, or gloss finishes. Ensure the primer is fully dry before applying your top coat for the best results.

Is this skirting board suitable for bathrooms?

The moisture-resistant MDF offers good protection, but for very humid environments like bathrooms, it's essential to ensure it is thoroughly sealed with a high-quality, water-resistant paint or gloss.

How do I clean the skirting board?

A simple wipe-down with a slightly damp, soft cloth is usually sufficient. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.

What are the exact dimensions of the board?

The dimensions are approximately 120mm in height and 18mm in thickness, with a length of 3040mm (3.04 meters).

Can I install this skirting board myself?

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

Does the 'White' in the product title mean it's finished?

No, the 'White' refers to the primed finish, which is ready for you to paint or gloss over to achieve your desired final color and sheen.

Troubleshooting

Board does not cut cleanly

Ensure you are using a sharp fine-toothed saw and support the board adequately during cutting to prevent chipping.

Primed surface is uneven

Lightly sand the surface with fine-grit sandpaper and wipe clean before painting.

Adhesive is not holding the board

Ensure the wall surface is free of dust and moisture. Use an appropriate adhesive for MDF and allow adequate drying time.

Visible joins between boards

Use a fine-grit sandpaper to smooth edges before joining. Fill any small gaps with a suitable wood filler and sand smooth once dry. Consider using longer boards to minimize joins.
