FAQs

What are the exact dimensions of the Torus II skirting board?

The dimensions are approximately H170mm x L3040mm with a thickness of 18mm.

Is this skirting board suitable for bathrooms?

While made from moisture-resistant MDF, it is best suited for general living areas. For high-moisture environments like bathrooms, ensure it is thoroughly sealed with appropriate paint and/or a moisture-resistant lacquer.

Do I need to prime this board before painting?

No, the board comes pre-primed in white, ready for your chosen topcoat. However, you may choose to apply an additional coat of primer for a smoother finish or better coverage.

What is the best way to cut the skirting board?

A fine-tooth saw or a mitre saw is recommended for clean, precise cuts. Ensure the blade is sharp to prevent splintering.

How should I clean the skirting board?

Wipe clean with a soft, slightly damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or excessive water.

Can this skirting board be used for external corners?

Yes, the Torus II profile is suitable for both internal and external corners. Precise mitre cuts are required for a neat finish.

What is the material of the skirting board?

The skirting board is made from moisture-resistant MDF (Medium Density Fibreboard).

Troubleshooting

Board is not straight or has a slight warp.

Allow the board to acclimatize to room temperature and humidity for 24-48 hours before cutting and installation. Ensure it is securely fixed along its entire length.

Paint finish is uneven or peeling.

Ensure the board was properly prepared before painting. Sand lightly between coats and use a high-quality primer and paint suitable for MDF.

Difficulty cutting clean edges.

Use a sharp, fine-tooth saw blade designed for cutting MDF or wood. A mitre saw will provide the cleanest and most accurate cuts.

Nail holes are visible after filling.

Ensure wood filler is completely dry before sanding. Apply a second thin layer of filler if necessary and sand flush with the surface.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Preparation: Ensure the wall surface is clean, dry, and free from debris. Measure and cut the skirting board to the required lengths using a fine-tooth saw for clean cuts.
  2. Joining: For corners, use a mitre saw to cut precise angles (e.g., 45 degrees for internal and external corners). Use wood adhesive and/or finishing nails for secure attachment.
  3. Fixing: Apply wood adhesive to the back of the skirting board or fix directly to the wall using appropriate nails or screws, ensuring they are countersunk.
  4. Finishing: Fill any nail holes or gaps with wood filler. Once dry, sand smooth. Apply your chosen primer if additional coats are desired, followed by your topcoat of paint or gloss.

Compatibility:

  • Compatible with most standard wall surfaces including plaster, drywall, and brickwork (with appropriate fixings).
  • Best used with paints and primers designed for MDF or wood.

Care:

  • Clean with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or excessive water.
  • Periodically check for any signs of damage or wear and touch up paint as needed.
