Crafted from moisture-resistant MDF, these 18mm x 144mm x 2400mm boards provide a durable buffer for your walls against scuffs and knocks while offering a versatile reversible profile for design flexibility; however, users should note that they require a final topcoat application to achieve the desired aesthetic finish.

FAQs

Are these boards suitable for a bathroom?

Yes, they are made from moisture-resistant MDF, but you must ensure all cut ends are sealed with paint or a sealant to prevent moisture absorption.

Can I use wood stain on these boards?

No, these boards are pre-primed for use with paint and are not intended for staining, as the MDF core will not provide a natural wood grain aesthetic.

What type of paint should I use for the topcoat?

Standard interior wood paint, such as eggshell, satin, or gloss, is suitable for these boards.

Can these be nailed directly into the wall?

Yes, they can be nailed using a finish nailer, but using construction adhesive alongside nails provides the most secure and permanent installation.

How many boards are in a pack?

Each pack contains 6 boards, with each board measuring 2400mm in length.

Do I need to prime them again?

No, the factory-primed surface is ready for a topcoat; however, a light scuff sand is recommended for the best adhesion.

Troubleshooting

Visible gaps at corners

Use a mitre saw to ensure precise 45-degree cuts and apply high-quality paintable decorator's caulk to fill the seam before touching up with paint.

Board surface feels rough after installation

Lightly sand the primed surface with fine-grit sandpaper (240-grit) to remove any debris or factory overspray before applying your final topcoat.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Versatile design choices via reversible profile
  • Pre-primed surface reduces prep time
  • Consistent quality without knots or defects
  • Durable moisture-resistant material
  • Easy to cut and install

Cons

  • Requires final paint topcoat
  • Heavy material compared to lightweight foam alternatives
  • Requires proper sealing for very humid environments like bathrooms

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation requires standard carpentry tools, including a mitre saw for precise corner cuts. Boards can be secured using high-quality construction adhesive or by nailing into wall studs.

  • Preparation: Ensure walls are clean and dry before installation.
  • Compatibility: Suitable for use with carpet, laminate, vinyl, or hardwood floors.
  • Finishing: After installation, fill any nail holes with high-quality filler and sand lightly before applying your chosen topcoat.
  • Care: Wipe clean with a damp, lint-free cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners that may scratch the painted finish. For high-moisture areas, ensure all cut edges are sealed with paint or silicone to maintain moisture resistance.
