FAQs
What material is the window board made of?
The window board is crafted from moisture-resistant MDF (Medium-Density Fibreboard).
Does it come painted?

Can this be used in a bathroom?
Yes, its moisture-resistant MDF construction makes it suitable for use in bathrooms and other areas exposed to humidity.
What are the benefits of the bevelled edges?
The bevelled edges provide a classic, traditional aesthetic that adds a refined touch to any window and complements various interior décor styles.
How should I clean the window board?

Is it difficult to install?
Installation is straightforward, involving cutting to size, applying adhesive or fixings, and painting. It's recommended to follow standard DIY practices for fitting window boards.
What is the advantage of MDF over natural timber?
MDF avoids common timber issues like knots, cracks, and splintering, offering a more consistent and durable finish, especially in varying environmental conditions.
Troubleshooting
Board not adhering properly
Ensure the mounting surface is clean, dry, and free from dust or grease. Use an appropriate adhesive or fixing method for the substrate and the MDF board.
Paint finish is uneven or peeling
Ensure the surface was properly prepared before painting (sanded, dust removed). Apply primer if recommended for MDF. Use thin, even coats of paint and allow adequate drying time between layers.
Damage to edges during cutting
Use a fine-tooth saw and a sharp blade for clean cuts. Support the board adequately during cutting to prevent chipping or splintering.
Swelling or warping in damp areas
While moisture-resistant, prolonged direct water exposure should be avoided. Ensure proper sealing with paint, especially on cut edges, and wipe away any standing water immediately.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Ensure the surface where the window board will be installed is clean, dry, and level. Cut the board to the required length using a fine-tooth saw for a clean edge. Apply a suitable adhesive or fixings according to manufacturer recommendations. Once installed, prepare the surface for painting by lightly sanding any rough spots and removing dust. Apply your chosen paint in thin, even coats, allowing adequate drying time between applications.
Compatibility: This window board is designed for use as a window sill or a decorative trim. It is compatible with most standard wall finishes and paints. For best results, ensure it is installed with appropriate fixings and adhesives suitable for MDF.
Care: Clean the window board regularly with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or excessive water, especially on unpainted edges or undersides. For painted surfaces, use mild soap and water if necessary, and dry thoroughly. Ensure any spills or condensation are wiped away promptly to maintain the integrity of the moisture-resistant properties.
