FAQs

What tools do I need for installation?

You will need a measuring tape, saw (fine-toothed), adhesive, caulk or sealant, a level, a pencil, and optionally, a mitre box.

Can I paint the skirting board?

Yes, the Orac Decor SX186 is paintable. Prime it first, and then apply your desired paint color.

What type of adhesive should I use?

Use a construction adhesive suitable for the materials. Ensure it's designed for use with molding and skirting boards.

How do I clean the skirting board?

Use a damp cloth to wipe the surface. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.

Can I use this skirting board in a bathroom?

Yes, provided the area is well-ventilated and the skirting board is properly sealed and painted to resist moisture.

What is the material of the skirting board?

The Orac Decor SX186 is made from Duropolymer.

Troubleshooting

Skirting board doesn't adhere properly.

Ensure the existing skirting board surface is clean and dry before applying adhesive. Use a high-quality adhesive suitable for the materials. Consider using additional support, such as nails or screws, while the adhesive sets.

Gaps appear between the skirting board and the wall.

Use caulk or sealant to fill the gaps. Apply the sealant evenly and smooth it with a wet finger or a smoothing tool.

The skirting board is difficult to cut.

Use a fine-toothed saw and cut slowly and carefully. A mitre box can help ensure accurate angles. Consider using a saw designed for cutting molding materials.
