Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Acclimatization: Allow the skirting boards to acclimatize to the room's temperature and humidity for at least 48 hours before installation.
- Cutting: Measure and cut the skirting boards to the required lengths using a fine-toothed saw or a powered mitre saw for clean, precise cuts. Always wear safety glasses.
- Installation: Secure the skirting boards to the wall using appropriate adhesives (e.g., grab adhesive suitable for MDF) and/or nails. Ensure a tight fit against the wall and floor.
- Finishing: Once installed, apply your chosen paint or gloss finish. Two coats are often recommended for optimal coverage, allowing adequate drying time between coats.
Compatibility:
This skirting board is designed for use on standard interior walls. It is compatible with most types of flooring, including carpet, laminate, and hardwood. Ensure the wall surface is clean, dry, and sound before application.
Care:
Clean gently with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or excessive moisture, as this can damage the MDF and its finish. For spills or marks, wipe clean immediately.
