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: Use a fine-toothed saw for clean cuts. Measure carefully before cutting to ensure precise fits, especially at corners.
- Installation: Fix the boards to the wall using appropriate wood adhesives and/or nails. Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free from dust before applying adhesive.
- Finishing: Once installed, fill any nail holes or minor gaps with wood filler. Lightly sand the entire board to ensure a smooth surface.
- Painting: Apply your chosen paint or gloss. Two coats are generally recommended for best coverage and durability. Allow adequate drying time between coats.
Compatibility:
This skirting board is compatible with most standard wall surfaces, including plasterboard, brick, and concrete (with appropriate fixings and adhesives).
Care:
- Clean with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or excessive moisture.
- For tougher marks, use a mild soap solution on the cloth, then wipe clean with a fresh damp cloth.
- Ensure any spills are wiped up promptly to prevent damage.
