FAQs

What type of paint is best for this skirting board?

A water-based or oil-based primer followed by your choice of interior paint (e.g., emulsion, satin, gloss) is recommended. Ensure the primer is fully dry before painting.

Can this skirting board be used in a bathroom?

While made from moisture-resistant MDF, it is best suited for general interior use. For very high humidity areas like bathrooms, consider materials specifically designed for such environments or ensure thorough sealing and ventilation.

What are the exact dimensions of the skirting board?

The dimensions are 18mm thickness, 250mm height, and 3040mm length.

How do I clean the skirting board once painted?

Wipe clean with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive scrubbing to protect the paint finish.

Is this skirting board pre-assembled?

No, this is a single length of skirting board that needs to be cut and installed.

What is the 'Ogee' design?

The Ogee design is a decorative profile with a distinctive S-shape, featuring both inward and outer curves, adding a classic and elegant finish to the skirting board.

Can I achieve a different look if I don't paint it white?

Yes, the white primed finish is specifically designed to accept most types of paint, allowing you to achieve any desired colour or finish to match your interior decor.

Troubleshooting

Board not adhering to wall

Ensure the wall surface is clean, dry, and free from dust or grease. Use a stronger adhesive or additional fixings (nails/screws).

Uneven or gapped finish after installation

Check if the wall is perfectly straight. Use shims to fill small gaps behind the board. Ensure cuts are precise and meeting at corners accurately.

Paint finish is patchy or uneven

Ensure the board was adequately primed and any filler/wood filler was sanded smooth. Apply paint in thin, even coats. Allow sufficient drying time between coats.

Damage during cutting

Use a sharp saw blade designed for MDF. Make slow, controlled cuts to prevent chipping or splintering.
