FAQs

Is this skirting board suitable for bathrooms or kitchens?

While the MDF is moisture-resistant, it is not waterproof. It is best suited for general living areas. For high-moisture environments like bathrooms or kitchens, consider materials specifically designed for those conditions.

What type of paint should I use?

You can use water-based emulsion paints, oil-based paints, or gloss paints. Ensure the paint is suitable for primed MDF surfaces and follow the paint manufacturer's instructions.

How do I achieve a seamless finish at corners?

For internal and external corners, precise angled cuts (mitering) are required. Use a miter saw for accuracy and ensure the cuts meet cleanly before fixing.

Can I install this myself?

Yes, with basic DIY skills and appropriate tools, installation is manageable. Ensure you have a way to cut the boards accurately and fix them securely.

What is the actual height and thickness?

The skirting board is 170mm high and 18mm thick.

How long is each board?

Each board measures 3040mm in length.

Troubleshooting

Scoring or chipping during cutting

Use a sharp, fine-toothed saw. Ensure the board is securely supported and make slow, controlled cuts.

Paint not adhering well

Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free from dust or grease. If primer is damaged, re-prime the affected area before painting.

Board is not flush against the wall

Check wall surface for irregularities. Use a suitable adhesive or shims to ensure a snug fit. Ensure fixing points are secure.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup:

  1. Acclimatization: Allow the skirting boards to acclimatize to the room's environment for at least 48 hours before installation.
  2. Cutting: Cut boards to the required lengths using a fine-toothed saw for clean edges. Measure carefully and use a miter saw for precise angled cuts if needed.
  3. Fixing: Install using appropriate adhesive, nails, or screws according to your wall type and desired finish. Ensure boards are level and flush against the wall.
  4. Finishing: Once installed, apply your chosen paint or gloss. Two coats are typically recommended for optimal coverage. Ensure adequate ventilation during and after painting.

Compatibility:

This skirting board is compatible with most standard wall types, including plasterboard, plaster, and brick. It is designed to complement a wide range of flooring materials such as carpet, laminate, wood, and tile.

Care:

  • Cleaning: Clean the surface with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or excessive moisture.
  • Maintenance: Re-touch paint as needed to maintain a fresh appearance. If significant damage occurs, the affected section may need to be replaced.
