FAQs

What type of paint should I use on the primed finish?

You can use most types of interior paint, including water-based emulsions, satin, or gloss finishes. Ensure the paint is suitable for MDF and follow the paint manufacturer's application guidelines.

Is this skirting board suitable for bathrooms or kitchens?

The moisture-resistant MDF offers better performance in humid environments than standard MDF. However, for areas with direct water exposure, ensure thorough sealing with multiple coats of appropriate paint or sealant.

How do I clean the skirting board?

Wipe gently with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive scrubbing pads, which could damage the primer or painted surface.

What are the exact dimensions of the skirting board?

The skirting board measures 18mm in thickness, 95mm in height, and comes in a standard length of 4200mm.

Can I use this skirting board with underfloor heating?

Yes, the MDF material is generally compatible with underfloor heating systems, but always follow the specific installation guidelines for both the skirting board and the heating system to ensure safe and effective operation.

What is the benefit of the curved edge design?

The curved edge provides a softer, more elegant transition between the wall and the floor, contributing to a refined interior aesthetic that is less harsh than a square-edged profile.

Troubleshooting

Skirting board feels damp or swells

Ensure the area is well-ventilated. Check for any water ingress points. Allow the board to dry completely and ensure adequate sealing with paint, especially on cut ends.

Paint adhesion is poor

Lightly sand the primed surface with fine-grit sandpaper before painting. Ensure the surface is clean and dry. Use a high-quality primer if necessary.

Cut edges are not clean

Use a sharp, fine-tooth saw blade specifically designed for cutting MDF or laminate. Ensure the board is securely supported during cutting.

Visible joins between boards

Ensure precise mitre cuts for corners and butt joints. Use a high-quality wood filler or decorator's caulk to fill any small gaps after installation. Sand smooth once dry.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure the wall surface is clean, dry, and free from dust and debris before installation.
  2. Cut the skirting board to the required lengths using a fine-tooth saw for clean edges. Mitre cuts are recommended for corners.
  3. Apply appropriate adhesive or use nails/screws suitable for MDF skirting boards. Ensure the board is firmly fixed to the wall.
  4. Allow adhesive to cure fully before proceeding.

  • This skirting board is compatible with most standard wall finishes, including plaster, drywall, and painted surfaces.
  • It is designed to integrate seamlessly with various flooring types, such as carpet, laminate, vinyl, and hardwood.

Care:

  • The primed surface is ready for painting. Apply your chosen paint according to manufacturer instructions, typically requiring 1-2 coats for best results. A light sanding between coats may be beneficial for a smoother finish.
  • Clean with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or excessive moisture, as this can damage the MDF.
  • For maintenance, occasional dusting is sufficient. If repainting, ensure the surface is clean and dry beforehand.
