Product Information

Full details

This National Skirting White Chamfered Bullnose I Primed Skirting Board is designed for homeowners seeking to add a polished and refined look to their interior spaces. Its key benefit is the elegant Chamfered Bullnose profile combined with moisture-resistant MDF construction for durability. A potential caveat is that the primed finish requires an additional painting or glossing step to achieve the desired final appearance. This skirting board offers a unique aesthetic with its inward and outer curves, blending style and robustness for both modern and traditional homes.

FAQs

What type of paint should I use on this skirting board?

You can use most interior paints, including water-based emulsion or acrylic paints for a matte or silk finish, or oil-based gloss paints for a high-shine, durable surface. Ensure the paint is compatible with primed surfaces.

Is this skirting board suitable for bathrooms?

The skirting board is made from moisture-resistant MDF, making it more suitable for areas with occasional humidity than standard MDF. However, for very wet areas like shower enclosures, additional waterproofing measures and a robust, high-gloss sealant are recommended.

How do I measure and cut the boards for corners?

For external corners, use a 45-degree mitre cut. For internal corners, also use a 45-degree mitre cut. Ensure your saw allows for accurate angle adjustments.

Can I reuse this skirting board if I move?

While possible, removing MDF skirting boards can sometimes lead to damage if not done carefully. If removed, it's best to inspect for damage and potentially repair or re-prime before reinstallation.

What is the difference between this profile and a standard bullnose?

The Chamfered Bullnose profile includes both an inward curve and an outward curve, creating a more dynamic and detailed edge compared to a simple rounded bullnose.

How long will the moisture resistance last?

The moisture resistance is a property of the MDF material itself. Regular care and maintaining the painted finish will help preserve its integrity. It is not a waterproof coating.

Troubleshooting

Board is difficult to cut cleanly

Use a sharp, fine-toothed saw blade designed for MDF. Ensure the board is securely supported during cutting to prevent chipping.

Primer is not adhering well to paint

Ensure the primed surface is clean and dry. Lightly scuff sand the primer if it has been exposed to dust or grime. Use a high-quality primer-compatible paint.

Skirting board sags or pulls away from the wall

Check that adequate fixings and adhesive have been used. Ensure the wall surface is sound and dry. Reapply adhesive and secure with additional fixings if necessary.

Visible joints or gaps after installation

Ensure mitre cuts are precise. Use wood filler designed for MDF to fill small gaps, then sand smooth before painting for a seamless finish.

Pros and Cons

  • Suitable for a wide range of interior design styles.
  • Provides a clean, refined look to any room.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

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 and mark cuts accurately.
  3. Joining: For corners and joints, use appropriate mitre cuts or butt joints. Ensure cuts are precise for a snug fit.
  4. Fixing: Fix the boards to the wall using suitable adhesive, nails, or screws, depending on the wall type and desired finish. For best results, use a combination of adhesive and fixings.
  5. Finishing: Once installed, fill any nail holes or gaps with a suitable filler. Sand lightly once dry.
  6. Painting: Apply your chosen paint or gloss finish. Two coats are typically recommended for even coverage over the primer.

Compatibility:

This skirting board is compatible with most standard wall types, including plasterboard, brick, and concrete, provided appropriate fixings and adhesives are used. It is designed to cover the expansion gap between flooring and walls.

Care:

Clean the skirting board with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or excessive moisture, which could damage the finish or the MDF material. For the best longevity, ensure the painted surface is properly sealed.
