Product Information

Full details

This Primed Skirting Board from National Skirting's Oslo series is designed for homeowners looking to add a touch of elegance and durability to their interior spaces. Its primary benefit is the moisture-resistant MDF construction and a white primed finish that offers a clean canvas for customization, blending seamlessly into both modern and traditional decors. A minor consideration is that the primed finish requires painting to achieve its final aesthetic.

FAQs

What are the exact dimensions of the skirting board?

The dimensions are 18mm thickness, 220mm height, and 3040mm length.

Is this skirting board suitable for bathrooms?

It is moisture-resistant MDF, making it more suitable than standard MDF for areas with minor humidity, but prolonged direct exposure to water should still be avoided.

Can I paint this skirting board with any type of paint?

Yes, the white primed finish is compatible with most water-based and oil-based paints. Always test on a small, inconspicuous area first.

Do I need to sand the board before painting?

A light sanding after acclimatization and before the first coat of paint is recommended for optimal adhesion and a smooth finish.

How should I cut the corners for a professional look?

Mitre cuts (typically 45 degrees) are recommended for internal and external corners to create a seamless join.

What is the material used for this skirting board?

The skirting board is crafted from moisture-resistant MDF (Medium-Density Fibreboard).

Troubleshooting

Board does not sit flush against the wall.

Check wall for unevenness or obstructions. Ensure adhesive is applied evenly or fixings are appropriate and secure.

Paint finish is uneven after application.

Ensure the surface was properly primed and lightly sanded before painting. Apply paint in thin, even coats.

Minor chipping during cutting.

Use a sharp, fine-tooth saw and consider using a mitre box for precise, clean cuts. Sand any minor imperfections gently.

Moisture damage or swelling.

While moisture-resistant, avoid prolonged direct contact with excessive water. Ensure adequate ventilation in the room.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Acclimatize: Allow the skirting boards to acclimatize to room temperature for at least 48 hours before installation.
  2. Measure and Cut: Accurately measure the wall lengths and cut the boards to size using a fine-tooth saw for clean edges. Mitre cuts are recommended for corners.
  3. Prepare Surface: Ensure walls are clean, dry, and free from dust and debris. Apply an appropriate adhesive or fixings (nails/screws) according to your wall type and preference.
  4. Install: Apply adhesive to the back of the board or use fixings to attach securely to the wall, ensuring a snug fit at the top edge.

Compatibility:

This skirting board is compatible with most standard wall types, including plasterboard, brick, and stud walls, provided appropriate fixings are used. It is designed to work with standard flooring installations and can be painted with most water-based or oil-based paints. Ensure compatibility with your chosen paint finish (e.g., matt, satin, gloss).

Care:

  • Cleaning: Wipe clean with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or excessive moisture.
  • Maintenance: The primed surface should be painted within a reasonable timeframe. If the painted surface becomes marked, it can usually be repainted after a light sanding.
