Product Information

Full details

The National Skirting Groove II Primed Skirting Board is designed for homeowners and contractors looking to achieve a polished, professional finish in interior spaces while providing essential wall protection. Its key benefit lies in the factory-applied white primer, which saves significant time by creating a smooth, ready-to-paint surface that integrates well into both contemporary and classic aesthetics. However, users should note that as a 3040mm length, proper planning for cuts and corner miters is required to minimize wastage during installation.

FAQs

Does this board come painted?

No, it comes with a white primer finish. It is ready for you to apply your final topcoat of paint or gloss.

Can I use this in a bathroom?

This product is designed for general interior use. If installing in a bathroom, ensure all cut ends are fully sealed with paint to prevent moisture absorption.

What is the best way to attach these to the wall?

A combination of high-strength grab adhesive and mechanical fixings (nails or pins) provides the most secure and permanent hold.

What size is the board?

Each length is 18mm thick, 170mm high, and 3040mm long.

Is the primer finish consistent?

Yes, the Groove II series features a consistent factory-applied primer designed to provide a uniform base for your final paint application.

Troubleshooting

Board is not sitting flush against the wall

Check the wall surface for unevenness; you may need to use a flexible decorators' caulk along the top edge to seal gaps.

Joints are opening up over time

Ensure that the board was properly acclimatized to the room temperature before installation and use a quality wood glue on all butt joints.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Ready to paint immediately with minimal surface sanding
  • Soft curved design adds a touch of elegance to any room
  • Provides robust protection for wall plasterboard edges
  • Ideal for covering large expansion gaps due to 170mm height

Cons

  • Requires final topcoat painting to achieve the desired finish
  • Fixed length of 3040mm may lead to off-cut waste in specific room layouts
  • Requires professional-grade miter saw for precise corner joints

Setup, Compatibility & Care

For the best results, ensure your walls are clean, dry, and dust-free before installation. Use a high-quality adhesive combined with finish nails or pins for a secure bond. When cutting to size, use a sharp miter saw to ensure clean, tight joints at corners. Once installed, lightly sand any joints or filled areas with fine-grit sandpaper before applying your topcoat of paint. For routine maintenance, wipe the boards down with a soft, damp cloth; avoid abrasive cleaners that could damage the paint finish. Periodic inspection for moisture ingress near the base is recommended in wet areas.
