Product Information

Full details

The National Skirting Chamfered Skirting Board is an ideal choice for homeowners and renovators seeking a clean, classic transition between walls and floors in both modern and traditional interiors. Crafted from moisture-resistant MDF, it provides excellent durability and a consistent finish that won't warp like natural timber. While the boards come pre-primed and ready for your final coat of paint, it is important to note that you will need to perform the final top-coat application yourself to match your specific interior color scheme.

FAQs

Can I use these in a bathroom?

Yes, the moisture-resistant MDF is suitable for bathrooms, but it should not be placed in direct contact with standing water or inside shower cubicles.

Do I need to prime the board again?

No, the boards are pre-primed. However, a light sanding followed by a quick wipe is recommended for the best paint adhesion.

What type of paint should I use?

You can use most standard interior wood paints, including water-based gloss, eggshell, or satin finish paints.

Can these be fixed with screws?

Yes, you can fix them with screws, but ensure you countersink the heads and fill them with a suitable wood filler before painting.

What is the height of this board?

The board height is 95mm.

Is the MDF solid throughout?

Yes, it is high-density moisture-resistant MDF, providing a uniform, solid composition throughout the board.

Troubleshooting

Joints opening at the corners

Ensure the wall corner is square and use a stronger wood-specific adhesive to bond the mitred faces together during installation.

Paint not adhering well to the primer

Lightly sand the factory primer with fine-grit sandpaper (240 grit) and wipe clean with a tack cloth before applying your top coat.

Board bowing along the wall

Ensure the wall is flat; if the wall is uneven, use flexible decorators caulk to seal the gap between the skirting and the wall.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation Steps:

  1. Measure your wall spans and cut the boards to size using a mitre saw to ensure accurate corners.
  2. Ensure walls are dry, clean, and free from loose debris before applying adhesive.
  3. Apply a high-strength grab adhesive to the back of the board or use lost-head nails for a mechanical fix.
  4. Once installed, fill any nail holes with decorators caulk or wood filler.
  5. Finish by applying your desired top-coat paint once the filler is dry.

Care: Clean with a soft, dry cloth or a damp microfibre cloth to remove dust. Avoid harsh chemical cleaners that may damage the paint finish. If the surface becomes chipped, lightly sand the area and touch up with matching paint.
