FAQs

What is the primary material of the Edge II skirting board?

The Edge II skirting board is made from moisture-resistant MDF.

Does the skirting board come pre-painted?

No, it comes with a white primed finish and requires painting or glossing to your preference.

What are the dimensions of a single board?

Each board measures 195mm wide, 4200mm long, and 18mm thick.

Can this skirting board be used in bathrooms?

Due to its moisture-resistant properties, it is suitable for most rooms, but avoiding direct water contact and ensuring a proper seal during painting is recommended for areas with high humidity.

How should I clean the skirting board?

Clean gently with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.

Is this skirting board suitable for modern interiors?

Yes, its clean cut and distinctive curves complement both modern and traditional interiors.

What is the best way to cut the MDF skirting board?

Use a sharp, fine-toothed saw, preferably with a mitre box or guide, for clean and precise cuts.

Troubleshooting

Skirting board not adhering to the wall

Ensure the wall surface is clean, dry, and properly prepared. Use adequate adhesive or fixings, and allow sufficient drying time. Check that the wall is not uneven.

Cuts are not precise or are chipping

Use a sharp, fine-toothed saw and a cutting guide or mitre box for accurate, clean cuts. Slow down the cutting process for MDF.

Paint finish is uneven or blotchy

Ensure the MDF is properly primed and sanded before painting. Apply thin, even coats of paint and allow adequate drying time between coats.

Moisture damage or swelling

While moisture-resistant, prolonged exposure to high humidity should be avoided. Ensure the painted finish is intact and sealed, especially in potentially damp areas. Improve ventilation if necessary.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Preparation: Ensure the wall surface is clean, dry, and free from dust or debris. Any existing skirting should be removed.
  2. Cutting: Measure and cut the skirting boards to the required lengths using a fine-toothed saw for clean cuts. Mitre cuts are recommended for corners.
  3. Adhesive/Fixing: Apply a suitable wood adhesive or panel pins to the back of the skirting board. Press firmly against the wall, ensuring it is level.
  4. Finishing: Allow adhesive to cure completely. Fill any nail holes or gaps with wood filler. Sand smooth.
  5. Painting: Apply your chosen paint or gloss to achieve the desired finish. Two coats are typically recommended for optimal coverage and durability.

Compatibility:

This skirting board is designed to be compatible with most standard wall types, including plasterboard and solid walls.

Care:

  • Clean with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or excessive moisture.
  • If the painted finish becomes damaged, lightly sand the area and reapply paint.
  • Ensure the room is adequately ventilated, especially during the initial painting phase.
