Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Preparation: Ensure the wall surface is clean, dry, and free from dust or debris. Any existing skirting should be removed.
- 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.
- 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.
- Finishing: Allow adhesive to cure completely. Fill any nail holes or gaps with wood filler. Sand smooth.
- 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.
