Product Information
Full details
The National Skirting Square Primed Window Board is designed for homeowners and contractors seeking a clean, durable, and low-maintenance alternative to natural timber window sills. It offers a refined, traditional aesthetic with squared edges, making it an excellent choice for modern or classic interiors alike. Its primary benefit is the moisture-resistant composition that prevents common timber issues like warping or splintering; however, note that it arrives pre-primed, meaning you will need to apply a topcoat of paint to achieve the final desired finish and protection.

FAQs
Can this be used in a wet room?
Yes, the moisture-resistant material is suitable for high-humidity environments like bathrooms and wet rooms.
Do I need to prime this before painting?
No, it arrives pre-primed, but you should lightly sand it to provide a 'key' for your final topcoat to stick to.
Is this product made of natural timber?
No, it is a high-quality, engineered alternative designed to eliminate the common issues found in natural timber like warping and knots.
What type of paint should I use?
You can use standard wood paints, such as gloss, satin, or eggshell, compatible with primed surfaces.
Can I cut this with a standard hand saw?
Yes, a fine-toothed hand saw is perfectly adequate for cutting this material.
How do I secure the board?
It can be secured using a combination of high-strength wood adhesive and finish nails for a permanent, secure fit.
Troubleshooting
Paint not adhering properly to the board
Ensure the pre-primed surface is lightly sanded and dust-free before applying your topcoat.
Board edges look rough after cutting
Use a sharp, fine-toothed saw blade and apply masking tape over the cut line before sawing to prevent splintering.
Board appears uneven on the sill
Check that the underlying surface is level; if not, use small shims to adjust the board before fixing it permanently.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install, measure your window reveal precisely and cut the board using a fine-toothed saw to prevent chipping. Secure the board using high-quality wood adhesive or finish nails, ensuring the surface is level. Because the product comes pre-primed, you should lightly sand the surface with fine-grit sandpaper before applying your chosen topcoat (such as satin or gloss) to ensure proper adhesion. For ongoing care, simply wipe with a damp cloth; avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh solvents that could compromise the factory primer or your topcoat.
