FAQs

Can I use these boards in a bathroom?

No, these are MDF-based boards and are not recommended for rooms with high humidity or high risk of water exposure as they may swell or degrade.

What type of paint should I use for the final coat?

You can use most standard interior wood paints, such as satinwood, gloss, or eggshell. Always test a small area first to ensure compatibility.

Do I need to sand the boards before painting?

The boards come pre-primed, but a light sanding with fine-grit sandpaper (e.g., 240 grit) is recommended to ensure the best adhesion for your topcoat.

How should I cut these boards?

A mitre saw is the best tool for making clean, accurate cuts at corners. If you don't have one, a hand saw with a mitre box will also work.

Is the white finish the final color?

No, the white finish is a primer. It is designed to act as a base layer, so you will need to apply a final coat of paint to achieve the desired finish and durability.

Troubleshooting

Board is bowing against the wall

Ensure that the wall surface is level; if not, use additional mechanical fixings like screws or pins to pull the board flush against the wall along with the adhesive.

Joints are visible or separating

Use a wood-specific filler to bridge the gap, sand flush once dry, and touch up with the final paint finish. Ensure the temperature in the room is stable to prevent further material movement.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Primed surface saves time on preparation and base coating
  • 4.2-meter length minimizes the need for unsightly butt joints
  • Versatile design matches both contemporary and classic architectural styles
  • High-quality MDF material ensures long-term structural consistency

Cons

  • Requires a final topcoat paint application
  • Long 4.2-meter lengths may be difficult to transport in smaller vehicles
  • MDF material is not suitable for high-humidity areas like bathrooms or damp basements

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation Steps

  1. Ensure walls are clean and dry before applying adhesive.
  2. Measure the wall length and cut the boards to size using a mitre saw for precise 45-degree corner joints.
  3. Apply a bead of flexible construction adhesive to the back of the board.
  4. Secure the board to the wall, using nails or screws into studs for extra stability.
  5. Fill any nail holes or joints with wood filler, sand lightly once dry, and apply your chosen topcoat.

Compatibility

These boards are compatible with most standard interior wall types. They are best paired with hard flooring or carpet.

Care

To maintain the appearance of the boards, avoid using harsh abrasive cleaners. Dusting with a soft cloth or using a vacuum attachment is usually sufficient. Since these are MDF, ensure they are kept away from prolonged exposure to water or excessive moisture.
