FAQs

What is the primary benefit of the moisture-resistant MDF?

The moisture-resistant MDF helps the skirting board withstand higher humidity levels, making it more durable and less prone to swelling or damage in areas like kitchens and bathrooms compared to standard wood.

Can I paint this skirting board immediately after installation?

Yes, the skirting board comes with a white primed finish, which is ready for painting. For best results, ensure the surface is clean and smooth before applying your chosen paint or gloss.

What are the dimensions of this skirting board?

The dimensions are 18mm thickness, 195mm height, and 4200mm length.

Is the pencil round profile suitable for modern homes?

Yes, the simple, soft curved edge of the pencil round profile is versatile and complements both traditional and modern interior design styles.

How should I clean the skirting board?

Wipe the skirting board with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners that could damage the finish.

What type of adhesive or fixings should I use?

You can use a strong wood adhesive or standard nails or screws suitable for MDF and your wall type. Ensure fixings are countersunk for a smooth finish.

Can this skirting board be used in a bathroom?

Yes, due to its moisture-resistant MDF construction, it is suitable for bathrooms, provided it is properly installed and any potential for direct water splash is managed.

Troubleshooting

Skirting board does not sit flush against the wall.

Check for unevenness in the wall. Use shims behind the skirting board in recessed areas or apply a flexible filler along the top edge to create a seamless finish.

Paint finish appears uneven after application.

Ensure the primed surface was smooth and free of dust before painting. Apply thin, even coats of paint and allow adequate drying time between coats. Lightly sand between coats if necessary.

MDF shows signs of swelling.

While moisture-resistant, prolonged direct exposure to water can affect MDF. Ensure the area is well-ventilated and address any potential water leaks immediately. Use appropriate sealants if installing in very high-moisture areas.

Cuts are not clean.

Use a sharp, fine-tooth saw blade specifically designed for MDF or wood. Ensure the board is securely held while cutting to prevent chipping.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Measure and Cut: Accurately measure the lengths of wall where the skirting board will be installed. Use a fine-tooth saw for clean cuts.
  2. Prepare Surface: Ensure the wall surface is clean, dry, and free from dust or debris.
  3. Adhere/Fix: Apply a suitable wood adhesive or use appropriate fixings (nails or screws) to secure the skirting board to the wall. Ensure it is level.
  4. Finishing: Once installed, fill any nail holes or gaps with wood filler. Sand smooth after drying.

Compatibility:

  • Compatible with most standard wall types (plasterboard, brick, etc.) when appropriate fixings are used.
  • Suitable for use with various flooring types, including carpet, laminate, tile, and wood.

Care:

  • Clean with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or excessive moisture.
