FAQs

What is the primary benefit of the Ogee design?

The Ogee design features unique inward and outward curves that provide visual contrast and add a decorative, elegant touch to interior spaces, working well with both traditional and modern styles.

Is this skirting board suitable for bathrooms?

The skirting board is made from moisture-resistant MDF, making it more durable than standard MDF. It can be suitable for bathrooms with good ventilation, but it is not waterproof and should not be exposed to constant high humidity or direct water.

Can I paint over the white primer?

Yes, the white primed finish is specifically designed to be painted over. It provides a good base for most types of interior paint or gloss, allowing you to match it to your decor.

What are the exact dimensions of the skirting board?

Each board measures 195mm in height, 3040mm in length, and 18mm in thickness.

How do I clean the skirting board?

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

What tools are recommended for cutting MDF skirting board?

For clean cuts, it is recommended to use a fine-toothed saw or a powered mitre saw with a blade specifically designed for cutting MDF to prevent splintering.

Does this skirting board come in other colours?

This specific product is described as white primed. Please refer to the product listing for other available colours or finishes.

Troubleshooting

Board does not adhere to the wall

Ensure the wall surface is clean, dry, and free from dust or grease. Use an appropriate adhesive for MDF and apply it evenly. Check if any temporary supports are needed while the adhesive cures.

Visible gaps between the board and the floor/wall

Ensure the wall and floor are reasonably level. For minor imperfections, use a suitable filler after installation. For larger gaps, consider shimming behind the board or re-fitting.

Chipped edges after cutting

Use a sharp, fine-toothed saw blade specifically designed for MDF. Ensure the board is securely supported during cutting and use a slow, steady cutting motion.

Paint finish is uneven

Ensure the surface was properly sanded after filling and before painting. Apply paint in thin, even coats, allowing adequate drying time between coats. Use a high-quality primer and paint.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Elegant Ogee design enhances interior aesthetics.
  • Moisture-resistant material offers durability.
  • Pre-primed surface allows for easy customization with paint.
  • Protects walls and hides expansion gaps effectively.
  • Suitable for both modern and traditional room styles.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup:

  1. Preparation: Ensure walls are clean, dry, and free from dust or loose paint. Measure the wall lengths accurately.
  2. Cutting: Measure and cut the skirting boards to size using a fine-toothed saw or a mitre saw. A sharp blade is essential for clean cuts on MDF.
  3. Fitting: Apply adhesive suitable for MDF skirting boards to the back of the board or directly to the wall. Press firmly into place, ensuring a snug fit against the wall and flooring. Use temporary supports or pins if necessary while the adhesive sets.
  4. Finishing: Once adhesive is dry, fill any small gaps or nail holes with a suitable filler. Lightly sand the filled areas and the entire board if necessary to prepare for painting.
  5. Painting: Apply your chosen paint or gloss. Two coats are typically recommended for full coverage and durability. Allow adequate drying time between coats.

Compatibility:

This skirting board is compatible with most standard flooring types, including carpet, laminate, vinyl, and hardwood. Its height and thickness are designed to cover typical expansion gaps found between walls and these flooring materials.

Care:

  • Clean using a soft, slightly damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or excessive moisture.
  • Wipe up spills immediately.
  • For deeper cleaning, use a mild soap solution and a damp cloth, followed by a dry cloth.
