Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup:
- Preparation: Ensure walls are clean, dry, and free from dust or loose paint. Measure the wall lengths accurately.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
