FAQs

What material is the skirting board made from?

The skirting board is made from moisture-resistant MDF (Medium-Density Fibreboard).

Does it come painted?

No, it comes with a white primed finish that is ready for you to paint or gloss as desired.

What are the dimensions of the board?

Each board is 18mm thick, 120mm wide, and 3040mm long.

Is this skirting board suitable for bathrooms?

While made from moisture-resistant MDF, it is best suited for general interior use. For very high-humidity areas like bathrooms, ensure a robust sealing and painting process is applied.

How do I clean the skirting board?

Clean with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners and excessive water.

Can I install this myself?

Yes, with basic DIY skills, appropriate tools, and careful attention to cutting and fitting instructions, self-installation is possible.

Will the white primer cover imperfections?

The primer provides a uniform base, but it is recommended to fill any significant imperfections or gaps before painting for the best finish.

Troubleshooting

Board doesn't sit flush against the wall.

Check for unevenness in the wall surface. Minor imperfections can be addressed with filler before installation. Ensure the wall is prepared properly and free from debris.

Visible seams or gaps between boards.

Ensure cuts are precise and square. Use a fine-tooth saw for clean edges. Small gaps can be filled with wood filler and sanded smooth before painting. For larger gaps, consider re-cutting the board.

Paint finish is uneven or peeling.

Ensure the board was properly primed and all filler/adhesive was dry before painting. Use a high-quality primer suitable for MDF. Apply paint in thin, even coats, allowing adequate drying time between applications.

Damage to the profile during handling.

Handle boards with care, especially the detailed profile. If minor chipping occurs, it can often be repaired with wood filler and careful sanding before painting. Use appropriate tools for cutting and fitting.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Preparation: Ensure the wall surface is clean, dry, and free from dust or loose paint. Acclimatize the boards to the room environment for at least 24 hours before installation.
  2. Cutting: Measure and cut boards to the required lengths using a fine-tooth saw for clean, precise cuts. Mitre cuts will be needed for corners.
  3. Fitting: Attach the skirting boards to the wall using appropriate adhesive, nails, or screws. Ensure a snug fit against the wall and floor.
  4. Finishing: Once installed, fill any nail holes or small gaps with wood filler. Lightly sand the entire surface if necessary.
  5. Painting: Apply your chosen paint system (e.g., primer, undercoat, and topcoat) according to the paint manufacturer's instructions. Allow adequate drying time between coats.

Compatibility:

This skirting board is compatible with most standard wall and flooring types. It is designed for interior use and can be installed in most residential rooms.

Care:

Clean the skirting board with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or excessive water, as this can damage the MDF and finish. For stubborn marks, use a mild detergent solution and dry immediately.
