FAQs
What type of adhesive should I use for installation?
A strong grab adhesive specifically designed for wood and MDF is recommended. Ensure it's suitable for the intended environment (e.g., kitchens, bathrooms).
Can this skirting board be used in a very damp bathroom?
Yes, it is constructed from moisture-resistant MDF and is well-suited for bathrooms. However, ensure good ventilation to prevent excessive moisture buildup.
How do I cut the skirting board to size?
Use a fine-tooth saw and measure carefully. A mitre saw is ideal for precise angle cuts. Sand cut edges lightly for a smooth finish.
What is the Torus I profile?
The Torus I profile is a design characterized by a prominent curved reed, offering a classic look, complemented by straight edges for a more contemporary feel.
Does the skirting board come painted?
No, it comes with a white primed finish, ready for you to apply your chosen paint or gloss to match your decor.
What are the dimensions of the skirting board?
The skirting board is 18mm thick, 140mm wide, and 4.2 meters in length.
Is this product environmentally friendly?
Yes, it is crafted from FSC-certified wood, sourced from responsibly managed forests.
Troubleshooting
Skirting board is not adhering properly
Ensure the wall surface is clean, dry, and free from dust or grease. Use a high-quality grab adhesive and apply it evenly. If nailing, ensure appropriate nails are used for the wall material and that they are fully countersunk.
Cut edges appear rough
Use a sharp fine-tooth saw for clean cuts. Sand the cut edges lightly with fine-grit sandpaper after cutting for a smooth finish.
Paint finish is uneven
Ensure the primed surface is clean and dry before painting. Apply paint in thin, even coats, allowing adequate drying time between coats. A primer specific for MDF might enhance adhesion and finish.
Moisture damage is still occurring
While moisture-resistant, prolonged direct water contact can still be an issue. Ensure adequate ventilation in the room and consider additional sealing if the area is prone to extreme or constant moisture.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Ensure walls are clean and dry before installation. The skirting board can be cut to size using standard woodworking tools. It can be adhered using a strong grab adhesive or mechanically fixed with nails or screws, depending on the wall type and desired permanence. For optimal results, pre-drill holes if screwing.
Compatibility: This skirting board is compatible with most standard wall and floor finishes, including plaster, drywall, and tiles. It pairs well with a wide range of paint and gloss finishes. Ensure adequate ventilation in moisture-prone areas, even with moisture-resistant materials.
Care: To clean, wipe with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or excessive moisture. For maintenance, touch up any scratches or scuffs on the painted surface as needed.
