FAQs

Can I use this board in a bathroom?

While the board is durable, it is made of timber. If used in a bathroom, ensure all edges and joints are thoroughly sealed with high-quality paint to prevent moisture ingress.

Do I need to sand the board before painting?

A light sanding with fine-grit paper is recommended to remove any minor imperfections and improve paint adhesion.

How do I choose between Torus and Ogee?

Choose Torus for a simple, classic curved look. Choose Ogee for a more decorative, elegant aesthetic.

Are these boards compatible with all floor types?

Yes, they are suitable for use with wood, laminate, carpet, and tile floors, provided they are installed level.

What is the best way to fix the skirting to the wall?

For most walls, a combination of high-strength adhesive (like liquid nails) and small pin nails provides the most secure and long-lasting hold.

Can the board be painted with oil-based paint?

Yes, as long as the pre-primed surface is clean and dry, it is compatible with most standard interior topcoats including oil-based and water-based options.

Troubleshooting

Difficulty getting clean corner joints

Ensure your mitre saw is calibrated perfectly and use a scrap piece to test the angle before cutting your final board.

Board warping after installation

Ensure the skirting was properly acclimatized to the room's humidity before installation and that it was secured using enough fixing points.

Paint not adhering evenly

Lightly sand the pre-primed surface with fine-grit sandpaper to create a better 'tooth' for your topcoat.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation of the Snowdon Timber Skirting Board should follow these steps:

  1. Acclimatization: Store the boards in the room where they will be installed for at least 24 hours to allow the timber to adjust to room temperature and humidity.
  2. Measurement: Measure the wall length precisely, accounting for mitre cuts at corners.
  3. Cutting: Utilize a mitre box or a power mitre saw to cut the boards at 45-degree angles for internal and external corners.
  4. Fixing: Use a combination of high-strength construction adhesive and pin nails to secure the board to the wall.
  5. Finishing: Fill any nail holes with a paintable wood filler, lightly sand, and apply your final topcoat in the desired color.

Care Instructions: To keep your skirting boards looking their best, wipe them down periodically with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust. If the finish is scuffed over time, touch up the area with your selected topcoat paint to maintain the barrier against moisture and wear.
