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, ready for you to paint or gloss to your desired color.

What are the dimensions of the skirting board?

The dimensions are 18mm thickness, 220mm height, and 4200mm length.

Can I use this in a bathroom?

While it is moisture-resistant, it is best suited for general interior use. For very high-humidity areas like bathrooms, ensure it is thoroughly sealed with a water-resistant paint or varnish and that the area is well-ventilated.

How should I cut the skirting board for corners?

Use a mitre saw to cut precise angles for internal and external corners. A standard fine-toothed saw can also be used with care.

How do I clean the skirting board once installed and painted?

Clean gently with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or excessive water.

What is the 'Ogee' design?

The Ogee design features a distinctive S-shaped curve with both inward and outward curves, providing a decorative and contrasting profile.

Troubleshooting

Board is not adhering to the wall

Ensure the wall surface is clean, dry, and free from dust. Reapply adhesive or use appropriate fixings securely.

Visible joins or gaps after installation

Use a high-quality wood filler to fill any gaps, allowing it to dry completely before sanding smooth. Ensure precise cuts are made where boards meet.

Paint finish is uneven or blotchy

Ensure the primer is fully dry and lightly sanded before applying the topcoat. Use a high-quality paint suitable for MDF and apply in thin, even coats.

MDF appears to be swelling

This indicates excessive moisture. Ensure the area is well-ventilated and the skirting board has been properly sealed with paint or varnish. Address any underlying moisture issues.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure the walls and floor are clean, dry, and level before installation.
  2. Measure and cut the skirting board to the required lengths using a fine-toothed saw or a mitre saw for precise angles.
  3. Apply adhesive or fixings (nails or screws) suitable for MDF skirting boards to the back of the board.
  4. Press firmly into place against the wall, ensuring a snug fit against the floor.
  5. For a seamless finish, fill any nail holes and gaps with a suitable filler, sand smooth, and then prepare for painting.

Compatibility:

This skirting board is designed for use on standard interior walls. It is compatible with most types of wall finishes and flooring. Ensure that any paints or varnishes used are appropriate for MDF.

Care:

To maintain the appearance and integrity of the skirting board, clean gently with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or excessive water, as this can damage the MDF. Regular dusting will help keep it looking its best.
