FAQs

What type of paint should I use on the Oslo skirting board?

You can use most types of interior paint, including emulsion, eggshell, satin, or gloss finishes. Ensure the paint is suitable for wood or MDF surfaces and follow the paint manufacturer's application guidelines.

Is this skirting board suitable for bathrooms?

The board is moisture-resistant, making it more suitable than standard MDF for areas with moderate humidity. However, it is not waterproof. For very wet environments like shower areas, additional sealing or specialized bathroom panelling might be more appropriate.

How should I store the skirting boards before installation?

Store them flat in a dry, temperate environment, away from direct sunlight and moisture. Avoid storing them vertically as this can lead to warping.

Can the curved edge be painted a different color than the rest of the board?

Yes, once primed, you can paint the curved edge and the main surface of the board in different colors or finishes to create a specific design effect.

What are the exact dimensions of the skirting board?

The skirting board measures 18mm in thickness, 195mm in height, and comes in a length of 4200mm.

How do I clean the skirting board after it's painted?

Clean gently with a soft cloth dampened with water. For tougher marks, a mild soap solution can be used, followed by a wipe with a clean, damp cloth. Ensure it dries thoroughly.

Troubleshooting

Primed surface not accepting paint evenly.

Ensure the surface is clean and dry. Lightly sand the primed surface with fine-grit sandpaper before applying the first coat of paint. Use a high-quality primer if applying a dark color over the white base.

Boards do not cut cleanly.

Use a sharp, fine-tooth saw blade specifically designed for MDF or wood. Ensure the board is securely clamped before cutting to prevent splintering.

Minor chipping during handling or installation.

Use wood filler to repair small chips or imperfections. Allow the filler to dry completely before sanding smooth and repainting the affected area.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Enhances interior aesthetics with its elegant curved profile.
  • Moisture-resistant material offers greater durability in different environments.
  • Primed surface allows for easy customization with paint.
  • Provides practical protection for walls.
  • Suitable for a wide range of interior styles, both modern and traditional.

Cons

  • Requires painting after installation to achieve the final desired look.
  • MDF, while moisture-resistant, is not entirely waterproof and requires careful placement in extremely wet areas.
  • The 4200mm length may require cutting for smaller rooms, leading to potential waste.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Before installation, ensure the skirting boards are acclimatized to the room's environment for at least 48 hours. Cut to size using a fine-tooth saw for clean edges. The boards can be affixed using appropriate wood adhesives, nails, or screws, ensuring they are securely attached to the wall. Once installed, apply your chosen paint or gloss finish, following the manufacturer's instructions for best results.

Compatibility: This skirting board is compatible with most standard wall and flooring types. It is designed to conceal the joint between plasterboard, plaster, or brick walls and various flooring materials like carpet, laminate, vinyl, or wood.

Care: Clean with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or excessive moisture, as this can damage the material and finish. For painted surfaces, use mild, water-based cleaning solutions.
