Product Information

Full details

The National Skirting Torus II Skirting Board is designed for homeowners and contractors looking for a durable, aesthetically versatile trim solution to bridge the gap between floors and walls. Featuring a classic, consistent profile and moisture-resistant MDF construction, this board provides a clean, professional finish that complements both modern and traditional interiors, though its 18mm thickness and 220mm height require careful planning for room clearance and existing architectural features.

FAQs

Can I use these boards in a bathroom?

Yes, the moisture-resistant MDF makes them suitable for bathrooms, though they should not be installed in areas subject to direct water spray or standing water.

What type of paint should I use?

You can use most standard interior wood paints, including oil-based or water-based gloss, satin, or matte finishes.

Do I need to sand before painting?

While pre-primed, a light sanding with fine-grit sandpaper is recommended to ensure the smoothest possible final finish.

Can I cut these with a handsaw?

Yes, but for cleaner miters at corners, a power miter saw is highly recommended.

What is the total length of one board?

Each individual board is 3040mm in length.

Is the profile double-sided?

No, the Torus II profile is on one side; the back is generally flat for mounting against the wall.

Troubleshooting

Board is bowing against the wall

Ensure the wall is plumb. If the wall is uneven, use a combination of flexible adhesive and additional fixing points to pull the board flush.

Paint not adhering well

Ensure the pre-primed surface is lightly sanded and free of dust before applying your chosen topcoat.

Joints are visible

Use a wood filler specifically designed for MDF to fill gaps, sand smooth once dry, and re-prime the area before painting.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Moisture-resistant properties ensure long-term durability in varied climates
  • Pre-primed surface significantly reduces preparation time before final painting
  • Consistent profile makes it easy to match existing trim during renovations
  • Provides a high-quality, professional finish suitable for DIY and professional projects

Cons

  • Large 220mm profile may be too tall for smaller rooms or lower ceilings
  • MDF material can be susceptible to damage if heavily impacted compared to hardwood
  • The 3040mm length requires careful transport and handling to avoid breakage

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To install, ensure your wall surfaces are flat and free of debris. Use a combination of construction adhesive and pin nails for a secure fit, countersinking the nails before filling and painting. Because the board is moisture-resistant, it is suitable for most indoor environments, though it should be allowed to acclimatize in the room for 24-48 hours before installation to prevent movement. For care, wipe down with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust. If the finish is scuffed, lightly sand the area and touch up with your original paint choice. Avoid soaking the board during floor cleaning to maintain the integrity of the MDF core.
