Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Measure and Cut: Measure the lengths of wall where the skirting board will be installed. Use a fine-tooth saw for clean cuts. Mitre cuts are recommended for corners.
- Prepare Surface: Ensure walls are clean, dry, and free from dust or loose paint.
- Attach Board: Apply a suitable adhesive designed for MDF skirting boards to the back of the board or directly to the wall. Press firmly into place. For added security, especially on longer runs or in high-traffic areas, use a few finishing nails.
- Finishing (Painting/Glossing): Once adhesive is fully cured and board is securely fixed, apply your chosen paint or gloss. Apply a primer if using oil-based paints. Ensure even coats for a smooth finish.
Compatibility:
This skirting board is compatible with most standard wall and flooring types. It is designed to sit flush against plasterboard, plaster, or brick walls. Ensure any gaps between the wall and board are filled with appropriate filler before painting.
Care:
Clean with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or excessive moisture. For painted surfaces, use mild soap and water if necessary. Minor scuffs can typically be touched up with matching paint.
