The National Skirting - Groove I in White offers a unique design with contrasting curves to elevate room aesthetics, acting as a protective barrier for walls and floor joints. A key benefit is its pre-primed finish, ready for customisation. However, the MDF construction means it requires protection from excessive moisture.

FAQs

What material is the Groove I skirting board made from?

The skirting board is made from MDF (Medium-Density Fibreboard).

Is the skirting board ready to paint?

Yes, it comes with a pristine white primed finish, ready for your custom paint or gloss application.

What are the dimensions of the skirting board?

Each board is 18mm thick, 195mm wide, and 3040mm (3.04 meters) long.

Can this skirting board be used in a bathroom?

While durable, MDF is best suited for dry interior environments. Prolonged exposure to high humidity or moisture in bathrooms is not recommended unless extensively and properly sealed with a moisture-resistant finish.

How should I clean the skirting board?

Clean gently with a soft, slightly damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or excessive water.

How many skirting boards do I need for a room?

Measure the total perimeter of the room where the skirting board will be installed. Divide this total by the length of one board (3.04 meters) and round up to the nearest whole number to account for cuts and waste.

What is the benefit of the Groove I design?

The Groove I design features contrasting inward and outer curves, which adds a unique visual element and sophisticated detail to your interior walls compared to a flat or simple profile.

Troubleshooting

Skirting board bows or warps

Ensure the boards were properly acclimatised before installation and stored flat. Check that the adhesive or fixings are evenly distributed and secure.

Cracks appear at joints or edges

This can occur if the material expands or contracts significantly. Ensure proper acclimatisation and consider using a flexible filler before painting. Avoid over-tightening nails.

Paint finish is uneven or peels

Ensure the primed surface was clean and dry before painting. Apply thin, even coats and allow adequate drying time between them. Use a suitable primer if applying a dark colour over the white base.

Damage during cutting

Use a sharp, fine-toothed saw and a steady hand. Consider using a mitre box or saw guide for precise, clean cuts, especially on angled joints.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Unique, eye-catching design adds character to a room.
  • Pre-primed surface simplifies and speeds up the finishing process.
  • Durable construction provides long-term wall protection.
  • The 3.04-meter length reduces seams for a cleaner installation.
  • Suitable for a wide range of interior styles.

Cons

  • MDF material can be susceptible to moisture damage if not properly sealed.
  • Requires painting or finishing to achieve the desired final look.
  • May be more costly than basic skirting board options due to its detailed profile.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Acclimatisation: Allow the skirting boards to acclimatise to the room's environment for at least 48-72 hours before installation. Store them flat in the room where they will be fitted.
  2. Cutting: Use a fine-toothed saw for clean cuts. Measure carefully and cut boards to size, accounting for corners and any obstacles.
  3. Installation: Fix the skirting boards to the wall using appropriate adhesive (e.g., grab adhesive) or nails. Ensure a secure fit.
  4. Finishing: Once installed and adhesive is cured, apply your desired paint or gloss finish. Apply multiple thin coats for best results, allowing adequate drying time between each.

Compatibility:

  • Surfaces: Suitable for installation on plaster, plasterboard, and existing timber or concrete walls.
  • Flooring: Compatible with most flooring types including carpet, laminate, wood, and tile.
  • Environment: Best suited for dry interior environments. Avoid areas with prolonged high humidity or direct water exposure.

Care:

  • Clean using a soft, slightly damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or excessive moisture.
  • Wipe up spills immediately.
  • For ongoing protection, ensure a good quality paint or sealant has been applied to all surfaces, especially edges and ends.
