FAQs

What is the profile of this skirting board?

The profile is a Half Bullnose, featuring a distinctive design with both inward and outer curves for a clean cut yet elegant look.

What material is the skirting board made from?

It is constructed from moisture-resistant MDF.

Does it come painted?

No, it comes with a white primed finish, ready for you to paint or gloss in your desired color.

What are the dimensions of each board?

Each board measures 18mm thick and has a length of 3040mm (3.04 meters).

Can I use this in a bathroom or kitchen?

While the MDF is moisture-resistant, it's best suited for living areas, hallways, and bedrooms. For high-moisture areas like bathrooms or kitchens, ensure it is thoroughly sealed and painted, and consider specific moisture-barrier treatments.

How should I clean the skirting board?

Wipe with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or excessive water.

Where is this product manufactured?

This skirting board is manufactured in the UK.

Troubleshooting

Board not adhering to the wall

Ensure the wall surface is clean, dry, and even. Use a strong wood adhesive and apply sufficient pressure during fixing, or add appropriate nails.

Gaps between boards or at corners

Re-measure and re-cut the boards for a precise fit. Use wood filler to conceal small gaps after installation and before painting.

Paint finish is uneven

Ensure the primed surface is smooth and free from dust before painting. Apply thin, even coats of paint and allow adequate drying time between applications.

Moisture damage after installation

While the MDF is moisture-resistant, prolonged exposure to high humidity or direct water contact can cause swelling. Ensure adequate ventilation and proper sealing/painting of the board.

Pros and Cons

Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure the walls are clean, dry, and free from dust before installation.
  2. Measure and cut the skirting boards to the required lengths using a fine-toothed saw for clean cuts. Mitre cuts will be needed for internal and external corners.
  3. Apply a suitable wood adhesive or use nails to securely fix the boards to the wall, ensuring a flush fit.
  4. For a seamless finish, fill any nail holes and gaps with wood filler and allow to dry.
  5. Once prepared, apply your chosen paint or gloss finish. Two coats are typically recommended for optimal coverage.

Compatibility:

  • Compatible with most standard wall types (plasterboard, brick, etc.) when appropriate fixings are used.
  • Suitable for use with various flooring types, including carpet, laminate, and hardwood.
  • Designed to complement a wide range of interior design styles, from traditional to contemporary.

Care:

  • Clean regularly with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or excessive moisture.
  • Periodically check for any signs of damage or wear and touch up paintwork as needed.
