FAQs
Is this skirting board suitable for high-moisture areas like bathrooms?
Yes, it is made from moisture-resistant MDF, making it ideal for bathrooms and other areas prone to humidity.
Do I need to paint this skirting board?
Yes, it comes pre-primed and requires a final top coat of paint or gloss to achieve the desired look and provide full protection.
What type of paint should I use?
You can use most water-based or solvent-based paints and gloss finishes. Follow the paint manufacturer's recommendations for application.
What are the dimensions of this skirting board?
The dimensions are 18mm thick, 95mm high, and 3040mm long.
Is the wood sustainably sourced?
Yes, the MDF is crafted from FSC-certified wood, sourced from sustainable forestry.
How do I cut this skirting board for corners?
Mitre cuts are recommended for corners, typically at a 45-degree angle for internal and external corners, using a fine-tooth saw for best results.
Can I install this directly onto wallpaper?
For best adhesion, it is recommended to install skirting boards onto a clean, dry wall surface. If installing over wallpaper, ensure it is firmly adhered and consider using a stronger adhesive specifically designed for challenging surfaces.
Troubleshooting
Skirting board will not adhere to the wall.
Ensure the wall surface is clean, dry, and free from dust or grease. Use an appropriate adhesive for MDF and ensure sufficient adhesive is applied. Consider using additional securing pins or nails.
Sanding the pre-primed surface is difficult or leaving a rough finish.
Use a fine-grit sandpaper (e.g., 180-220 grit). Ensure any filler used is completely dry before sanding. Light, even pressure is key.
Paint finish is uneven or shows brush marks.
Ensure the primer coat is fully dry and lightly sanded. Apply paint in thin, even coats rather than one thick coat. Consider using a high-quality paint roller designed for smooth finishes.
Visible gaps at corners or joins.
Check mitre cuts for accuracy. Use a good quality filler to fill any gaps and sand smooth after drying. Ensure the wall is relatively flat where the skirting is being applied.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Ensure the skirting boards are acclimated to the room's temperature and humidity for at least 48 hours before installation.
- Measure and cut the boards to size using a fine-tooth saw for clean, precise cuts. Mitre cuts are recommended for corners.
- Apply adhesive suitable for MDF skirting boards to the back of the board or directly to the wall.
- Press the skirting board firmly into place, using pins or nails for added security if necessary.
- Fill any nail holes and gaps with a suitable filler, then sand smooth once dry.
- Apply your chosen top coat (paint or gloss) in one or two layers, following the manufacturer's instructions for the chosen finish.
Compatibility:
This skirting board is compatible with most standard wall types, including plasterboard and plastered walls. It can be painted with most water-based or solvent-based paints and gloss finishes.
Care:
Clean the skirting board with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or excessive water, as this can damage the finish or the MDF. For deeper cleaning, use a mild detergent diluted in water, followed by a clean, damp cloth wipe-down.
