National Skirting Skirting Board - White - Square

The primed finish means the skirting board is ready for immediate painting. This allows you to customize the color and finish to perfectly match your interior décor without needing to apply a primer yourself.

While MDF is durable, it is not inherently waterproof. It is best suited for standard living areas. If used in moisture-prone areas, ensure it is thoroughly sealed and painted with a moisture-resistant finish.

For internal and external corners, you will typically need to cut the boards at a 45-degree angle (mitre cut) so they meet cleanly. Use a mitre saw or a mitre box for accurate cuts.

The most secure method is to use a combination of a strong construction adhesive applied to the back of the board and the wall, along with finishing nails for immediate hold while the adhesive cures.

For light scuff marks, try wiping gently with a damp cloth. If the mark persists, use a mild soap solution on the cloth, then wipe clean with plain water and dry thoroughly.

This skirting board measures 18mm in thickness and 250mm in height.

Each piece of skirting board is 3.04 meters (approximately 10 feet) long.

Check wall for unevenness. Use shims behind the board in low spots or scrape high spots on the wall. Ensure the correct adhesive or nails are used for a secure fix.

Use a sharp, fine-toothed saw. Consider using a mitre box for precise angles. Score the surface lightly before making the cut.

Ensure the primed surface was smooth and clean before painting. Apply thin, even coats of paint and allow adequate drying time between coats. Lightly sand any imperfections before the final coat.

Ensure both the wall and the back of the skirting board are clean and dry. Use a high-quality construction adhesive suitable for MDF. Consider using nails in conjunction with adhesive for added support.
