FAQs

What is the primary material of this skirting board?

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

Does it come pre-painted?

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

What are the dimensions of this skirting board?

The dimensions are 95mm in height and 3040mm in length, with a thickness of 18mm.

Can I use this in a bathroom or kitchen?

While it is moisture-resistant, it is best suited for standard room environments. For areas with very high humidity or direct water exposure, additional sealing and regular checks are recommended.

How should I cut the skirting board for corners?

For precise cuts, especially for internal and external corners, use a mitre saw to cut angles (typically 45 degrees for a 90-degree corner).

What is the benefit of the primed finish?

The primed finish provides an excellent surface for paint adhesion, ensuring a smoother, more professional-looking final coat and reducing the amount of paint needed.

How do I clean the skirting board after installation?

Wipe gently with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or excessive water to maintain the finish and material integrity.

Troubleshooting

Skirting board does not adhere properly.

Ensure the wall surface is clean, dry, and free from dust or grease. Use a sufficient amount of appropriate adhesive or secure fixings.

Visible gaps after installation.

Use wood filler to fill small gaps. For larger gaps, re-measure and re-cut the board or consider a thicker profile skirting board if appropriate for the wall condition.

Paint finish is uneven or peeling.

Ensure the primed surface was clean and dry before painting. Lightly sand the surface before applying the first coat. Use the recommended type and number of paint coats, allowing adequate drying time between each.

Skirting board swells or warps.

While moisture-resistant, excessive direct water exposure should be avoided. Ensure good ventilation in the room and address any sources of high humidity or leaks.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Measure and Cut: Accurately measure the wall lengths and cut the skirting board to size using a fine-toothed saw or mitre saw for precise angles (e.g., for corners).
  2. Prepare Surface: Ensure the wall and floor meet cleanly. Lightly sand the primed surface if necessary for optimal paint adhesion.
  3. Attach: Secure the skirting board to the wall using appropriate wood adhesive, nails, or screws. Ensure a snug fit against both the wall and the flooring.
  4. Fill & Sand: Fill any nail holes or minor gaps with wood filler. Once dry, lightly sand the filled areas smooth.
  5. Paint/Gloss: Apply your chosen paint or gloss finish. Allow adequate drying time between coats as per the manufacturer's instructions.

Compatibility:

This skirting board is compatible with a wide range of flooring types, including laminate, vinyl, carpet, and hardwood. It is designed to cover standard expansion gaps between flooring and walls.

Care:

Clean the skirting board with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or excessive moisture. For deeper cleaning, use a mild soap solution and wipe dry immediately. Regularly check for any damage or wear, especially in high-traffic areas, and touch up paint as needed.
