Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- 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).
- Prepare Surface: Ensure the wall and floor meet cleanly. Lightly sand the primed surface if necessary for optimal paint adhesion.
- 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.
- Fill & Sand: Fill any nail holes or minor gaps with wood filler. Once dry, lightly sand the filled areas smooth.
- 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.
