Product Information

Full details

The National Skirting Stockholm Primed Skirting Board is designed for homeowners and contractors seeking a high-quality, durable solution for finishing interior spaces. Its key benefit is the moisture-resistant MDF construction combined with a sleek profile that excels in both dry rooms and high-humidity areas like bathrooms. A notable caveat to consider is that while the board comes with a pre-applied white primer, it requires a final topcoat of your preferred paint or gloss to achieve a finished, protective surface.

FAQs

Can this skirting board be used in a bathroom?

Yes, its moisture-resistant MDF core makes it highly suitable for bathrooms and kitchens.

Do I need to sand the boards before painting?

A light sanding is recommended to remove any transit dust and to provide a 'key' for the final coat to adhere to.

Is the primer the final finish?

No, the white primer is a base layer; you must apply a topcoat of paint, gloss, or satin to complete the installation.

What is the best way to attach these boards to the wall?

You can use a heavy-duty construction adhesive or a combination of adhesive and mechanical fixings like nails or screws.

Are these boards environmentally friendly?

Yes, they are manufactured from FSC-certified wood, ensuring the raw materials come from sustainable sources.

How do I cut the boards for corners?

For clean corners, use a mitre saw to cut the boards at a 45-degree angle to create a seamless mitre joint.

Troubleshooting

Visible gaps between boards

Use high-quality wood filler for the joints and sand smooth before applying the final coat of paint.

Paint not adhering well to the primer

Ensure the surface is wiped clean of all dust and lightly scuff-sand the primer before applying your topcoat.

Board warping during storage

Always store skirting boards horizontally on a level surface, supported at multiple points to prevent bowing.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Resilient against moisture, making it ideal for kitchens and bathrooms
  • Sleek and versatile aesthetic fits both modern and traditional interiors
  • Ready for immediate painting thanks to the factory-applied primer
  • FSC-certified materials support sustainable building practices
  • High-density MDF offers structural durability

Cons

  • Requires a topcoat for optimal protection and aesthetic finish
  • Large dimensions (250mm width) may be oversized for very small rooms
  • Installation requires precision cutting to maintain the profile integrity

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To install, ensure the wall surface is level and free of dust. You can fix the boards using standard adhesive or, for a more permanent solution, use a combination of adhesive and nails or screws driven into timber studs. If using fixings, ensure the heads are countersunk and filled with decorator's filler before painting. For maintenance, a simple wipe-down with a slightly damp cloth is usually sufficient. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive sponges, as these may scratch the paint finish. Always store the boards flat in a dry environment prior to installation to ensure they remain perfectly straight.
