Product Information

Full details

The National Skirting Ogee Skirting Board is ideal for homeowners and interior renovators seeking a classic, sophisticated transition between walls and floors. Its primary benefit is the moisture-resistant composition, which offers superior longevity compared to untreated timber; however, users should note that at 250mm, this is a taller board that may overwhelm very small rooms with low ceilings.

FAQs

Can I install this in a bathroom?

Yes, the moisture-resistant properties make it suitable for bathrooms, though it should be fully sealed with paint to ensure maximum protection.

Do I need to sand the board before painting?

It is recommended to give the board a very light sand with fine-grit sandpaper to remove any debris and provide the best surface for your topcoat.

How do I join two lengths together?

The best method is to use a scarf joint (an angled cut) rather than a butt joint, as this creates a stronger, more seamless transition.

Is the height adjustable?

The height is fixed at 250mm; it is not recommended to trim the height as it would remove the ogee profile detail.

What tools are needed for installation?

You will need a miter saw, measuring tape, pencil, wood adhesive, a caulking gun, and potentially a hammer/nail gun for secure fixing.

Troubleshooting

Board bowing or pulling away from the wall

Ensure adhesive is applied generously and that the wall surface was level and dry during installation; use mechanical fasteners if the wall is uneven.

Visible gaps at corners

Use a sharp miter saw set to 45 degrees. If small gaps appear, use a high-quality decorators caulk to fill the void before painting.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Elegant design suitable for both traditional and modern decor
  • Moisture-resistant for long-term durability
  • Pre-primed surface saves time during installation
  • Long 4200mm boards reduce unsightly seams

Cons

  • Height of 250mm is quite large and may not suit all room proportions
  • Requires professional cutting tools for mitering corners
  • Heavy weight due to thickness and dimensions

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation requires standard carpentry tools including a miter saw, adhesive, and pins or screws.

  1. Measure wall lengths precisely and allow for an extra 10% for cutting waste.
  2. Ensure walls are clean and dry before applying adhesive.
  3. Use a high-quality grip adhesive to bond the board to the wall, reinforced with finish nails if necessary.
  4. Fill any nail holes with decorators caulk or wood filler, then sand smooth before applying your top coat.

Care instructions are straightforward: simply wipe with a slightly damp cloth to remove dust. Because it is moisture-resistant, you do not need to worry about occasional contact with cleaning products, but avoid soaking the material directly.
