FAQs

What is the profile of this skirting board?

This skirting board features an 'Ovolo' profile, characterized by a flat surface with a softly curved edge.

What material is the skirting board made from?

It is made from moisture-resistant MDF (Medium-Density Fibreboard).

No, it comes with a white primed finish, ready for you to apply your chosen paint or gloss.

What are the dimensions of this skirting board?

The dimensions are 18mm thick, 170mm high, and 3040mm long.

Can this skirting board be used in a bathroom?

While it is moisture-resistant, it is best suited for standard interior rooms. For bathrooms or high-humidity areas, additional sealing and care would be recommended.

How should I prepare the surface before painting?

Lightly sand the primed surface with fine-grit sandpaper and wipe clean to remove dust before applying your paint or gloss.

Is this skirting board suitable for modern interiors?

Yes, while the Ovolo profile is traditional, its clean lines can also complement modern interiors seeking a touch of classic detail.

Troubleshooting

Primed surface feels rough

Lightly sand the surface with fine-grit sandpaper (240-grit or higher) before painting to achieve a smooth finish.

Cuts are not clean

Ensure you are using a sharp, fine-tooth saw blade designed for MDF or wood. Make cuts slowly and steadily.

Skirting board does not adhere well

Ensure the wall surface is clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, or old paint. Apply an appropriate wood adhesive evenly and ensure adequate pressure is applied during installation.

Damage from moisture

While moisture-resistant, prolonged exposure to standing water or very high humidity can still affect MDF. Ensure proper sealing and avoid installation in areas prone to excessive dampness without additional protective coatings.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Adds a classic, traditional aesthetic to any room.
  • Moisture-resistant material ensures durability and longevity.
  • Primed finish allows for easy customization with paint or gloss.
  • Generous size offers good coverage and value.
  • Suitable for a wide range of interior styles.

Cons

  • Primed surface may require light sanding for a perfectly smooth finish.
  • MDF material is susceptible to damage from excessive moisture if not properly sealed.
  • Long lengths may require assistance for handling and installation.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

Before installation, ensure the skirting boards are acclimated to the room's environment. Lightly sand the primed surface with fine-grit sandpaper (e.g., 240-grit) to ensure optimal adhesion for paint or gloss. Cut boards to size using a fine-tooth saw for clean edges. Install using appropriate wood adhesives and/or nails, ensuring a snug fit against the wall and floor.

Compatibility:

This skirting board is compatible with most standard wall and flooring types. It is suitable for installation in most interior rooms, including living areas, bedrooms, and hallways. Ensure the wall surface is clean, dry, and free from dust before applying adhesive.

Care:

Clean the skirting board with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or excessive moisture, as this can damage the MDF. For maintenance, touch up the painted or glossed finish as needed to keep it looking fresh. The moisture-resistant nature of the MDF provides a degree of protection, but it is not intended for direct contact with water or high-humidity environments like bathrooms or showers without proper sealing.
