Product Information

Full details

The National Skirting Edge I MDF Skirting Board is designed for homeowners seeking to add a polished and refined look to their interiors, offering a unique aesthetic with its dual inward and outer curves. Its key benefit lies in its blend of style and durability, provided by moisture-resistant MDF with a primed white finish ready for customization. A potential caveat is that the moisture resistance is for general use and not suited for high-humidity environments without additional sealing.

FAQs

What is the main benefit of the Edge I profile?

The Edge I profile features both inward and outer curves, providing a distinctive visual contrast that can enhance both modern and traditional interior designs.

Is this skirting board suitable for bathrooms?

While made from moisture-resistant MDF, it is best suited for well-ventilated bathrooms and not for areas with prolonged direct exposure to high humidity or water. Additional sealing may be recommended for very humid environments.

Can I paint the skirting board immediately after installation?

Yes, the board comes with a white primed finish that is ready for painting or glossing. Ensure any filler used is dry and sanded smooth before applying your chosen finish.

What are the dimensions of the skirting board?

The dimensions are 18mm in thickness, 140mm in height, and each board is 4200mm in length.

How should I clean the skirting board?

Clean with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or excessive moisture to maintain the MDF's integrity.

What type of saw is best for cutting this MDF skirting board?

A sharp, fine-tooth saw, such as a handsaw, mitre saw, or jigsaw with a fine-cut blade, is recommended for clean cuts without splintering.

Troubleshooting

Board not adhering well

Ensure the wall surface is clean, dry, and free from dust or grease. Use a high-quality, appropriate adhesive for MDF and apply it evenly.

Splintering during cutting

Use a sharp, fine-tooth saw and ensure the board is securely supported. Consider using a mitre box for precise, clean cuts.

Uneven finish after painting

Lightly sand the primed surface before painting. Apply thin, even coats of paint, allowing each coat to dry fully before applying the next.

Visible joints

Minimize joints by using the longest possible lengths. Ensure cuts are precise. Fill small gaps with appropriate wood filler and sand smooth before painting.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Measure and Cut: Carefully measure the lengths of wall where the skirting will be installed. Use a fine-tooth saw for clean cuts, especially when mitering corners.
  2. Prepare Surface: Ensure walls are clean, dry, and free from dust or old adhesive.
  3. Fixing: Adhere the skirting board using a suitable strong adhesive or by nailing it to the wall studs. For a clean finish, consider using panel pins and filling the holes.
  4. Finishing: Once installed, prepare the surface for painting by lightly sanding any rough areas. Apply your chosen paint or gloss finish, following the manufacturer's instructions for best results.
