FAQs

What tools do I need?

You'll need a measuring tape, pencil, saw (for cutting the skirting board), drill and screwdriver (for attaching the clips), level, and potentially a stud finder.

What type of wall fixings should I use?

Use appropriate wall plugs and screws suitable for your wall type (e.g., plasterboard, solid wall). Consult with a hardware specialist if unsure.

How far apart should I space the clips?

Space the clips approximately every 40-60cm (16-24 inches) along the wall for optimal support.

Can I use these clips with different types of skirting boards?

No, these clips are designed specifically for MDF skirting boards.

How do I remove the skirting board if needed?

Gently pry the skirting board away from the clips. You might need to use a flat tool to release the board.

What if my wall isn't perfectly straight?

Minor imperfections can be accommodated. For significant unevenness, consider using shims behind the clips to ensure a flush finish.

Are these clips reusable?

Yes, the clips can be reused if removed carefully and undamaged.

Troubleshooting

Skirting board is not flush against the wall.

Check clip alignment and ensure the wall is flat. Adjust clip position or use shims if necessary.

Skirting board feels loose.

Ensure clips are securely attached to the wall and that the skirting board is firmly engaged with the clips. Add additional clips if needed.

Clips are visible.

Ensure the skirting board is fully engaged with the clips. The clips should be hidden behind the board. Check for any obstructions.
