Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Measure and Cut: Accurately measure the lengths required for your walls. Use a fine-tooth saw for clean cuts. Mitre cuts are recommended for corners.
- Prepare Surface: Ensure the wall surface is clean, dry, and free from dust.
- Adhere: Apply a suitable adhesive (e.g., grab adhesive) to the back of the skirting board or directly to the wall, following the adhesive manufacturer's instructions. Press firmly into place.
- Secure (Optional): For added security, especially on longer runs, use a few finishing nails or brads, ensuring they are countersunk.
- Finishing: Once adhesive is cured, fill any nail holes and corner gaps with a suitable filler. Lightly sand the entire board after filling to ensure a smooth surface for painting.
Compatibility:
This skirting board is compatible with most standard wall types, including plasterboard, plaster, and brick. It is designed to be painted or glossed to match any interior color scheme.
Care:
- Clean with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or excessive moisture.
- For stubborn marks, use a mild detergent solution on the cloth, then wipe clean with a fresh damp cloth.
- Ensure the painted or glossed surface is fully cured before heavy cleaning.
