Troubleshooting

Skirting board not adhering properly

Ensure the wall surface is clean, dry, and free of dust. Use an appropriate, high-strength grab adhesive and apply liberally to the back of the board or wall. Ensure sufficient pressure is applied during installation and allow adequate curing time for the adhesive.

Rough cuts or splintering during cutting

Use a sharp, fine-tooth saw blade designed for MDF or wood. Ensure the board is securely clamped before cutting and allow the saw to do the work without forcing it.

Paint finish is uneven after application

Ensure the primed surface was lightly sanded and dust-free before painting. Apply thin, even coats of paint rather than one thick coat. Use a high-quality primer if necessary before the topcoat.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Durable and long-lasting due to moisture-resistant MDF.
  • Provides a versatile base for custom paint or gloss finishes.
  • Enhances room aesthetics with its elegant Lisbon profile.
  • Large board dimensions reduce installation time and the number of seams.
  • Suitable for a wide range of interior design styles.

Cons

  • Requires additional painting or finishing steps.
  • MDF can be heavier than some alternative skirting materials.
  • Requires appropriate cutting tools for installation.
  • May not be suitable for areas with extremely high humidity without proper sealing.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. 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.
  2. Prepare Surface: Ensure the wall surface is clean, dry, and free from dust.
  3. 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.
  4. Secure (Optional): For added security, especially on longer runs, use a few finishing nails or brads, ensuring they are countersunk.
  5. 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.
