FAQs

What material is the Venice Skirting Board made from?

The Venice Skirting Board is made from moisture-resistant Medium-Density Fibreboard (MDF).

Does it come in different colors?

The product comes with a white primed finish, ready for you to paint in any color of your choice.

Can I install this in a bathroom?

The MDF is moisture-resistant, making it suitable for most areas including hallways and living spaces. For very high-humidity areas like bathrooms, it is recommended to ensure good ventilation and potentially apply a water-resistant sealant before painting for maximum durability.

How should I clean the skirting board?

Wipe clean with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or excessive moisture.

What is the profile of the Venice skirting board?

The Venice series features an elegant, classic profile designed to enhance both modern and traditional interiors.

Do I need to paint this board?

Yes, the board comes primed white and requires painting to achieve your desired final aesthetic and for optimal protection.

What tools are needed for installation?

You will typically need a measuring tape, a fine-toothed saw for cutting, a level, wood adhesive and/or nails, a hammer, and potentially a mitre box for precise angled cuts.

Troubleshooting

Board does not adhere well to the wall.

Ensure the wall surface is properly prepared (clean, dry, and level). Use an adequate amount of suitable wood adhesive or ensure nails are driven securely and into wall studs where possible.

Cuts are not clean or are splintering.

Use a sharp, fine-toothed saw. A mitre saw or hand saw with a high blade count is recommended for MDF. Consider using a scoring knife first to score the cut line before sawing.

Paint finish is uneven or shows brush marks.

Ensure the primer coat is smooth and has been lightly sanded if necessary. Use a high-quality brush or roller appropriate for the paint type. Apply thin, even coats and allow sufficient drying time between them.

Moisture damage or swelling observed.

While moisture-resistant, prolonged exposure to high humidity or direct water contact can affect MDF. Ensure proper ventilation in the room and avoid direct splashing. For very humid environments, consider applying a water-resistant sealant before painting.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup:

  1. Ensure the wall surface is clean, dry, and free from dust before installation.
  2. Measure and cut the skirting boards to the required lengths using a fine-toothed saw for clean edges.
  3. Apply a suitable wood adhesive or use nails to secure the skirting board to the wall, ensuring a firm fit.
  4. Fill any gaps or nail holes with appropriate wood filler and sand smooth once dry.
  5. Apply your chosen paint color to the primed surface. Allow adequate drying time between coats as per paint manufacturer instructions.

Compatibility:

This skirting board is compatible with most standard wall types, including plasterboard and solid walls, when appropriate fixings are used. It is designed to be painted with standard emulsion, gloss, or satin paints.

Care:

Clean with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or excessive moisture. For deeper cleaning, use a mild soap solution and dry immediately with a clean cloth.
