FAQs

What is the best way to paint the Groove II skirting board?

After installation and ensuring the primer is dry, apply your chosen paint or gloss in thin, even coats. Allow each coat to dry thoroughly. A second coat is often recommended for a durable finish. Light sanding between coats can improve smoothness.

Can this skirting board be used in a bathroom or kitchen?

While MDF is durable, it is susceptible to moisture. It is recommended to use this skirting board in drier areas of the home. If used in moisture-prone areas, ensure it is thoroughly sealed with multiple coats of a high-quality, moisture-resistant paint or gloss.

How do I join two pieces of skirting board together?

For the most professional look, use a mitre saw to cut a 45-degree angle on each piece, allowing them to join seamlessly. Apply wood adhesive to the cut edges before fitting them together.

What are the exact dimensions of the skirting board?

The dimensions are 18mm thickness, 220mm height, and 3040mm length.

Is the white finish the final colour or a primer?

The white finish is a primer. It is designed to be painted over with your desired colour and finish.

How does the Groove II profile differ from other styles?

The Groove II features a distinctive soft, curved edge detail running down its face, providing a classic and slightly decorative element suitable for traditional interiors. Simpler profiles might be flat or have sharper, more modern edges.

Troubleshooting

Board is difficult to cut cleanly.

Use a sharp, fine-toothed saw blade designed for cutting MDF. Ensure the board is securely supported during cutting.

Adhesive is not holding the board securely.

Ensure surfaces are clean, dry, and free of dust. Use an appropriate, strong adhesive recommended for MDF and skirting boards. Consider supplemental pinning or screwing for extra security.

Paint finish is uneven after application.

Ensure the primer is completely dry before painting. Apply paint in thin, even coats, allowing adequate drying time between each coat. A light sanding with fine-grit sandpaper between coats can also help.

MDF swells or warps.

This typically occurs due to excess moisture. Ensure the room has adequate ventilation and that the skirting board is properly sealed with paint or gloss, especially near potentially damp areas.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure the walls and flooring are clean and dry before installation.
  2. Cut the MDF boards to the required lengths using a fine-toothed saw for clean edges.
  3. Apply adhesive suitable for MDF or use appropriate fixings (nails/screws) to attach the boards to the wall, ensuring they are level.
  4. For corners, mitre cuts are recommended for a professional finish.

Compatibility:

This skirting board is compatible with most flooring types, including carpet, laminate, vinyl, and wood. Its pre-primed surface is ready for most standard interior paints and gloss finishes.

Care:

  • Clean with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or excessive moisture.
