National Skirting MDF Skirting Board - White - Groove II

Primed means the board has a base coat of primer applied, making it ready for your final coat of paint or gloss. It's designed to accept paint easily and evenly.

While possible, MDF is susceptible to moisture. It is best to ensure the boards are thoroughly sealed with multiple coats of moisture-resistant paint or gloss after installation and avoid direct exposure to high humidity.

Measure accurately and cut precisely. Butt the ends of the boards tightly together and use a good quality wood filler to disguise any minor gaps before painting. The long length of each board minimizes the number of joints needed.

You will need a sharp fine-tooth handsaw or a power saw (like a mitre saw), a tape measure, a pencil, wood adhesive, and potentially nails or screws for fixing. Safety glasses are also recommended.

The primer layer is a standard base coat applied for paint adhesion. It is not considered a significant protective barrier against moisture on its own; further painting is essential for protection.
