FAQs

What is the primary material of this skirting board?

The skirting board is made from moisture-resistant MDF (Medium-Density Fibreboard).

What are the dimensions of each board?

Each board measures 18mm thick, 250mm wide, and 3040mm long.

Does the skirting board come painted?

No, the skirting board comes with a white primed finish, ready for you to paint or gloss as desired.

Can this skirting board be used in a bathroom?

While made from moisture-resistant MDF, it is best suited for areas with occasional humidity. For areas with constant high moisture like a shower enclosure, other materials might be more suitable. Ensure good ventilation if used in a bathroom.

How should I prepare the board for painting?

Lightly sand the primed surface, wipe clean of any dust, and then apply your chosen paint. For a gloss finish, multiple coats may be required.

Is this skirting board suitable for both modern and traditional homes?

Yes, its clean design and customizable finish make it versatile enough to complement both modern and traditional interior styles.

How do I clean the finished skirting board?

Wipe with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals.

Troubleshooting

Board does not cut cleanly

Ensure you are using a fine-tooth saw blade specifically designed for MDF or wood. Make sure the board is securely supported during the cut.

Paint is not adhering well

Lightly sand the primed surface before painting to create a better key. Ensure the surface is free of dust and oils. Use a high-quality primer suitable for MDF if needed.

Board appears bowed or warped

Ensure the boards were stored flat in a dry environment before installation. If installed, check for excessive moisture in the wall or surrounding area. Allow time for acclimatization before fixing.

Fixings are difficult to insert

Pre-drill small pilot holes for nails or screws, especially near the ends of the board, to prevent splitting. Use appropriate screws for the wall type.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Durable and moisture-resistant MDF construction for longevity.
  • Primed finish allows for custom color matching and a professional look.
  • Versatile design suits both modern and traditional interiors.
  • Generous board size simplifies installation and coverage.
  • Consistent quality ensures a uniform and elegant finish.

Cons

  • Requires painting after installation to achieve the desired look.
  • Specific dimensions may require cutting for smaller spaces or complex layouts.
  • MDF may not be as impact-resistant as solid wood for very high-traffic areas.
  • Primed finish needs careful sanding before painting for optimal results.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Before installation, ensure the boards are acclimatized to the room environment for at least 48 hours. Measure and cut boards to size using a fine-tooth saw for clean edges. Use appropriate adhesive and fixings (nails or screws) suitable for skirting boards. Ensure the wall surface is clean, dry, and free of debris. After installation, lightly sand the primed surface, wipe away dust, and apply your chosen paint. Allow adequate drying time between coats as per paint manufacturer instructions.

Compatibility: This skirting board is compatible with most standard wall types (plasterboard, brick, plaster) when appropriate fixings are used. It is designed to fit standard flooring solutions and can be used in conjunction with most types of paint and finishes.

Care: Clean the skirting board with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or excessive moisture. For best results, maintain a consistent room temperature and humidity level.
