Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Acclimatization: Allow the skirting boards to acclimatize to room conditions for at least 48 hours before installation.
- Cutting: Use a fine-toothed saw for clean cuts. Measure carefully and use a mitre box for accurate corner joints.
- Fixing: Apply a suitable adhesive to the back of the skirting board and press firmly against the wall. For added security, use nails or screws, ensuring they are countersunk and filled.
- Finishing: Once adhesive is dry, fill any nail holes or gaps with wood filler. Sand smooth once dry. Apply your chosen paint or gloss finish, typically requiring two coats for optimal coverage and protection.
Compatibility:
This skirting board is compatible with most standard wall surfaces, including plasterboard, brick, and masonry. Ensure the wall is clean, dry, and free from dust before application.
Care:
Clean with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or excessive moisture. For stubborn marks, use a mild soap solution and wipe dry immediately.
