Full details

This Primed Skirting Board from National Skirting's Oslo series is designed for homeowners looking to add a touch of elegance and durability to their interior spaces.

FAQs

What is the primary benefit of the moisture-resistant MDF?

The moisture-resistant MDF offers enhanced durability and stability, making the skirting board more resilient to fluctuations in humidity compared to standard MDF, thus prolonging its lifespan.

Does this skirting board come in a finished color?

No, this skirting board comes with a white primed finish. It is designed to be painted or glossed to match your desired interior color scheme.

Can I use this skirting board in a bathroom?

While it has moisture-resistant properties, it is not waterproof. For areas with high humidity or direct water splash, additional sealing and maintenance would be required, and it's recommended to use appropriate ventilation.

What tools do I need for installation?

You will need a tape measure, pencil, fine-toothed saw, mitre box (for angles), adhesive suitable for MDF and walls, a spirit level, and optionally nails or screws, hammer/nail gun, and filler.

How should I clean the skirting board after painting?

After painting and drying, clean the skirting board with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid abrasive materials or strong cleaning agents to preserve the paint finish.

Is the curved edge design suitable for all room types?

Yes, the curved edge design is versatile and complements both modern and traditional interior styles, adding a softened and elegant touch to any room.

What is the warranty period for this product?

Please refer to the retailer's specific warranty information for details on the coverage period and terms, as this can vary.

Troubleshooting

Skirting board not adhering to the wall

Ensure the wall surface is clean, dry, and free from dust or grease. Reapply adhesive, ensuring even coverage, and consider using additional fixings like nails or screws for support while the adhesive cures.

Cracking or splitting during cutting

Use a sharp, fine-toothed saw. Ensure the board is securely supported while cutting and avoid applying excessive pressure. Slow, steady cuts are recommended.

Paint finish is uneven

Ensure the primed surface is smooth before painting. Lightly sand any rough spots. Apply paint in thin, even coats, allowing each coat to dry fully before applying the next. Stir paint thoroughly before use.

Moisture damage apparent

While moisture-resistant, prolonged exposure to high humidity or direct water contact should be avoided. Ensure adequate ventilation and address any sources of excessive moisture. Re-seal any damaged areas with appropriate primer and paint.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Acclimatization: Allow the skirting boards to acclimatize to room conditions for at least 48 hours before installation.
  2. Cutting: Use a fine-toothed saw for clean cuts. Measure carefully and use a mitre box for accurate corner joints.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
