FAQs

What type of paint should I use on this skirting board?

You can use any standard interior emulsion, satin, or gloss paint. For best results, apply a primer if needed after initial sanding, followed by two coats of your chosen topcoat.

Is this skirting board suitable for a bathroom?

While the MDF is moisture-resistant, it is not waterproof. For bathrooms, it is crucial to ensure thorough sealing and finishing with a water-resistant paint or gloss to protect against high humidity and potential splashes.

How long is each skirting board?

Each skirting board measures 3040mm, which is approximately 3.04 meters or just over 10 feet in length.

What is the profile of the 'Paris' skirting board?

The 'Paris' profile is an elegant, classic design that adds a decorative touch to the top edge of the skirting board. Specific profile dimensions are not detailed but it is designed to be a refined, traditional style.

Can I use this skirting board with underfloor heating?

Yes, this skirting board is generally compatible with underfloor heating systems. However, ensure proper installation techniques and adequate expansion gaps are considered to prevent issues related to heat expansion.

What is the thickness and height of the board?

The skirting board has a thickness of 18mm and a height of 95mm.

Troubleshooting

Board is difficult to cut cleanly.

Use a sharp, fine-tooth saw. Consider a mitre saw for precise angled cuts. Ensure the board is securely held while cutting.

Primed surface is uneven after painting.

Lightly sand the primed surface before painting. Ensure paint is applied evenly in thin coats. Allow adequate drying time between coats.

Skirting board is warping.

Ensure the installation environment is dry. If moisture is suspected, ensure adequate sealing and ventilation. Check adhesive/fixing method for proper support.

Visible joints after installation.

Ensure accurate mitre cuts for corners. Use a fine-toothed saw for precise cuts. Fill and sand any minor gaps before finishing.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup:

  1. Preparation: Ensure walls and floors are clean, dry, and level before installation.
  2. Cutting: Measure and cut boards to the required lengths using a fine-tooth saw for clean edges. Mitre cuts are recommended for corners.
  3. Adhesive/Fixing: Apply a suitable wood adhesive to the back of the skirting board or use nails/screws. Ensure fixings are appropriate for the wall type.
  4. Finishing: Once installed, fill any nail holes or gaps with a suitable filler. Lightly sand the entire surface if necessary.
  5. Painting/Priming: Apply your chosen paint or gloss. It is recommended to apply at least two coats for an even finish, allowing adequate drying time between coats.

Compatibility:

  • Compatible with most standard wall types (plasterboard, brick, concrete) when appropriate fixings are used.
  • Suitable for use with various flooring types, including carpet, laminate, wood, and tile.

Care:

  • Clean with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or excessive moisture.
  • Wipe up any spills immediately.
  • Regularly check for any signs of damage or wear, especially in high-traffic areas.
