FAQs

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

You can use most types of interior paint, including water-based emulsions, acrylics, or oil-based gloss paints. Ensure the surface is properly primed and clean for best results.

Is this skirting board suitable for bathrooms or kitchens?

While made from moisture-resistant MDF, it is not waterproof. It is best suited for general living areas, bedrooms, and hallways. For high-moisture areas like bathrooms and kitchens, consider materials specifically designed for those environments.

How do I clean the skirting board once installed and painted?

Clean gently with a soft cloth slightly dampened with water. Avoid harsh chemicals or excessive moisture, which could damage the paint finish or the MDF.

Can I use this skirting board with underfloor heating?

Yes, it is generally compatible with underfloor heating systems. However, ensure proper installation techniques are followed to allow for natural expansion and contraction.

What is the thickness and height of the skirting board?

The skirting board is 18mm thick and 70mm high.

How long is each piece of skirting board?

Each board is 3040mm (approximately 3.04 meters) long.

Does the skirting board come in other colors?

This specific product is primed white and ready for painting. Please refer to the brand for other available finishes or colors.

Troubleshooting

Board does not cut cleanly.

Ensure you are using a sharp, fine-toothed saw blade specifically designed for MDF or wood. Make multiple shallow passes rather than one deep cut.

Paint finish is uneven.

Ensure the board surface is clean and dust-free before painting. Apply thin, even coats and allow proper drying time between applications. A primer specifically for MDF may improve adhesion and finish.

Board does not adhere well to the wall.

Ensure the wall surface is clean, dry, and free from dust or grease. Use a high-quality skirting board adhesive or appropriate fixings, following manufacturer instructions.

Visible gaps at corners or joins.

Re-cut mitred joints for a tighter fit. For minor gaps after installation, use a suitable wood filler or decorators caulk, then sand and repaint.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Acclimatization: Allow the skirting boards to acclimatize to the room's temperature and humidity for at least 24-48 hours before installation.
  2. Cutting: Cut boards to the required lengths using a fine-toothed saw for clean edges. Mitre cuts are recommended for internal and external corners.
  3. Finishing: Apply your chosen paint or gloss. Two coats are typically recommended for a smooth, even finish. Allow adequate drying time between coats.
  4. Installation: Fix the boards to the wall using appropriate adhesive, nails, or screws, ensuring they are level and securely attached.
