National Skirting Edge I MDF Skirting Board - White

The board measures 18mm in thickness, 140mm in height, and 3040mm in length.

The finish is a white primer, which is typically matte. It is designed to be painted over, allowing you to achieve either a matte, satin, or gloss finish depending on your chosen topcoat.

While made from moisture-resistant MDF, it is recommended to apply additional protective coatings or paints suitable for high-humidity environments if installing in a bathroom to ensure long-term durability.

Clean the surface with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive scrubbers, which can damage the finish.

The board comes pre-primed, but for optimal results, especially if painting a very dark color or aiming for a flawless finish, a light sanding and an additional coat of primer may be beneficial.

A fine-toothed saw, such as a hand saw with fine teeth, a jigsaw with a fine-tooth blade, or a mitre saw, is recommended for clean cuts in MDF.

Ensure precise mitre cuts at all corners and for any joins on long walls. Use a good quality wood filler to fill any small gaps after installation, then sand smooth and paint.

Ensure you are using a sharp saw blade designed for MDF. Make a scoring cut first, then follow with the main cut.

Ensure surfaces are clean, dry, and free from dust. Use a high-quality adhesive suitable for MDF and the wall type. Allow adequate drying time.

Ensure the board was adequately primed and sanded before painting. Apply paint in thin, even coats, allowing each to dry thoroughly.

Ensure the board was properly sealed and painted on all surfaces, especially cut edges. Reapply sealant or a moisture-resistant topcoat if necessary.
