Product Information

Full details

The National Skirting Edge I MDF Skirting Board in White is designed for homeowners seeking to add a refined and polished look to their interiors. Its primary benefit lies in its unique profile with both inward and outer curves, offering a distinctive aesthetic that elevates any room. A potential caveat is that, like all MDF, it requires proper sealing and painting to ensure moisture resistance is fully effective in high-humidity areas.

FAQs

What are the exact dimensions of the Edge I skirting board?

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

Is the white finish glossy or matte?

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.

Can this skirting board be used in a bathroom?

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.

How should I clean the skirting board?

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

Do I need to prime this board before painting?

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.

What type of saw is best for cutting MDF skirting?

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.

How do I achieve a seamless look with multiple boards?

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.

Troubleshooting

Board is difficult to cut cleanly

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

Adhesive is not holding the board securely

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.

Paint finish looks uneven or blotchy

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

Appearance of moisture damage after installation

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

Pros and Cons

  • Moisture-resistant MDF provides enhanced durability compared to standard particleboard.
  • The primed finish simplifies the painting and customization process.
  • Consistent quality ensures a professional and seamless installation.
  • Suitable for a wide range of interior design styles.

Cons

  • Requires painting or sealing to achieve full moisture resistance.
  • MDF can be heavier and more difficult to cut than solid wood.
  • May not be suitable for extremely wet environments without additional protective coatings.
  • Requires precise measuring and cutting for a perfect fit.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Acclimatization: Allow the boards to acclimatize to the room's environment for at least 48 hours before installation.
  2. Cutting: Measure and cut boards to size using a sharp saw. Mitre cuts are recommended for corners.
  3. Installation: Attach boards to the wall using appropriate adhesive, nails, or screws, ensuring they are level and flush.
  4. Finishing: Apply primer if desired, then paint or gloss to your chosen color. Ensure all cut edges and surfaces are fully coated.

Compatibility:

This skirting board is compatible with most standard wall surfaces, including plaster, drywall, and brickwork, when appropriate fixings are used. It is designed to be painted with standard emulsion paints, gloss paints, or lacquers.

Care:

Clean with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or excessive moisture. For high-traffic areas or potential moisture exposure, consider applying an additional sealant or protective coating.
