The National Skirting Lambs Tongue I skirting board is an ideal choice for homeowners and renovators seeking a versatile, classic-to-contemporary trim to finish their interior spaces. Its primary benefit is a smooth, elegant profile that integrates seamlessly into both heritage and modern architectural styles, providing a professional transition between floors and walls. Note that because the boards arrive with a white primed finish, you must factor in the time and materials required for a final topcoat application to match your specific interior design scheme.

While it comes pre-primed, a light 'keying' with fine-grit sandpaper is recommended to ensure the best adhesion for your final topcoat.
While durable, standard timber skirting should be thoroughly sealed with high-quality, water-resistant paint if installed in bathrooms to prevent moisture absorption.
Any high-quality interior wood paint, such as water-based gloss, satin, or semi-gloss, will work effectively on the primed surface.
No, it features a specific profile with a curved top section and a flat base, designed to be installed in one specific orientation.
Measure the total perimeter of your room and add 10-15% to account for cutting waste and mitre angles.
Check that the mitre saw is set accurately to 45 degrees and use a wood-safe filler to bridge small gaps before final painting.
Use a nail punch to recess the heads below the surface, then fill with an appropriate wood filler and sand smooth before painting.
Installation requires standard carpentry tools including a mitre saw for precise corner joints, construction adhesive, and finishing nails or a pneumatic nail gun. Before installation, ensure your walls are clean, dry, and free of debris. To attach, apply a high-strength panel adhesive to the back of the board and secure it with nails into the wall studs. Once installed, fill the nail holes with wood filler, sand them smooth, and apply your final topcoat of paint. For long-term care, wipe the boards down with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust. If the surface is scuffed, a light sanding and a touch-up coat of paint will restore the finish.
