FAQs
What is the primary material of this skirting board?
The skirting board is constructed from moisture-resistant MDF (Medium-Density Fibreboard).
Does the skirting board come painted?
No, it comes with a white primed finish, ready for you to paint or gloss in your desired color.
What are the exact dimensions of the skirting board?
The dimensions are 18mm thickness, 220mm height, and 3040mm length.
Is this skirting board suitable for bathrooms or kitchens?
It is moisture-resistant, making it more suitable than standard MDF for areas with minor humidity, but it is not waterproof. Ensure it is properly sealed with paint, especially in very damp environments.
How should I prepare the surface before painting?
Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and smooth. Fill any nail holes or imperfections with wood filler, sand smooth, and apply a suitable primer if necessary before your top coat.
Where is this product manufactured?
This skirting board is manufactured in the UK.
Can I get longer lengths than 3.04m?
This specific product variant is offered in a 3.04m length. Please check with the retailer for other available lengths or variants.
Troubleshooting
Skirting board does not adhere well to the wall.
Ensure the wall surface is clean, dry, and free from dust or grease. Use an appropriate adhesive or sufficient fixing points (nails/screws) spaced correctly.
Visible joints or gaps between boards.
Ensure precise cuts were made. Use wood filler to fill small gaps, allowing it to dry completely before sanding smooth and painting. For larger gaps, re-cutting may be necessary.
Paint finish appears uneven or blotchy.
Ensure adequate primer has been applied and allowed to dry. Apply paint in thin, even coats, allowing each coat to dry thoroughly before applying the next. Sand lightly between coats if necessary.
MDF edges are chipping during cutting.
Use a sharp, fine-toothed saw blade. Cut slowly and steadily, supporting the board to prevent vibration. Consider using a mitre box for precise angled cuts.
