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.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Moisture-resistant material increases longevity.
  • Primed finish allows for easy customization to any color scheme.
  • Elegant profile enhances interior aesthetics.
  • Longer lengths reduce the number of joints needed.
  • Manufactured to high UK standards.

Cons

  • Requires painting or finishing before installation for final appearance.
  • MDF can be susceptible to damage from extreme moisture if not properly sealed.
  • 220mm height may be too tall for some rooms with lower ceilings.
  • Profiled design might not suit extremely minimalist interiors.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure the walls and floor edges are clean, dry, and level before installation.
  2. Acclimatize the skirting boards to the room environment for at least 48 hours before fitting.
  3. Cut boards to the required lengths using a fine-toothed saw for clean edges.
  4. Apply suitable adhesive or fixings (nails, screws) appropriate for MDF skirting and your wall type.
  5. For a seamless look, fill any nail holes and joints with a suitable wood filler, sand smooth once dry, and then apply primer if needed before painting.

Compatibility:

  • Compatible with most standard wall types (plasterboard, brick, plaster).
  • Suitable for use with most standard flooring types, including carpet, laminate, wood, and tile.
  • Designed to complement a wide range of interior design styles, from traditional to contemporary.

Care:

  • Clean regularly with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or excessive moisture.
  • If painting, use a high-quality primer and finish coat suitable for MDF. Ensure edges and cut ends are thoroughly sealed with paint to prevent moisture ingress.
  • Touch up any scuffs or damage promptly with matching paint.
