FAQs
What type of paint should I use on this skirting board?
You can use any quality interior paint suitable for MDF. Water-based or oil-based paints are generally recommended. Ensure the board is properly primed before painting for best results.
Is this skirting board suitable for bathrooms or kitchens?
While the MDF is moisture-resistant, it is not waterproof. For very damp environments like bathrooms or kitchens, it is advisable to apply additional sealant or a high-quality moisture-resistant paint for maximum protection.
How do I cut the skirting board accurately?
Use a sharp, fine-toothed handsaw or a power mitre saw. Measure carefully and make clean, straight cuts for a professional finish. Always wear safety glasses when cutting.
What are the exact dimensions of the skirting board?
The skirting board has dimensions of Height: 120mm, Length: 3040mm (approximately 3.04m), and Thickness: 18mm.
Can I install this skirting board myself?
Yes, with basic DIY skills and tools, this skirting board can be installed by homeowners. Ensure you have the correct adhesive, fixings, and cutting tools.
Does the skirting board come in other colours?
This specific product is described as having a primed white finish, ready for painting. Other colour options or finishes may be available from the manufacturer under different product codes.
Troubleshooting
Board not adhering to the wall
Ensure the wall surface is clean, dry, and free of dust. Use an appropriate wood adhesive and sufficient fixings (nails/pins). Check that the wall is relatively flat.
Paint finish is uneven
Ensure the board was properly primed before painting. Apply thin, even coats of paint and allow adequate drying time between applications. Lightly sand with fine-grit sandpaper between coats if necessary.
Visible joins between boards
Use a fine-toothed saw for clean cuts. Apply wood filler to any gaps after installation and sand smooth before painting for a seamless appearance.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
Before installation, ensure the skirting boards are acclimated to room temperature. Measure and cut boards to the required lengths using a fine-toothed saw for clean edges. Apply wood adhesive to the back of the skirting board or directly to the wall, and secure using nails or pins. Ensure boards are level and firmly pressed against the wall.
Compatibility:
This skirting board is compatible with most standard wall and flooring types. It is designed for interior use. For optimal results, ensure the wall surface is clean, dry, and free from major imperfections before installation.
Care:
Clean with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or excessive moisture, as this can damage the finish or the MDF material. The primed surface is ready for painting; use a quality primer and paint suitable for MDF. Allow paint to dry thoroughly between coats.
