Product Information
Full details
The National Skirting Ogee White Primed Skirting Board is designed for homeowners and contractors looking to add a polished, traditional finish to interior spaces while protecting wall edges from everyday wear. Its primary benefit is the moisture-resistant MDF construction paired with a pre-primed surface that significantly reduces installation time. However, users should note that as a pre-primed product, it requires a final top coat of paint or gloss to achieve a perfect, scuff-resistant finish in high-traffic areas.

FAQs
Can this skirting board be used in a bathroom?
Yes, the moisture-resistant MDF is suitable for bathrooms, but ensure all cut edges are properly sealed with paint or sealant to prevent moisture ingress.
Do I need to sand the boards before painting?
A light scuff-sand with fine-grit sandpaper is recommended to ensure the best possible adhesion for your top coat.
What is the best way to cut these boards?
A miter saw is the most effective tool for clean, accurate cuts at internal and external corners.
How should I fix the skirting to the wall?
You can use a combination of grab adhesive and pin nails for a secure, long-lasting installation.
Are these boards supplied in other colors?
This series is supplied in a pre-primed white finish, intended for you to paint in your preferred color.
Troubleshooting
Visible joints between boards
Ensure ends are cut perfectly square and use a high-quality wood filler before applying the final top coat.
Board warping or bowing
Ensure the wall surface is level; use additional adhesive or fixings in areas where the wall bows to pull the board flush.
Paint finish appears uneven
Lightly sand the pre-primed surface with fine-grit sandpaper (240-grit) before applying the first top coat to ensure proper adhesion.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Durable moisture-resistant MDF construction
- Pre-primed surface saves preparation time
- Classic decorative profile suitable for various decor styles
- Generous 4.2m length reduces visible joints
Cons
- Requires a final top coat of paint for full protection
- Length may be difficult to transport in smaller vehicles
- Not suitable for external weather-exposed applications
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation is straightforward and can be achieved using grab adhesive for a cleaner look or traditional mechanical fixings like panel pins or screws. If using screws, ensure they are countersunk and filled with an appropriate wood filler before painting. For corners, a miter joint or a scribe joint is recommended for the most professional result.
Regarding care, while the moisture-resistant MDF is robust, avoid saturating the skirting with excessive water during floor cleaning. If the board becomes scuffed or chipped over time, simply sand the affected area lightly, re-prime if necessary, and touch up with your matching top coat to restore the finish.
