FAQs

Is the MDF moisture-resistant?

Yes, this board is manufactured from moisture-resistant MDF, making it suitable for most rooms in the house.

Can I install this in a bathroom?

While the board is moisture-resistant, it is not waterproof. Avoid direct water contact and ensure the room is well-ventilated.

Do I need to prime these before painting?

No, the product comes pre-primed. You can apply your final coat of paint or gloss directly onto the boards.

How should I join the boards at corners?

The best result is achieved by mitering the corners at 45-degree angles for a professional, seamless look.

What is the best way to fix these to the wall?

Use a high-quality grab adhesive supplemented with pin nails to hold the board firmly while the adhesive sets.

Troubleshooting

Visible gaps between wall and skirting

Use a flexible decorators caulk to fill gaps where the board meets an uneven wall surface before painting.

Board edges splintering during cuts

Ensure you are using a sharp, high-tooth-count blade and consider applying masking tape over the cut line before sawing.

Paint not adhering to the surface

Lightly sand the pre-primed surface with fine-grit sandpaper (240 grit) to create a key for the paint and wipe away all dust before painting.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Durable moisture-resistant MDF construction
  • Pre-primed surface saves time on preparation
  • Elegant design suitable for various decor styles
  • Long 4200mm lengths minimize the need for unsightly joints

Cons

  • Requires a final coat of paint or gloss
  • Heavy profile may require careful handling during transport
  • MDF material can be prone to chipping if cut with blunt tools

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To install, ensure your walls are clean, dry, and level. The boards can be fixed using a combination of high-strength adhesive and hidden mechanical fasteners, such as pin nails, to minimize visible markings.

When cutting, use a fine-tooth saw to prevent splintering the MDF core. For care, wipe the surfaces with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust. If the boards are marked, a damp cloth is generally sufficient for cleaning, but avoid soaking the material. Always ensure the final paint layer is applied as soon as possible after installation to seal the edges and protect the pre-primed surface.
