The National Skirting Primed Skirting Board in the Pencil Round series is an ideal choice for homeowners and renovators looking for a clean, professional finish to their wall-to-floor junctions. This moisture-resistant MDF board is designed to provide durable wall protection and gap concealment, making it perfect for both modern and traditional interiors. While the board arrives primed and ready for immediate customization, users should note that a final topcoat of paint or gloss is required to achieve a finished, protective surface.

While the boards are moisture-resistant, they are not waterproof. Ensure all edges and joints are sealed properly with silicone or paint to prevent moisture ingress.
The board comes pre-primed, but a very light scuff with fine-grit sandpaper can help the topcoat adhere more effectively.
You can use either high-quality water-based acrylic paint or oil-based gloss depending on your desired finish and durability requirements.
A standard mitre saw or a handsaw with a fine-tooth blade will provide the best results for clean, straight cuts.
The pencil round profile is a classic, understated look that does not collect as much dust as more intricate profiles, making it easier to clean.
Yes, but you will need to use a high-strength construction adhesive specifically rated for masonry or consider fixing timber battens first.
Use a flexible gap filler designed for wood and timber, then sand smooth before applying your final paint coat.
Countersink the nails slightly and cover with wood filler, then sand flush before painting.
To install, ensure your walls are clean, dry, and flat. Measure your wall lengths carefully and use a mitre saw to cut corners at 45-degree angles for a seamless join. Attach the boards using a high-quality construction adhesive or finish nails, ensuring they are level. Since these boards are pre-primed, you can apply your preferred acrylic paint or oil-based gloss directly to the surface once installed. For long-term care, simply wipe clean with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust. If the boards are scratched, they can be lightly sanded and spot-painted to restore their pristine finish.
