How should I store the skirting boards before installation?
Store them flat in a dry, stable environment away from direct sunlight or extreme temperature fluctuations to prevent warping.
Is this skirting board suitable for bathrooms or kitchens?
While it can be used, Redwood Pine requires thorough sealing and protection against moisture, especially in high-humidity areas like bathrooms and kitchens. Consider additional protective finishes.
Troubleshooting
Wood appears warped or bowed
Ensure the wood has been properly acclimatized to the room's environment before installation. Check that fixing is secure and even along the length. Significant warping may indicate improper storage or installation conditions.
Difficulty achieving clean cuts
Use a sharp, fine-tooth saw. Consider using a mitre box or a powered mitre saw for precise, clean angles, especially for corners.
Finish does not adhere properly
Ensure the wood surface is clean, dry, and free from dust or grease. Lightly sand the surface before applying paint, varnish, or stain to create a better bond.
Gaps between skirting and wall/floor
Ensure walls and floors are reasonably flat. Small gaps can be filled with a suitable wood filler or caulk after installation and before finishing.
