FAQs

Is this skirting board suitable for a bathroom?

Yes, the National Skirting White Stockholm Primed Skirting Board is specifically designed with moisture-resistant MDF, making it ideal for bathrooms and other humid environments.

Do I need to prime this board before painting?

The board comes with a white primed finish, which is ready for your chosen topcoat of paint or gloss. However, for maximum durability and a flawless finish, you may wish to apply an additional coat of primer or a specific MDF primer.

What is the length of each skirting board?

Each skirting board in the Stockholm range measures 3040mm, which is approximately 3.04 meters or 10 feet.

What material is this skirting board made from?

It is made from durable, moisture-resistant MDF (Medium-Density Fibreboard) sourced from FSC-certified forests.

Can I paint this skirting board a different colour?

Absolutely. The primed white finish is a perfect base for any paint colour or gloss finish you wish to apply to match your interior decor.

How do I clean the skirting board?

Clean with a soft, slightly damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaning pads, as these can damage the finish.

What are the dimensions of this skirting board?

The dimensions are 18mm thickness by 170mm height and 3040mm length.

Troubleshooting

Paint not adhering properly

Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free from dust or grease before painting. Lightly sand the primed surface if it feels too smooth, and use a primer specifically designed for MDF if needed.

Board bowing or warping

This is uncommon with this moisture-resistant MDF. Ensure the board is adequately fixed to the wall at regular intervals and that ambient moisture levels are not excessively high. Proper sealing with paint is crucial.

Visible joins between boards

Use a fine-toothed saw for precise cuts. Apply a suitable wood filler or caulk to fill any small gaps, then sand smooth before painting for a seamless finish.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup:

  1. Preparation: Ensure walls are clean, dry, and free from dust before installation.
  2. Cutting: Cut the skirting board to the required lengths using a fine-toothed saw for clean edges.
  3. Fixing: Secure the skirting board to the wall using appropriate adhesives or nails/screws. For best results, use a combination of adhesive and mechanical fixings.
  4. Finishing: Once installed, apply your chosen paint or gloss finish. Two coats are recommended for optimal coverage and protection, especially in high-moisture areas. Allow adequate drying time between coats.

Compatibility:

  • Compatible with most standard wall types (plasterboard, plaster, brick).
  • Suitable for use with underfloor heating systems, provided proper installation techniques are followed to avoid thermal expansion issues.

Care:

  • Clean with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or excessive water.
  • Wipe up spills immediately to prevent moisture absorption.
  • Regularly inspect painted surfaces for any signs of damage or wear, touching up as needed.
