FAQs

Is this skirting board suitable for bathrooms?

Yes, it is specifically designed with moisture-resistant MDF, making it ideal for use in bathrooms and other high-humidity areas.

What kind of finish does it have?

The skirting board comes with a pristine white primed finish, ready for you to paint or apply your desired topcoat.

Can I paint this skirting board any color?

Yes, the primed surface is a perfect base for any color or finish you choose, including water-based or solvent-based paints.

How do I clean the skirting board?

Wipe it with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.

What are the dimensions of the skirting board?

The skirting board measures 18mm thick, 140mm high, and 3040mm (3.04m) in length.

What does FSC-certified mean?

FSC-certified indicates that the wood used in the MDF is sourced from responsibly managed forests, ensuring environmental sustainability.

How should I cut this MDF skirting board?

It is recommended to use a sharp, fine-tooth saw and cut slowly with firm support to minimize chipping. A mitre saw is ideal for precise angles.

Troubleshooting

Chipping during cutting

Use a fine-tooth blade on your saw. Ensure the board is firmly supported and cut slowly and deliberately. A scoring cut first can help prevent splintering.

Board not adhering firmly to the wall

Ensure the wall surface is clean, dry, and flat. Use an adequate amount of appropriate adhesive or ensure fixings are secure and properly spaced.

Visible seams between boards

Ensure precise mitre cuts where boards meet. Use wood filler to fill any small gaps, sand smooth, and prime before painting for a seamless appearance.

Primer coat appears uneven

Lightly sand the primed surface with fine-grit sandpaper before applying your chosen paint. Apply paint in thin, even coats for best results.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent moisture resistance for use in high-humidity areas.
  • Elegant, classic design adds aesthetic value to rooms.
  • Primed surface allows for easy customization with paint.
  • Sustainably sourced materials contribute to eco-friendly renovations.
  • Long length minimizes seams for a smooth finish.

Cons

  • MDF material requires careful handling during cutting to avoid chipping.
  • Requires painting or finishing to achieve the desired final look.
  • May be heavier than solid wood alternatives, requiring appropriate fixing methods.
  • Specific design might not suit extremely modern or minimalist interiors.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation:

  1. Preparation: Ensure walls are clean, dry, and free from dust. For optimal adhesion, the area where the skirting board will be fitted should be smooth.
  2. Cutting: Use a sharp saw, preferably a fine-tooth blade on a mitre saw for precise cuts. Due to the MDF material, support the board firmly and cut slowly to minimize chipping.
  3. Adhesive/Fixing: Apply a suitable adhesive designed for skirting boards to the back of the board, or use nails/screws appropriate for MDF. Ensure the board is level and firmly pressed against the wall.
  4. Finishing: Allow any adhesive to cure fully. Fill any nail holes or minor imperfections with wood filler. Once dry, sand lightly.

Compatibility:

  • Surfaces: Suitable for attachment to plaster, drywall, and brickwork using appropriate adhesives and fixings.
  • Finishes: Compatible with all types of water-based and solvent-based paints, primers, and varnishes.

Care:

  • Cleaning: Wipe clean with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or excessive moisture, as this can damage the primer or MDF.
  • Maintenance: Periodically check for any signs of wear and touch up paintwork as needed. Ensure good ventilation in moisture-prone areas to maintain the board's longevity.
