FAQs
Is this skirting board suitable for a bathroom?
Yes, the moisture-resistant MDF construction makes it an excellent choice for bathrooms and other damp areas.
What is the best way to finish the primed surface?
It is recommended to use a good quality primer followed by at least two coats of your chosen paint or gloss. Ensure all surfaces, including cut ends, are fully sealed for maximum protection.
How should I clean the skirting board?
Wipe with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaning materials.
Can I use this skirting board with underfloor heating?
Yes, it is generally compatible with underfloor heating systems, but always refer to the specific installation guidelines for your heating system.
What are the dimensions of the skirting board?
Each board is 18mm thick, 95mm wide, and 3040mm (3.04 meters) long.
Is the wood sustainably sourced?
Yes, the product is made from FSC-certified wood sourced from responsibly managed forests.
How do I install the skirting board?
Installation typically involves cutting to size, finishing with paint, and then fixing to the wall using adhesive, nails, or screws. Always follow best practices for your chosen fixing method.
Troubleshooting
Board does not adhere well to the wall.
Ensure the wall surface is properly prepared (clean, dry, and even). Use a high-quality adhesive suitable for MDF and the wall type, and consider using temporary supports to hold the board in place while the adhesive cures.
Paint finish is uneven or peeling.
Ensure the surface was properly primed and sanded before painting. Apply thin, even coats of paint and allow adequate drying time between coats. Check that the paint used is compatible with MDF and the primer.
Edges chip during cutting.
Use a sharp, fine-tooth saw blade specifically designed for cutting MDF. Support the board firmly while cutting and consider using a guide to ensure a straight cut.
Board swells or warps in humid conditions.
While moisture-resistant, extreme or prolonged exposure to high humidity can still affect MDF. Ensure the board is properly sealed with paint, especially on cut ends. If the issue persists, investigate the source of excessive moisture.
