FAQs

Is this skirting board suitable for bathrooms?

It is moisture-resistant, making it more durable than standard MDF; however, it should not be installed in areas with direct water contact or extreme damp.

Can I use glue to install these boards?

Yes, high-strength construction adhesive is recommended, often used in combination with nails for a secure hold.

What kind of paint should I use?

You can use most standard interior wood paints, including gloss, satin, or eggshell finishes.

How do I cut the 4200mm boards?

A standard mitre saw or a handsaw with a mitre box works well for clean, accurate cuts.

Are these boards fire resistant?

These are made from standard moisture-resistant MDF and do not have specific fire-rated certifications.

Does the board come with fixings?

No, fixings such as nails or adhesive must be purchased separately.

Troubleshooting

Board is uneven against the wall

Use a scribe tool to trace the wall profile onto the back of the board, then plane the bottom edge to match the wall's contours.

Mitre joints are not closing properly

Check that the corner is a true 90 degrees; use a mitre block or compound mitre saw for more precise angles.

Paint finish looks uneven

Sand the pre-primed surface lightly with 240-grit sandpaper and remove all dust before applying the final topcoat.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Durable moisture-resistant construction
  • Ready for immediate top-coating
  • Matches both modern and traditional home styles
  • Easy to cut and install with standard wood-working tools

Cons

  • Requires final paint or gloss application
  • Fixed length of 4200mm may require careful transport
  • Not suitable for heavy wet areas without extra sealing

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before installation, ensure your walls are clean, dry, and flat. Measure your perimeter carefully, accounting for corners—use a mitre saw to cut 45-degree angles for tight, professional-looking joints. Because the product is pre-primed, you can use either water-based or oil-based paints; however, a light sanding with fine-grit sandpaper is recommended before applying your final coat to ensure optimal adhesion. To care for the skirting, simply wipe down with a damp cloth as needed. If cleaning scuffs, avoid harsh solvents that could damage the finish.
