Specifications
| Material | MDF (Medium Density Fibreboard) |
|---|---|
| Finish | White primed, ready for top coat |
| Profile | Shaker grooved |
| Nominal Sizes | 18mm x 68mm (3 inch); 18mm x 144mm (6 inch) |
| Length | 4.4m (4400mm) |
| Treatment | Moisture resistant MDF |
What it's used for
- Skirting boards along wall bases in living rooms, hallways, and bedrooms where a Shaker or contemporary look is required
- Architrave around door frames and window openings to give a neat, consistent finish throughout a property
- New build housing where a primed, knot-free board speeds up the decorating schedule
- Kitchen and bathroom installations where moisture-resistant MDF offers better durability than standard board
Fitting and handling
Allow the boards to acclimatise in the room for at least 24 to 48 hours before fixing, particularly in rooms with underfloor heating, to reduce any movement after installation. Fix skirting using a combination of adhesive and cut nails or a nail gun, ensuring boards are pulled tight to the wall before securing. Once fitted, apply one or two coats of your chosen water-based or oil-based topcoat paint directly over the white primer for a smooth, uniform finish.
FAQ
Can this MDF skirting be used in a bathroom?
Yes. This skirting and architrave is made from moisture-resistant MDF, which makes it a suitable choice for bathrooms and kitchens. Sealing all cut ends with a primer or sealant before fitting will further improve its resistance to humidity.
Do I need to sand it before painting?
Because it arrives white primed, you can apply a topcoat directly in most cases. A light rub with fine-grade sandpaper between coats will give the sharpest finish, but no heavy preparation is needed before the first coat.
What is the difference between the 68mm and 144mm sizes?
The 68mm (3 inch) board suits standard-height skirting in modern properties and works well as architrave around door frames. The 144mm (6 inch) board is better where taller skirting is wanted, such as in rooms with higher ceilings or where a more traditional proportion is preferred.
