Specifications
| Property | Detail |
|---|---|
| Material | MDF (medium density fibreboard) |
| Finish | White primed, ready for top coat |
| Profile | Torus |
| Length | 4.4m (4400mm) |
| Nominal sizes | 18mm x 68mm, 18mm x 119mm, 18mm x 144mm, 18mm x 168mm |

What it's used for
- Skirting boards along the base of internal walls in living rooms, hallways, and bedrooms
- Architrave sets around door frames and window openings to conceal the gap between the lining and the plaster
- Replacement mouldings in period properties where the torus profile matches existing joinery
- New build interiors where a painted finish is specified throughout
Fitting and handling
Allow lengths to acclimatise inside the property for at least 24 hours before fitting, particularly in rooms with underfloor heating or variable humidity. Fix with an appropriate grab adhesive and lost-head nails or a finish nailer, then fill nail holes and apply your chosen top coat. Store flat and off the ground to prevent any bowing before installation.
FAQ
Is torus MDF skirting suitable for use in bathrooms and kitchens?
MDF can be used in rooms with moderate humidity provided it is fully painted on all faces and edges, including the back and the cut ends, to limit moisture ingress. For areas with frequent standing water or steam, a solid moisture-resistant board with a sealed finish is a more cautious choice.
What is the difference between the 3 inch and 5 inch skirting boards?
The 68mm (3 inch) board suits rooms with low ceiling heights or a minimal look, while the 119mm (5 inch) board is a more traditional height commonly used in Victorian and Edwardian-style interiors. The 144mm and 168mm sizes suit high-ceilinged rooms or where a more substantial profile is wanted.
Does this skirting need sanding before painting?
The board arrives with a factory primer coat applied. A light sand with 180-grit paper is recommended to key the surface before applying your first top coat, which helps the paint adhere evenly and gives a cleaner finished result.
