What it's used for
- Skirting boards along the base of walls in living rooms, bedrooms, hallways and landings
- Architrave to frame door and window openings for a neat, finished appearance
- Bathroom and kitchen installations where some resistance to moisture is required
- Renovation and new-build projects where a consistent, knot-free surface is needed for a smooth painted finish
Fitting and handling
Store lengths flat or supported fully along their length to prevent bowing, and allow the boards to acclimatise in the room for 24 to 48 hours before fixing. These boards are designed to be fitted using a suitable instant grab adhesive, with lost-head nails or a nail gun used at corners and joins for additional security. Once fitted, apply one or two coats of your chosen water-based or solvent-based topcoat paint directly over the factory primer, lightly sanding between coats for the best result.
FAQ
Is MDF ovolo skirting suitable for bathrooms?
Yes. These boards are made from moisture resistant MDF, which makes them more tolerant of humidity than standard MDF. They are commonly used in bathrooms and kitchens. Good ventilation and a well-applied paint finish will help prolong their service life in damp areas.
Do I need to sand or prime the boards before painting?
The boards arrive factory primed, so in most cases you can apply a topcoat directly. A light sand with fine-grit paper before painting will give the smoothest result, particularly if the boards have been handled or stored where the surface may have picked up dust.
What size ovolo skirting should I choose?
The 68mm (3 inch) width suits rooms with lower ceilings or a more understated finish. The 119mm and 144mm widths are popular for standard residential rooms, while the 168mm (7 inch) option suits period properties or rooms with high ceilings where a more substantial profile is appropriate.
