What it's used for
- Skirting boards fitted at floor level to cover the joint between wall plaster and flooring in living rooms, bedrooms, hallways, and landing areas.
- Architrave sets fitted around internal door frames and window reveals to give a neat, finished appearance to openings.
- Replacement skirting and architrave in renovation projects where a uniform, knot-free profile is needed throughout.
- New-build finishing work where a consistent primed board speeds up the painting schedule across multiple rooms.
Fitting and handling
Allow the boards to acclimatise in the room where they will be fitted for at least 24 hours before cutting and fixing. Fix to timber studwork or masonry using a combination of grab adhesive and lost-head nails, punching nail heads below the surface and filling before applying the top coat. Store boards flat and off the ground, away from direct moisture, to keep them straight and ready for use.
FAQ
Can white primed MDF skirting be used in a bathroom or kitchen?
MDF is not naturally moisture resistant, so in high-humidity areas such as bathrooms and kitchens it is advisable to seal all cut ends and the back face thoroughly with a suitable primer or sealant before fitting, and to ensure the room has adequate ventilation. For consistently wet areas, a moisture-resistant MDF grade would be a more suitable choice.
Does white primed MDF skirting need sanding before painting?
The boards arrive with a factory-applied white primer, which provides a good base for most interior emulsions and satinwood paints. A light sand with 120-grit paper before top-coating will improve adhesion and give a smoother final finish, particularly on cut edges.
What is the difference between the 4.2m and 4.4m lengths?
Both lengths carry the same 18mm x 68mm chamfered and rounded profile. The 4.2m length is priced slightly lower and may suit shorter wall runs or rooms where less waste is generated. The 4.4m length is useful for longer continuous runs and helps reduce the number of joints needed.
