FAQs
What tools do I need?
You'll need a measuring tape, saw, hammer or screw driver, fixings (nails, screws, or adhesive), and finishing supplies (paint, varnish, brushes, etc.).
Can I use this skirting board outdoors?
This product is primarily designed for indoor use. While it can be used outdoors, it will require specific treatments and finishes appropriate for exterior applications.
How do I cut the skirting board?
Use a saw, such as a hand saw or a mitre saw, to cut the board to your required dimensions. Ensure clean, straight cuts for a professional finish.
What type of fixings should I use?
The type of fixings will depend on your application. Nails or screws are common choices. Consider using a construction adhesive for extra security and ease of use.
How do I prepare the wood for painting?
Sand the wood surface lightly to create a smooth surface, then wipe away any dust. Apply a primer before painting for better adhesion and a more durable finish.

Use a damp cloth to wipe down the surface. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners that could damage the finish.
Troubleshooting
Skirting board not fitting correctly.
Double-check measurements and ensure cuts are accurate. Adjust the fit as needed using a plane or sandpaper.

Ensure the wood surface is clean and dry before applying the finish. Apply multiple thin coats, allowing each coat to dry completely.

Pre-drill pilot holes before inserting screws or nails to prevent splitting. Use the correct size and type of fixings.
