FAQs
What tools do I need for installation?
You'll need a saw, measuring tape, pencil, adhesive (or nails/screws), hammer (if using nails), wood filler, sandpaper, primer, and paint/stain.
Can I paint the skirting board?
Yes, you can paint the skirting board. Ensure the surface is properly primed and sanded before applying paint.
How do I cut the skirting board at an angle?
Use a mitre saw or a mitre box with a hand saw to cut angles for corners.
What type of adhesive should I use?

Kiln-dried wood is less prone to warping. Store the boards in a dry place before installation, and avoid exposing them to extreme temperature or humidity changes.
Is this skirting board suitable for bathrooms?
While suitable for most rooms, consider the moisture levels. Apply a moisture-resistant finish if used in bathrooms.
