FAQs
Does this board come pre-painted?
No, it comes with a primed finish. This acts as an undercoat that must be painted over with your preferred color.
Can I use this in a bathroom?
This product is designed for general home interior use. If installing in a bathroom, ensure it is properly sealed and painted with a moisture-resistant paint.
What tools do I need to install this?
You will need a saw (a mitre saw is recommended for corners), a tape measure, adhesive or a hammer and nails, and wood filler.
Is the white finish the final color?
The white primer is intended as a base coat. It is recommended to apply a final coat of paint to achieve a consistent color and high-quality finish.
How do I cut the corners?
To get a clean finish, you should cut both adjoining boards at 45-degree angles using a mitre box or power mitre saw.
Troubleshooting
Visible gaps at joints
Use a wood filler specifically designed for skirting boards, sand the area until smooth, and touch up with paint.
Paint not sticking to the primer
Ensure the surface is completely free of dust and debris; lightly sand the primer before applying the first coat of paint.
Board warping or bowing
Ensure the wall surface is level during installation and use a high-strength adhesive along the entire length of the board.
Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation requires basic carpentry skills, including measuring, mitre-cutting for corners, and secure fastening. Use a high-quality grab adhesive or wood screws to attach the boards to the wall studs. For the best results, use a fine-tooth saw to cut the boards to size, ensuring all corners are mitred at 45-degree angles for a seamless look. After installation, fill any visible screw holes or gaps with wood filler, sand lightly, and apply two coats of your chosen decorative paint. Maintenance is simple: wipe down with a slightly damp cloth to remove dust. Avoid using abrasive cleaning agents that could scratch the paint surface.
