Full details
The Ogee Skirting Board is ideal for homeowners and DIY enthusiasts looking to add a classic, decorative finish to their interior spaces. Its primary benefit is the elegant, timeless profile that bridges the gap between walls and flooring while providing a durable edge. Please note that while the boards come primed in white, they require a final topcoat of paint to achieve a polished, long-lasting aesthetic that matches your specific wall color or trim style.

FAQs
Can these boards be used in a bathroom?
It is not recommended for high-humidity areas as the wood material may swell or warp unless properly sealed with marine-grade paints.
Do I need to prime the board before painting?
No, the Ogee Skirting Board comes factory-primed and is ready for your chosen topcoat paint.
What type of paint should I use?
A high-quality oil-based or water-based interior wood paint, such as satin, eggshell, or gloss, will provide the best durability.
How do I join two pieces of skirting?
Use a scarf joint at an angle to overlap the boards, ensuring a seamless visual connection along long walls.
Can I install this on uneven walls?
Yes, flexible caulk is effective at filling gaps caused by slight wall irregularities after the board is fixed in place.
Troubleshooting
Board is uneven against the wall
Use a flexible decorators caulk to fill gaps between the wall and the top of the skirting board for a smooth look.
Paint is not adhering well
Lightly sand the surface with fine-grit sandpaper to remove dust or contaminants, then wipe clean before applying a secondary coat of high-quality wood primer.
Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install, ensure your walls are dry and clean. Use a high-quality wood adhesive and finish nails to secure the boards to the wall studs. For corners, use a miter saw to cut 45-degree angles for a seamless fit. When it comes to care, dust the skirting periodically with a soft cloth to maintain the finish. If the skirting sustains deep scratches or scuffs over time, you can easily touch up the area with a small amount of your original topcoat paint. Ensure you avoid direct contact with heavy, abrasive cleaning agents that could damage the paint surface.
