FAQs

What is the trim made of?

The GoodHome DECOR10 Scotia trim is made from Medium Density Fibreboard (MDF).

How do I cut the trim?

Use a saw to cut the trim to the required length. A mitre saw will provide the most accurate cuts.

Can I paint the trim?

Yes, you can paint the trim to match your decor. Ensure you use a paint suitable for MDF.

What is the best way to attach the trim?

The trim can be attached using adhesive, nails, or staples. Choose the method that best suits your needs and the materials being used.

Can this trim be used in wet areas?

While the MDF is durable, avoid prolonged exposure to moisture. Consider sealing the trim if used in a potentially wet area.

How do I clean the trim?

Clean the trim with a damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners that could damage the surface.

What if the trim is damaged during installation?

Minor damage can often be repaired with wood filler or caulk. For significant damage, you may need to replace the damaged section.

Troubleshooting

Trim doesn't fit correctly

Double-check your measurements and recut the trim as needed. Ensure that the cuts are straight and that the trim is properly aligned before fixing it in place.

Gaps are visible after installation

Use caulk to fill any gaps between the trim and the wall or floor. Choose a caulk colour that matches the trim for a seamless finish.

Trim is not staying in place

Ensure that the adhesive or fasteners are appropriate for the materials being used. If using adhesive, allow sufficient time for it to cure. If using nails or staples, use the correct size and ensure they are properly driven in.
