FAQs

What tools do I need to install the skirting board?

You will need a saw (hand saw or mitre saw), measuring tape, pencil, nails or adhesive, hammer or nail gun, and optionally, a level.

Can I use this skirting board in a bathroom?

Yes, but ensure you use a waterproof finish to protect the wood from moisture.

How do I cut the corners?

Use a mitre saw or a mitre box to make angled cuts for the corners. A 45-degree angle is usually required for inside and outside corners.

What type of paint should I use?

Use an interior paint suitable for wood. Consider a semi-gloss or gloss finish for durability and ease of cleaning.

How do I fill nail holes?

Use wood filler to fill the nail holes, let it dry, sand it smooth, and then paint or stain over it.

What is the best way to attach the skirting board?

You can use nails or construction adhesive. Nails are a traditional method, while adhesive can provide a cleaner look.

How do I remove old skirting board?

Carefully pry the old skirting board away from the wall, using a pry bar. Be careful not to damage the wall.

Troubleshooting

Gaps between the skirting board and the wall.

Use caulk or filler to fill the gaps and create a seamless finish.

Difficulty cutting the board.

Ensure you are using a sharp saw and taking accurate measurements. Consider using a mitre saw for angled cuts.

Finish not adhering properly.

Ensure the surface is properly prepared (sanded and cleaned) before applying the finish. Follow the finish manufacturer's instructions.
