FAQs

What tools do I need to install the GoodHome Torus Skirting Board?

You will need a saw (hand or mitre), measuring tape, hammer or nail gun, pencil, level, sandpaper, wood filler, primer, and paint or stain.

Can I paint the skirting board?

Yes, the planed natural pine is designed to be painted or stained. Apply a primer before painting for the best results.

How do I cut the skirting boards for corners?

Use a mitre saw to make 45-degree angle cuts for inside and outside corners. Measure accurately and test the fit before final installation.

What type of adhesive should I use?

Construction adhesive specifically designed for wood is recommended. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for application.

How do I clean the skirting boards?

Wipe the skirting boards with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners that could damage the finish.

How do I fill nail holes?

Use wood filler that matches the colour of your skirting board. Apply the filler, let it dry, then sand it smooth before priming and painting.

How often should I repaint or restain the skirting boards?

The frequency depends on wear and tear. Inspect the boards regularly. Re-paint or re-stain when the finish shows signs of wear or damage.

Troubleshooting

Gaps between the skirting board and the wall.

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

Skirting boards are not aligning properly at corners.

Double-check measurements and ensure accurate mitre cuts. Adjust angles as needed.

Nails are not holding the board securely.

Use a nail gun or longer nails. Consider using construction adhesive for added security.
