FAQs

Does this board come pre-painted?

No, it comes primed. The primer acts as a base layer, but you must apply a top coat of paint to achieve the final finish.

Can I use this in a bathroom?

While the material is durable, it is not specifically treated for high-moisture areas. If used in a bathroom, ensure all edges are well-sealed with moisture-resistant paint.

What type of paint should I use?

You can use standard trim or skirting board paint, such as eggshell, satin, or gloss, depending on your preferred sheen.

How should I clean the boards?

Use a soft, damp cloth for routine cleaning. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive scouring pads.

Do I need to sand before painting?

A light sanding with fine-grit paper is recommended to ensure the best possible adhesion for your top coat.

Is this product compatible with all floor types?

Yes, it is designed to sit against various floor types, including laminate, wood, and carpet.

Troubleshooting

Visible gaps at corners after installation

Use a caulk gun with flexible decorator's filler to seal small gaps before final painting.

Paint not adhering evenly

Ensure the surface is completely free of dust and consider a light sanding before applying the final top coat.

Board warping or bending

Store boards flat in a climate-controlled room prior to installation to allow the material to acclimatize to the environment.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To install, ensure your walls are dry, clean, and free of dust. Measure your room perimeter accurately, accounting for extra length for mitre cuts. Use high-strength construction adhesive or countersunk nails to fix the boards to the wall studs. Once fixed, fill any nail holes with high-quality wood filler, sand lightly, and apply your chosen top coat—usually an emulsion or satin trim paint. For maintenance, keep the boards looking fresh by wiping them down with a slightly damp cloth to remove surface dirt, ensuring you avoid overly abrasive cleaners that could damage the paint finish.
