Additional Information

  • Material

    High Density Moisture Resistant (MR) MDF

    Our Kensington skirting board is made of a high density, moisture resistant (MR) MDF.

    MDF is free from natural defects. This gives it a long product life and means that MDF will not; warp, twist, bow, split, or contain knots, all of which you would find in pine and any other natural wood. This makes MDF the most economical, time saving material for your skirting board requirements.

    Skirtings R Us MDF builds on these properties. We manufacture a High Density MDF board which we have specifically sourced, as it produces a far smoother cut surface when moulded, superior to other standard or premium MDF's.

    For more information on our MDF please see our MDF information page.

The Benefits of Primed Finishes

Primed finishes are the most popular supplied to the DIY, building and design industries for several reasons:

  • Pre-primed mouldings relieves a lot of work as MDF, being an absorbent material, can require two or more priming coats to seal it properly.
  • If primed, mistakes and marks commonly made during installation can be rectified when finishing (unlike a gloss or satin finish, which is almost impossible to ‘touch up’ well and would be wasted).
  • Therefore primed skirting boards/architrave is the easiest and most flexible product to install with less risk of permanently damaging the finish.

We recommend a primed finish on skirting board and would urge anyone who is thinking otherwise to reconsider.

For more information on primed finishes and the limitations of other finishes visit our finishes page.
