Kensington MDF Skirting Board

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 manufacturer on a High Density MDF board which we have specifically sourced, as it produces a far smoother cut surface when moulded, making a superior quality product compares to other standard or premium MDF skirting boards.
