Material
High Density Moisture Resistant (MR) MDF
Our MDf window board range 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 architrave 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, superior to window boards made with a standard or premium MDF.
For more information on our MDF please see our MDF information page.

Finish
Window Boards are supplied either;
Un-primed
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 window boards are the easiest and most flexible product to install with less risk of permanently damaging the finish.
We recommend a primed finish on window boards and would urge anyone who is thinking otherwise to reconsider.
