18mm x 119mm MDF White Primed Ogee Skirting Board 4200mm

What is 18mm x 119mm MDF White Primed Ogee Skirting Board?

18mm x 119mm MDF White Primed Ogee Skirting Board represents a popular and practical choice for finishing interior spaces. Its key strengths lie in its engineered consistency, providing a smooth, defect-free surface that is ideal for achieving a high-quality painted finish with relative ease. The pre-primed surface offers significant time and labour savings during installation compared to raw timber. 

The inherent properties of MDF make it an excellent substrate for painting. Its smooth, homogenous surface, free from knots, grain, and natural imperfections, allows for a flawless, uniform paint finish that is difficult to achieve with natural timber without extensive preparation. The factory-applied primer provides an ideal base, ensuring excellent adhesion and coverage for the final topcoats. 

The classic Ogee profile introduces an element of elegance and traditional style to a room. It provides a visually appealing, decorative transition between the wall and floor, enhancing the overall architectural character of the space. 

Applications

• Wall-Floor Junction: Its main purpose is to cover the joint where the internal wall surface meets the finished floor, providing a clean, decorative transition.   
• Wall Protection: Skirting boards act as a protective buffer at the base of the wall, shielding the plaster or paintwork from scuffs, knocks, and impacts caused by furniture, vacuum cleaners, toys, and general foot traffic.   
• Concealing Imperfections: They can hide minor irregularities, gaps, or untidy finishing at the bottom edge of the wall or the edge of the flooring.

Suitable Locations

This skirting board is suitable for most dry interior areas of a building, including:

• Living rooms
