When we add a design to the board, we break the seal of the MDF - this is where the finishing helps with added protection against moisture.

Priming and painting MR MDF skirting boards further enhances the moisture resisting properties of the material by creating a seal on the 3 exposed sides. Is it durable? PVC skirting boards are made of polyvinyl chloride, which is a flexible but hard-wearing material that has been around for decades. They can be used in any environment and provide an excellent level of protection against fire as they will not ignite under normal circumstances thanks to their low melting point (150 degrees centigrade). Suitability That's right - every single MDF product we sell is now made from High Density MDF! We have sourced the highest density MDF on the market. Why is density so important?
One less DIY chore to worry about
An important point is that they are not as strong or durable as compared timber, so if you’re looking for something which will withstand heavy wear-and wood that typically holds up well over time – PVC may be worth considering but not as the first choice. Pros And Cons Of PVC Plastic Skirting Pros: HDF is stronger and harder than MDF. Compared to natural wood, High Density MDF doesn't swell at all making surface decoration much easier. HDF skirting boards are perfect in areas where moisture is present (bathrooms etc.) and where flooring that requires frequent mopping is installed. The floor is the largest when it comes to covered area element of a home. It is not only up to floor planks itself to create the beautiful environment but well matched accessories can make a difference. Choice of the skirting boards in many cases can be done at the final stage of renovation or finishing apartment and hence can be overlooked. In the meantime, skirting boards has not only aesthetical purpose, but also important functional meaning. Its quality, durability and appearance can make or break to final outcome of interior. Well suited skirting will allow to emphasize the qualities of even the most beautiful floor. On the other hand, wrong skirting can optically reduce the size of the room or disturb its proportions. So what you should take into account while choosing skirting boards? Are skirting boards a must? Skirting boards are meant to cover dilatation gap by the wall. The biggest downside to using plastic skirting boards, and this applies across any type of material really – it looks cheap compared with wood which has a natural appearance that improves over time when oiled or varnished
Moisture Resistant (MR) MDF is the perfect material for skirting boards for bathrooms, aside from tiles or stone products. The MDF itself has been manufactured with specific properties that allow it to function properly in areas where the moisture content in the air is high, such as bathrooms and some kitchens. You can find out more about the specification and the properties of the MDF we use by following the link to https://www.skirting4u.co.uk/blog/post/what-mdf-do-we-use. The phrase moisture resistant is used to describe boards that have a very dense core. This prevents the material from absorbing moisture and ensures that it lasts a lifetime (if not more!). Priming / Undercoating Adds Another Layer Of Protection
Reduced risk of flood damage
Our MDF is already moisture resistant, but a coat of primer and undercoat will improve this. It helps to create a seal against the moisture present in the air. When it comes to materials that skirting boards are made from there is plenty to choose from. There are solid wood or MDF skirtings, non-PVC and universal PVC skirtings up to hybrid skirtings. An interesting solution is the STIQ skirting board dedicated to vinyl floors. Due to its shape, colours, durability and water resistance, this skirting board is perfect for rooms with vinyl planks on a floor. Thanks to its narrow profile and modern shape, it fits perfectly in any room, underlining and enhancing the qualities of the floor. It is a perfect substitute for commonly used plinth. The STIQ skirting board is also distinguished by its colours. It is available in two very fashionable shades of grey – RAL 7035 and RAL 7045. As a rule stand, high skirting boards (8 cm and higher) are used for interiors above 260 cm. When looking for a skirting boards for typical family home or attic it worth considering 6-8 cm skirtings. This may help when using a standard grade MDF. However, the industrial grade MDF we use is the densest on the market and simply doesn't need to be balanced.
When considering the installation of skirting boards, we must also remember about the corners. Depending on the material, we can use ready-made elements (plastic or hybrid skirtings) or cut the skirtings at an angle of 45 degrees. Trimming requires time and a lot of experience. Ready elements, on the other hand, are often visually uninteresting. However, there is also a new option here: for hybrid skirting boards there are mini-corners that are easy to install and simply pretty (e.g. VIGO 80 skirting boards). What to ultimately consider when choosing a skirting board? The rule that is safe to follow stands that skirting boards should be matched with the floor. Especially when it comes to performance features and usability factors. When you decide to use the skirting from the offer of the floor producer, you gain certainty that skirting will match floor in terms of a colour. Deciding on the company with great experience in skirting production, usually there is more colours to choose from and product has better technical parameters. PVC skirting is light and almost completely water-resistant, meaning it’s excellent for conserving heat in colder months thanks to its thermal insulation properties
