Product Information
Full details
The Flexible PVC Sit On Skirting Board is an ideal solution for DIY enthusiasts and homeowners seeking a clean, professional finish for their floor-to-wall transitions without the hassle of traditional wood installation. It provides a waterproof and durable seal that is resistant to deformation, making it highly effective for bathrooms, kitchens, and living areas. While its self-adhesive backing simplifies the process, users must ensure the mounting surface is perfectly clean and dry, as any debris or moisture can significantly compromise the long-term integrity of the bond.

FAQs
Can I use this on carpeted floors?
This product is designed as a 'sit-on' board for hard floor surfaces. It may not adhere well or provide a clean finish when used directly on deep-pile carpets.
Is the adhesive strong enough to hold permanently?
Yes, provided the surface is smooth, clean, and completely dry. If the wall is painted with a textured or low-adhesion paint, additional adhesive may be required.
Can I paint this skirting board?
PVC surfaces are generally non-porous and do not hold standard wall paint well. It is recommended to use the board in its original white finish.
What is the best way to cut the PVC?
A standard sharp utility knife or a pair of heavy-duty shears will cut the flexible PVC easily. Always score the material first for a straighter line.
Does the 80mm width cover existing gaps?
The 80mm width is standard for covering small expansion gaps between flooring and walls. Ensure your floor gap is smaller than the width of the skirting to ensure full coverage.
Troubleshooting
The skirting board is peeling away from the wall.
The surface may have had dust or moisture during installation. Clean the area again and use a heavy-duty double-sided mounting tape to re-secure the loose section.
Difficulty getting a clean corner cut.
Use a sharp utility knife and a miter box to ensure precise 45-degree cuts for a professional finish at corners.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
For installation, begin by cleaning the wall base thoroughly; use a degreaser or alcohol wipe to ensure the surface is free from dust, grease, and moisture. Once dry, peel away the protective backing from the adhesive in small sections, pressing the strip firmly against the floor and wall simultaneously to ensure maximum contact. It is recommended to use a small roller to apply consistent pressure along the length of the trim. For care, simply wipe down with a soft, damp cloth and mild household detergent. Avoid using harsh chemical solvents or abrasive pads, as these may dull the PVC finish or degrade the adhesive bond over time.
