Painting and Finishing

Skirting King offer unprimed, primed, and fully finished satin boards. You can choose your finish on the product page that you are interested in. We use premium commercial primer and satin for all our painted boards. Please note we can only paint or prime boards that are 250mm wide and under.

Primed

All of our primed boards are finished with two coats of primer/base coat, that is applied with our automated paint machine. Once dry, they are finished with an automated brush sander, with any imperfections finished by hand. Our primed skirtings, architraves and window boards would require a coat of gloss, satin or eggshell once fitted.

Fully Finished Satin

Our satin boards are supplied ready to fit. They undertake the same process as our primed boards, but have a further coat of 20% sheen satin, and a final sand to ensure a perfectly smooth finish. Our satin finish is a matte finish, rather than gloss.

Sanding

All our primed and satin finish boards are sanded at least once. Our automated brush sander gets right into the profile detail, ensuring a smooth and consistent finish. We also inspect all our boards before dispatch, finishing any imperfections by hand.

You might be surprised to hear that we make everything to order.

As soon as your order arrives it is processed by a member of our sales team. Your skirting board, architrave and window boards start life in sheet form. Our saw operator initially inspects the material for defects, cuts your order, and sends it to the spindle moulder for profiling.

Before you order is moulded, we undertake a three-point quality inspection, and double check the height, depth, and finish. If you have chosen to have your boards primed, they continue through our fully automated spray booth.

Once painted, our finishing team sand your order, and check for any defects that need to be finished by hand. If you have chosen a painted satin finish, these boards are sent for topcoat and further sanding.

Every order is wrapped by hand, we use 100% recycled cardboard corners to ensure that your order is not damaged in transit. Our automated spiral wrap machine then wraps your parcel, ready for shipping.
