The Ultimate Guide to Perfectly Primed Skirting Boards

From profile selection to coating method — everything you need to know about production-grade skirting board priming.

Why Skirting Quality Matters

Skirting boards are one of the most visible elements in any room. They sit at eye level when seated and catch raking light from windows, making every imperfection in the primer coat visible under the finished paint. For manufacturers and decorators alike, skirting quality is non-negotiable.

Complex profiles — torus, ogee, bullnose, chamfer — present a challenge for traditional priming methods. Brush marks settle into quirks and rebates, spray mist bridges sharp edges unevenly, and back faces are often left bare, leading to moisture-related warping after installation.
