The P180120 is a premium, high-density PU skirting profile engineered to deliver a seamless transition between floor and wall surfaces. Designed with modern architectural aesthetics in mind, this flat-profile baseboard acts as a durable shield protecting your walls from everyday impacts, vacuum cleaner scuffs, and moisture penetration. By bridging the gap between different floor finishes and wall structures, it effectively conceals minor expansion joints and surface irregularities with absolute precision.
With a height of 120 mm and a thickness of 17 mm, this profile offers a balanced proportion suited for standard to high-ceiling rooms. Manufactured from rigid polyurethane with a density of 150-220 kg/m³, the baseboard exhibits a wood-like surface hardness while remaining remarkably lightweight. This density ensures exceptional impact resistance, preventing the denting and chipping commonly associated with softer MDF or plaster alternatives.
Aesthetically, the profile features a clean, minimalist flat face topped with a subtle, soft radius curve that softens the transition to the wall. The smooth, non-porous surface comes factory-pre-primed in a matte white finish. While this factory primer is designed to optimize initial paint adhesion, the application of an additional primer layer is optional and depends entirely on the specific requirements of your chosen paint manufacturer's warranty guidelines.
Assess water and moisture exposure using the product technical data, surface finish and installation details. It maintains high dimensional stability under varying environmental conditions, with dimensional stability tested between -20 °C and +70 °C. Additionally, the material has fire class B2 (DIN 4102-1).
For a permanent installation, the profile must be mitered at 45 degrees for corner joints and bonded using a high-quality polyurethane (PU) assembly adhesive, supplemented by mechanical screw fastening. Once the adhesive cures, joints are filled, sanded with 180-220 grit paper, and finished with two coats of paint. For any outdoor applications, coating the unpainted PU surface with a UV-resistant paint is mandatory to prevent natural yellowing from solar exposure.
- This versatile flat baseboard profile is ideal for both residential and commercial applications
- Indoors, it provides a clean border in modern living rooms, corridors, and bedrooms
- Assess water and moisture exposure using the product technical data, surface finish and installation details
- In commercial settings, it withstands the rigors of busy offices, retail showrooms, and restaurants
- When painted with a proper UV-resistant exterior coating, it can also be used on semi-open terraces, balconies, and transitional entrance facades to maintain design continuity from the interior to the exterior
- Ensure the application wall and floor surfaces are clean, dry, and free of dust
- Measure the walls and cut the profiles at a 45-degree angle using a fine miter saw for perfect corner alignment
- Apply a continuous bead of polyurethane (PU) assembly adhesive along the rear mounting tracks of the profile
- Press the skirting board firmly against the wall and secure it mechanically using screws or brad nails to ensure a permanent bond while the adhesive cures
- Wipe away any excess adhesive immediately
- Fill all joints and screw holes with a high-quality acrylic filler
- Once fully dry, sand the filled areas using 180-220 grit sandpaper
- Finally, apply two coats of water-based or synthetic paint
- Note that while the factory primer prepares the surface, an additional paint-specific primer is optional and up to the installer's preference
- Thanks to the smooth, non-porous surface of the PU material, maintenance is exceptionally easy
- Regular dust and light dirt can be wiped away using a soft, damp microfiber cloth
- For deeper cleaning, a mild, non-abrasive household detergent can be used safely
- Avoid using highly acidic, alkaline, or strong solvent-based cleaners, as these may damage the decorative paint layer
- Assess water and moisture exposure using the product technical data, surface finish and installation details
- In the event of severe physical damage, the profile can be easily repaired with standard acrylic filler, sanded, and spot-painted to restore its original appearance
Can this skirting board be used in moisture-prone areas like bathrooms?
Yes, absolutely. The P180120 is manufactured from high-density rigid polymer with a closed-cell structure, resulting in a water absorption rate of less than 1%. Unlike traditional MDF or timber, it will not warp, swell, rot, or support mold growth, making it perfect for bathrooms, kitchens, and commercial wet areas.
Is it necessary to apply an additional primer before painting?
The product is delivered with a factory-applied primer that prepares the surface for paint adhesion. However, because paint manufacturers often require their own specific primer to honor their product warranties, applying an additional primer is optional and is a choice left to the client. Polure does not guarantee paint performance.
Can I install this profile on outdoor balconies or terraces?
Yes, it is suitable for outdoor use due to its high weather resistance (dimensional stability has been tested between -20 °C and +70 °C). However, unpainted PU can yellow over time when exposed to direct sunlight. Therefore, for any exterior application, it is mandatory to paint the profile with a UV-resistant exterior paint to protect it from solar degradation.
Why should I choose polyurethane over traditional MDF or wood baseboards?
Polyurethane provides the ideal combination of a wood-like surface hardness (density of 150-220 kg/m³) and a lightweight structure. Assess water and moisture exposure using the product technical data, surface finish and installation details.
What type of adhesive should be used for installing the P180120?
For a secure and permanent installation, you must use a high-quality polyurethane (PU) assembly adhesive. Standard silicone adhesives must not be used, as they do not provide the structural bond required. Additionally, mechanical fixing with screws or nails is mandatory to hold the profile in place while the adhesive cures.
