The new SX186 over/cover skirting, with a torus style decorative top has been manufactured so it can be fitted on top of an existing skirting board (with max. dims 1.7 x 9.9 cm). This is an ideal solution where old skirting boards are difficult or impossible to remove. The cover skirting is also a simple and decorative way of concealing electrical cables.

Using Correct Adhesives – IMPORTANT!
It is essential to use Decofix Ultra FX400 – when joining two sections together (either corners or on a straight run). This is a high-strength ‘superglue’ that welds the pieces together and guarantees against separation cracks appearing in future years.
For mounting the coving, we strongly recommend using MS-Polymer Decofix Power FDP700 (dries white and paintable) – especially if any wall or ceiling mounting point has been plastered/skimmed within the last 3 months, or the ambient temperature when fixing is less than 10 degrees Celcius. Otherwise, the standard water-based adhesive Decofix Pro FDP500 will be perfect.
For any sections that require filling, use the FL300 DecoFiller – a product specific filler
