Finishing
Fitting skirting
It is advisable to fit some foam strip or
sealant around the port opening before
fitting the skirting. This will provide an
air-tight seal between the wall and the
skirting and reduce the possibility of
any whistling or other noises that may
occur due to air passing gaps behind the
skirting.
• Fix the foam strip to the wall around
the opening.
Choose a strip thickness that will just
compress behind the skirting when
fitted.
• Fit the skirting.
