Planning
Trim and Panelling Planning Checklist

- Plan socket and switch positions
- Choose moisture-resistant board for wet areas
- Plan hidden lighting early
- Allow for floor finish height
- Agree corner and joint details
Getting Trim Right on Dubai Walls
Walls in Dubai apartments are often slightly out of straight, especially gypsum partitions. Good trim work follows the wall closely, with scribed joints and flexible filler, so there are no shadows or gaps along the top edge.
In bathrooms, kitchens and near balcony doors, PVC or moisture-resistant MDF skirting avoids swelling. Panelling is glued and pinned so it stays flat as humidity changes.
For painting after trim work, see interior painting. For door frames, see door and frame installation, and for gypsum walls, gypsum board installation.
