What it's used for
- Skirting boards along the base of internal walls in hallways, living rooms and bedrooms where a hardwood finish is required.
- Architrave sets around door frames and lining sets to create a neat, consistent border throughout a property.
- Matching torus profiles across rooms to achieve a unified look from floor to door frame.
- Bespoke joinery and refurbishment projects where a hardwood alternative to softwood mouldings is specified.
Fitting and handling
Allow the timber to acclimatise in the installation room for at least 48 hours before fitting, as American White Oak will move in response to changes in temperature and humidity. Fix to walls using instant grab adhesive for a clean result with no visible fixings, or combine with cut nails where additional mechanical fixing is preferred on uneven plaster. Once fitted, apply your chosen finish, whether that is an oil, a hard-wax oil or a clear lacquer, to all faces including the back, to help stabilise moisture movement and protect the timber long term.
FAQ
Is this American White Oak skirting supplied ready to paint or does it need sanding first?
The skirting and architrave is supplied unfinished straight from our in-house machines. A light sand with 120-grit followed by 180-grit will give a smooth surface ready to accept any stain, oil or lacquer of your choice. We recommend a test piece first if you are colour-matching to existing Oak joinery.
Can I use the same torus profile for both skirting and architrave?
Yes. The torus profile is available in multiple widths, so you can choose a wider board for skirting and a narrower one for architrave while keeping the same moulding detail throughout. This is one of the most common ways to achieve a consistent look across a room or across an entire floor of a property.
What is the actual finished size once the timber has been machined?
All sizes listed are nominal. The finished thickness after machining is approximately 20mm. Width will be slightly less than the nominal figure quoted. If tight tolerances matter for your project, please contact Nottage Timber Merchants directly and we can confirm current finished dimensions from stock.
