- Skirting boards along the base of internal walls in new builds and renovation projects
- Architrave around internal door frames and window openings
- Feature framing and border detailing in contemporary or traditional oak interiors
- Matching trim to complement oak flooring, staircases, or other oak joinery
Fitting and handling
Allow the timber to acclimatise in the room where it will be fitted for at least 48 hours before fixing, particularly in rooms with underfloor heating or variable humidity. Fix using a suitable instant grab adhesive, supplemented with pin nails where necessary, for a clean finish without visible fixings. Store the lengths flat and off the ground, and apply your chosen oil, stain, or paint once the boards are in position and any mitre joints have been cut and checked for fit.
FAQ
What is the actual finished size of these oak skirting boards?
The nominal thickness is 25mm but the finished, machined thickness is 20mm. Widths are sold by nominal size (75mm, 100mm, 125mm, or 150mm); actual finished widths will be fractionally less due to machining. If you need exact finished dimensions for a close-tolerance job, contact Nottage Timber Merchants directly.
Can I paint American White Oak skirting, or is it only suitable for clear finishes?
American White Oak takes paint well, though its open grain benefits from a grain-filling primer before topcoating if a smooth painted finish is required. It is equally suited to oils, hardwax oils, and pigmented stains that let the timber character show through.
How many lengths do I need to order for a room?
Measure the total perimeter of the room in metres and divide by 2.4 to get the number of 2400mm lengths required. Add 10-15% for waste from mitres and end cuts. For doorways, deduct the door opening width and account for the architrave lengths separately.
