Solid Oak Window Board / Shelf (Square or Round Edge)

Dependent on timber stocks at the time of manufacture, window boards wider than 220mm may be jointed. The joint is glued, clamped and then sanded smooth, resulting in a very neat and strong finished product. The front edge can be supplied squared edged or machined with a bullnose (extra charge applies).

European Oak has a light biscuit tone which displays natural grain and figuring with some small knots and scatterings of pip. Our boards are supplied unfinished (planed smooth but bare) ready to take a finish of your choice.

For window boards at ground-floor level we recommend using a damp proof membrane (visqueen) between the concrete base and the window sill to prevent moisture tracking through. The window sill can then be screwed to the concrete base and the holes filled with a cross-grain plug which gives a very neat finish.

Our timber is sourced from FSC certified saw mills in France, and is kiln-dried to an average moisture content of 9-11%. The timber is stored, before and after machining, in our heated and humidity controlled factory. On delivery, the boards should be taken straight indoors into a warm, dry, heated property and should not be stored anywhere that could affect the moisture content in the timber (e.g. garage or outbuilding).
