Specification

• Engineered Oak Skirting is made from layers of natural wood glued together in a cross-grain pattern, providing added strength and durability.
• It is also more stable and less prone to warping or shrinking due to moisture or temperature changes.
• Thanks to engineered oak construction, every plank of the skirting is very consistent in colour due to a prime material used on the front surface.
• Our oak product comes from FSC-certified European Mills, which guarantees quality and colour consistency, and great care is taken to promote responsible management of the world’s forests.
• Pencil round: 6mm
• With cable rebate

Finish

• It is essential to finish and protect your natural oak skirting board.
• Clear varnish or oil will enhance the natural beauty of the wood while also providing a protective layer against moisture and wear.
• Make sure to sand the skirting board first to create a smooth surface, then apply the varnish or oil in thin, even coats with a brush or cloth.
• Allow each coat to dry completely before applying the next.
• With proper care and maintenance, your oak skirting board will last many years.

Installation

• To install oak skirting board, start by measuring the length of the wall and cutting the skirting board to size using a saw.
• Apply adhesive to the back of the skirting board and press it firmly into place against the wall.
• Use nails or screws to secure the skirting board in place, making sure to countersink the nails or screws and fill the holes with wood filler or Oak Cross Grain Dowel Screw Plugs.
• Finish and protect the skirting board with a clear varnish or oil as described above.
• Remember to sand the board first, apply thin, even coats, and allow each coat to dry completely before applying the next.
• With these steps, you can achieve a professional-looking finish that will last for years to come.
• IMPORTANT: it is recommended to varnish or oil the back side and all edges of the skirting as it makes it more stable and less prone to warping or shrinking due to moisture or temperature changes.
• While it is possible to install skirting board yourself, it is often recommended to hire a professional fitter.
