What it's used for

  • Skirting boards along the base of walls in living rooms, hallways and bedrooms where a clean, understated profile is required.
  • Architrave sets around door and window openings, particularly in oak-floored or oak-joinery schemes where a matching timber species ties the room together.
  • Feature framing around alcoves, chimney breasts or built-in cabinetry where a solid oak moulding gives a more substantial finish than MDF alternatives.
  • Replacement skirting in period or contemporary properties where a simple pencil round detail suits the architectural style without competing with other decorative elements.

Fitting and handling

Allow the mouldings to acclimatise in the room where they will be fitted for a minimum of 48 to 72 hours before cutting or fixing, as American White Oak is sensitive to changes in temperature and humidity. Fix using a solvent-free instant grab adhesive applied to the back of the board, supplemented with cut nails or a nail gun into studwork or masonry plugs where required. Apply your chosen finish, whether oil, hard wax oil or lacquer, after fitting and before caulking any gaps for the neatest result.

FAQ

Can I use this American White Oak skirting in a bathroom or kitchen?

Solid oak mouldings can be used in kitchens and bathrooms provided they are sealed thoroughly on all faces, including the back and any cut ends, with a suitable waterproof finish such as a two-part lacquer or a penetrating oil. Avoid prolonged exposure to standing water or steam.

What is the actual finished size once machined?

All widths are sold at nominal size. The finished thickness after machining is 20mm. Finished widths will be slightly less than the nominal figure stated, which is standard practice across the UK timber trade. If a precise finished width is critical to your project, please contact Nottage Timber Merchants before ordering.

Do I need to prime or seal American White Oak skirting before painting?

American White Oak is not typically painted, as its open grain and natural figure are best shown with an oil or clear lacquer. If you do wish to paint it, apply a suitable wood primer or an aluminium-based primer first to prevent tannin bleed-through, which can cause discolouration on top coats.

low quality; not as advertised
Low quality. The wood has an unpleasant smell, even after initial washing and thorough drying followed by extensive seasoning. Several of the surfaces of the boards were rough. One board was gouged on the bottom (I typically use both sides of the cutting board). Another board had a small amount of wood filler on the bottom. I was forced to sand most of the surfaces in order to smooth them before I seasoned them. There are gaps in the stand where boards join that are not filled. The boards are purported to be pre-oiled, but I didn't see any evidence of that. The "detachable non-slip rubber feet" are not attached and are a little too hard to be "non-slip". If you want to attach the feet then you are on your own - there are no pilot holes and the screws are not self-tapping. The screws have a conical, tapered head and so they do not match well to the feet - a washer-head screw would be the correct type of fit. Lastly, I don't know my wood types that well, but furniture and cutting board acacia is said to be significantly harder than oak. These cutting boards do not strike me as being as hard as my old oak cutting board.

Good but need to oil after use
These are sturdy and attractive, but you need to oil these down every now and again as the surface will splinter a little.

Lies
Update! They are cracking and falling apart already with barely being used and careful care. Complete waste of money. Original review: These are horrible, as far as the smell and not being properly sanded. They aren't pre-oiled like they claimed either. Not worth what you pay for them.

Sturdy cutting boards!
These cutting boards work great and are sturdy. They lose color quickly but re oiling them will help that. Good product.
