• Our oak products come 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

Finish

• It is essential to finish and protect your natural oak architrave.
• 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 architrave 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 architrave will last many years.

Installation

• To install an oak architrave set, start by measuring the length of the door opening and cutting the architrave board to size using a saw.
• Mitred cuts and biscuit joint guarantees the most professional finish (usually made by a professional installer/fitter)
• Apply adhesive to the back of the architrave board and press it firmly into place against the wall.
• Use nails or screws to secure the architrave 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 architrave 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 lasts for years.
• IMPORTANT: it is recommended to varnish or oil the back side and all edges of the oak architrave 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 the oak architrave board yourself, it is often recommended to hire a professional fitter.
• Maintaining the durability and beauty of your oak components is essential by keeping them flat at room temperature in a dry environment.
