Thick and Thin Shelf Dimensions
Please note:
Each shelf is unique and displays its own individual beauty through its cracks, knots and splits. You should allow for further cracking after receiving your shelf as this is a normal part of the acclimatisation process. We advise all customers to allow the shelf to get use to its new environment prior to installation.
Oak Characteristics
The air dried oak we use has some natural characteristics. These are due to the oak responding to environmental forces and changes over time. These natural characteristics give the oak a unique look and adds “personality” to all the products we produce. Due to this each beam / shelf is unique in its characteristics and will vary from piece to piece. Below are the characteristics you will find naturally occurring in our products:
Checks (Cracks)
Checks are the formation of cracks in the wood normally caused by tension stresses. They often develop early in drying because the lumber surfaces dry too quickly as a result of low relative humidity. Air dried oak can have surface checks which adds character.
Knots
Knots are usually with a darker coloured centre, outlined with resin and standing out from the grain. They give wood special character and make timber boards look more authentic as no two knots look the same.
Medullary Rays
These marks are a naturally occurring finish called "medullary rays" and are something which add a rich character and beauty to all of our oak products:
Our oak is sourced from well managed forests. We buy all PEFC & FSC certified timber. Our air dried oak is typically 2-5 years air dried.

All of our products are made from kiln dried or air dried European oak which is PEFC certified. All our products are unique, displaying their own individual beauty through cracks, knots and splits. We use only the highest quality oak to try minimise any further movement as it acclimitalises to its new surroundings, however please allow for further movement as it settles into your home.
Shelf sizes may vary due to the machining and sanding process. Please allow for a 1.5cm difference. These differences will not be classed as a defect.
All fixtures are supplied ready for installation on our standard sized products.
If you have a plasterboard wall please add specialist plasterboard fixings from the fixing dropdown.
