Oak Characteristics 

We use air dried oak for our chunky aged solid shelves, which possesses certain inherent traits. These are the result of the oaks reaction to environmental shifts and forces over time. These traits lend a distinct appearance to the wood and infuse a sense of "character" to every item we manufacture. As a result, each shelf possesses its own unique set of traits and there will be variation between individual pieces. The following are the traits that are naturally found in our products:

Cracks (Checks)

Checks, or cracks that form in the wood, are typically the result of tension stress. These are less common in our kiln dried products and smaller cracks may have been filled.

Knots

Knots, often distinguished by a darker centre and a resin outline, stand out from the grain. They add unique character to the wood and lend authenticity to the timber boards as no two knots are identical.

HANDCRAFTED AND UNIQUE

It's crucial to understand that since each of our products is handcrafted, there will be variations between each piece. Each beam or shelf will have its own unique grain pattern, cracks, knots, and splits that add to its natural traits. Please expect some further movement if placed above a heat source.

ITEM DIMENSIONS

Shelf sizes might vary slightly due to the machining and sanding process. Please allow for a 1.5cm variance. These minor differences are not considered defects. 

When it comes to creating oak floating shelves, our commitment to minimising waste is of utmost importance. In order to achieve the desired depth, we may employ a technique that involves manufacturing these shelves from two or more carefully selected pieces of timber. Rest assured, this approach adheres to strict industry standards, ensuring that the overall quality of our shelves remains uncompromised and in fact increases the stability and durability.

Weight Guidelines

We recommend that each concealed rod fixing for solid walls can hold approximately 15kg; however this will depend on the depth of the shelf purchase and the integrity of the wall which it is installed on. We may use a 12mm round bar for any shelf over 200mm in depth. 

Plasterboard fixings can approximately hold 7.5Kg per fixing ( please only use as a guide)

PRODUCT COLOURS AND FINISHES

We offer a variety of colours however our most common colours are Natural, Warm, White and Dark. Please note colours may have slight differences from one piece to another. Although we try our best to match all colours and finishes, these variations are normal and not considered manufacturing defects
