FAQs
What type of wood is this moulding made from?
This moulding is made from durable hardwood oak.
What are the exact dimensions of the moulding?
The moulding has a cross-section of 20mm by 20mm and a length of 2400mm (2.4 meters).
Can this moulding be used outdoors?
This product is designed for interior use. Exposure to the elements may damage the wood and finish.
How should I finish the oak moulding?
Oak can be finished with stains, varnishes, lacquers, or paints. It's recommended to test your chosen finish on a scrap piece first. Ensure proper surface preparation and ventilation.
Can I join multiple pieces end-to-end for longer runs?
Yes, multiple pieces can be joined. For the strongest and least visible joint, consider cutting the ends at opposing 45-degree angles (a scarf joint) for a longer, overlapping connection.
What is the best way to attach this moulding?
It can be attached using wood glue, finishing nails, or brad nails. Pre-drilling pilot holes is recommended to prevent splitting.
Does the moulding come pre-finished?
No, this moulding typically comes unfinished, allowing you to customize the finish to match your project's aesthetic.
Troubleshooting
Moulding does not sit flush against the corner.
Check the wall or surface for irregularities. Minor gaps can sometimes be filled with wood filler after installation. Ensure cuts are precise and at the correct angle (usually 45 degrees for internal corners).
Splitting or cracking during cutting or nailing.
Use a sharper saw blade for cleaner cuts. Pre-drill pilot holes for nails, especially near the ends of the moulding, to prevent the wood from splitting. Use appropriate length finishing nails.
Visible nail heads after installation.
Use a nail set to countersink the nail heads slightly below the wood surface. Fill the resulting holes with wood filler that matches the wood or finish color, then sand smooth before applying the final finish.
Finish does not adhere properly.
Ensure the wood surface is clean, dry, and free of oils or existing finishes before applying new stain or sealant. Lightly sand the surface with fine-grit sandpaper (e.g., 180-220 grit) before finishing for optimal adhesion.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
- Measure and Cut: Measure the required length for your application. Use a fine-tooth saw (hand saw or power saw) for precise cuts. A miter saw is recommended for accurate angled cuts at corners.
- Prepare Surface: Ensure the surface where the moulding will be applied is clean, dry, and free from dust or debris.
- Attachment: Secure the moulding using wood glue, finishing nails, or brad nails. For heavier applications or increased durability, consider using both glue and fasteners.
- Finishing: Once attached, sand the moulding smooth if necessary. Apply your desired finish, such as stain, varnish, or paint, following the manufacturer's instructions for the chosen product. Ensure adequate ventilation during finishing.
Compatibility
This oak moulding is compatible with most standard interior construction materials, including drywall, plaster, wood, and engineered wood panels. It can be used in conjunction with other wood trims and finishes.
Care
- Clean with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid excessive moisture.
- Periodically inspect the finish. Reapply sealant or varnish as needed to maintain protection and appearance.
- Avoid harsh chemical cleaners, as they can damage the wood finish.
