The half round profile sits flush against flat surfaces, giving a clean, traditional finish wherever a tidy edge is needed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eProperty\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eDetail\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eEuropean oak\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eProfile\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHalf round\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNominal Size\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e6mm x 18mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLength\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2400mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFinish\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUnfinished \/ ready to stain or paint\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUse Class\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eInternal\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat it is used for\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCovering the expansion gap around the perimeter of hardwood or engineered wood flooring\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConcealing joints between furniture panels, cabinet carcasses and fitted units\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAdding a decorative rounded bead to skirting boards, architraves and door linings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeatening edges on shelving, alcove builds and general interior joinery\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFitting and handling\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eAllow the moulding to acclimatise in the room where it will be fixed for at least 48 hours before fitting, particularly important in rooms with underfloor heating or variable humidity. Fix using a suitable wood adhesive or panel pins; avoid over-nailing on such a slim profile as splitting can occur if pins are placed too close to the ends. Sand lightly with a fine-grit paper before applying your chosen stain, oil or lacquer, as oak takes finish well and the grain will accept colour evenly.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFAQ\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan this oak cover moulding be used over an underfloor heating expansion gap?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes, it is commonly used for this purpose.
