{"product_id":"solid-oak-floating-shelf","title":"Solid Oak Floating Shelf","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMade to order - usually ready in a few working days.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA solid oak floating shelf, machined from character-grade solid oak - not MDF or veneered board. Fixed on concealed brackets, it gives a clean floating look with no visible supports. It works as an alcove shelf, a kitchen or living-room wall shelf, or a fireplace mantel shelf.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSizes:\u003c\/strong\u003e 150mm or 200mm wide and 42mm thick, in lengths from 0.6m up to 1.8m. Sizes are nominal - the finished, planed size is shown in brackets on each option, so a 150mm shelf measures 145mm and 200mm measures 190mm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFinishes:\u003c\/strong\u003e Dark Oak, Medium Oak, Natural, or Unfinished if you'd rather oil or wax it yourself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFixings:\u003c\/strong\u003e supplied as the solid oak shelf. To hang it as a floating shelf, fix it with concealed shelf brackets - available from most DIY suppliers, and we'll be adding our own matching bracket kit soon.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFitting and handling\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLet the shelf acclimatise in the room for at least five to seven days before fixing, especially with underfloor heating or a wood-burning stove, as solid oak moves with changes in temperature and humidity. Use concealed brackets rated for the load, with at least two fixing points. If you've chosen the unfinished option, apply two coats of penetrating oil or hard wax oil to protect the surface.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFree delivery across mainland UK, or collect from our yard in Pyle, near Bridgend.

You fix the brackets to the wall (masonry or studs), then slide the shelf over them. We'll be adding a matching bracket kit soon; for now, standard concealed floating-shelf brackets fit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow much weight can it hold?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWith concealed brackets fixed into solid masonry or studwork, a solid oak shelf comfortably takes books, ornaments and kitchenware. The exact load depends on your brackets and wall type, so follow the bracket manufacturer's rating and use at least two fixing points.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat size do I need?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMeasure your alcove, wall or opening and allow a little overhang if you want it. We make lengths from 0.6m to 1.8m in 150mm and 200mm widths. If you're between sizes, go up.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAre the sizes nominal or finished?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe headline size is nominal (the sawn size). The finished, planed size is in brackets on each option - 150mm measures 145mm and 200mm measures 190mm. The shelf is 42mm thick.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan I cut it to length on site?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes. Solid oak cuts cleanly with a fine-tooth hand saw or a circular saw with a wood blade. Measure and mark carefully, and seal any cut ends with oil or wax to reduce moisture uptake.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat's the difference between the finishes?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDark Oak, Medium Oak and Natural are pre-finished shades, ready to fit. Unfinished is raw oak - choose this if you want to oil, wax or stain it yourself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs it real solid oak?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes - solid oak cut from one piece, not veneered or oak-effect. Expect natural grain, colour variation, the odd knot and some movement, which is normal for real oak.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDo you deliver across the UK?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes - free delivery to mainland UK addresses, or collect from our yard in Pyle, near Bridgend.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Nottage Timber
