Why Choose Ash Pencil Round Window Boards?

European Ash is renowned for its excellent strength, durability and attractive flowing grain. Its light natural colour creates a bright, contemporary appearance while offering the long-term performance expected from genuine hardwood.

The pencil round edge provides a subtle rounded finish that softens the front edge without becoming overly decorative. It offers an excellent balance between the sharp lines of a square edge and the fuller curve of a bullnose profile, making it suitable for a wide variety of interior styles.

Unlike MDF or veneered alternatives, our window boards are manufactured from solid Ash, allowing them to be sanded, refinished and restored if required. Every board also displays its own unique grain pattern, ensuring each installation has genuine natural character.

Our Ash pencil round window boards are ideal for:

• Living rooms
• Bedrooms
• Kitchens
• Dining rooms
• Home offices
• Hallways and landings
• Modern renovations
• Traditional properties
• Commercial interiors
• Bespoke joinery projects

Premium Quality Solid European Ash

Every window board is manufactured from carefully selected kiln-dried European Ash. Kiln drying reduces the timber's moisture content before machining, helping improve stability and minimise movement after installation.

Ash is highly regarded for its strength-to-weight ratio, excellent machining properties and attractive natural grain. It has long been used for premium staircases, furniture, shelving, skirting boards, architraves and other high-quality joinery applications.

Please note that all Ash window boards measuring 200mm wide and above are jointed across the width. Carefully selected sections of solid timber are joined together to create wider boards whilst maintaining the strength, stability and premium appearance expected from genuine hardwood.

As Ash is a natural timber, colour, grain and character will vary between boards. These natural variations ensure every window board is unique.

Finishing Your Ash Window Board

Our Ash window boards are supplied unfinished, allowing you to create the finish that best suits your interior.

Popular finishing options include:

• Hardwax oil
• Clear timber oil
• Interior varnish
• Matt or satin lacquer
• Wood stain
• Paint (following suitable preparation and priming)

Many customers choose clear oils or lacquers to showcase Ash's beautiful grain and pale colouring, while others opt for stains or painted finishes to match surrounding joinery.

Before applying your chosen finish, lightly sand where required and remove all dust. Seal every face, edge and freshly cut end to provide long-lasting protection against moisture and everyday wear.
