The traditional bullnose edge softens the appearance of the board while providing a comfortable, elegant finish that suits virtually any interior style.

Premium Quality European Oak

Every oak window board is produced using carefully selected European oak, renowned for its attractive grain patterns, strength and longevity. The timber is kiln-dried to help minimise movement and ensure a stable finished product.

For wider boards, carefully selected oak staves may be jointed to maximise structural stability whilst maintaining the appearance and strength expected from a premium solid oak product.

Each board is individually inspected to ensure exceptional quality and consistency.

Finishing Your Oak Window Board

Our oak window boards are supplied unfinished, allowing you to achieve the exact look you require.

Popular finishing options include:

• Hardwax oils
• Clear lacquer
• Satin varnish
• Natural oak oils
• Coloured wood stains

Applying a suitable finish helps protect the timber while enhancing the natural beauty and grain pattern of the oak.

Fitting Instructions for Oak Window Boards

Tools Required

• Tape measure
• Spirit level
• Fine-tooth saw or mitre saw
• Grab adhesive
• Screws and wall plugs, if required
• Drill and suitable fixings
• Sandpaper
• Wood finish or oil

Step 1 – Measure the Window Recess

Measure the width and depth of the window opening. Allow for any desired overhang beyond the finished plaster line and check for uneven walls that may require scribing.

Step 2 – Cut to Size

Trim the oak window board to the required dimensions using a fine-tooth saw. Lightly sand any freshly cut edges before installation.

Step 3 – Dry Fit the Board

Position the board within the opening and check that it fits correctly. Confirm that the board sits level and make any adjustments as necessary.

Step 4 – Apply Adhesive

Apply a high-quality grab adhesive to the supporting surface, masonry ledge or timber battens. Larger boards may benefit from additional mechanical fixings for extra support.

Step 5 – Install and Level

Carefully position the board and use a spirit level to ensure it is perfectly level. Apply gentle pressure to secure the board while the adhesive cures.

Step 6 – Finish the Timber

Once fitted, apply your chosen finish to all faces, edges and cut ends. This helps reduce moisture absorption and improves the long-term stability of the timber.

Care & Maintenance

To keep your oak window sill looking its best:

• Clean regularly using a soft damp cloth
• Avoid harsh chemical cleaners
• Wipe away standing water promptly
• Reapply protective oil or finish when required
• Avoid placing excessively hot items directly onto the timber

With proper care, a solid oak window board can provide decades of natural beauty and performance.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between a window board and a window sill?

In the UK, the terms window board and window sill are often used interchangeably for the internal horizontal surface beneath a window. Technically, a window sill can also refer to the external component, while a window board generally refers to the internal finish.

Can oak window boards be used in kitchens and bathrooms?

Yes. Solid oak window boards are suitable for kitchens and most bathroom environments provided they are properly sealed with a suitable oil, lacquer or varnish and maintained correctly.

How do you fit an oak window board?

Most oak window boards are fitted using a combination of grab adhesive and mechanical fixings where required. Always ensure the board is level, adequately supported and fully sealed after installation.

Should oak window boards be oiled or varnished?

Both options are suitable. Hardwax oils provide a natural appearance and are easy to maintain, while varnishes and lacquers offer increased surface protection. The best option depends on your preferred finish and level of maintenance.

Can oak window boards be cut to size?

Yes. Solid oak window boards can be cut and trimmed using standard woodworking tools. Any exposed cut edges should be sanded smooth and sealed with the same finish used on the rest of the board.
