Why Choose Sapele Pencil Round Window Boards?

Sapele is widely recognised as one of the finest hardwoods for premium joinery thanks to its impressive durability, stability and naturally decorative appearance. Its warm reddish-brown tones and distinctive interlocking grain create an elegant focal point beneath any internal window.

The pencil round edge softens the front edge of the board without the larger curve of a bullnose profile, creating a clean and sophisticated appearance that complements both contemporary and traditional interiors. It is an excellent choice for customers looking for subtle detailing while maintaining a modern aesthetic.

Unlike MDF or veneered alternatives, our window boards are manufactured from genuine solid Sapele, allowing them to be sanded, refinished and restored throughout their lifetime. Every board also displays its own unique grain pattern, ensuring each installation is completely individual.

Our Sapele pencil round window boards are ideal for:

• Living rooms
• Bedrooms
• Kitchens
• Dining rooms
• Home offices
• Hallways and landings
• Luxury renovations
• Traditional properties
• Modern developments
• Commercial interiors

Premium Quality Solid Sapele

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

Sapele is renowned for its excellent strength, dimensional stability and beautiful natural figure. Its rich colour and decorative grain make it a popular choice for premium doors, staircases, furniture, cabinetry, mouldings and architectural joinery.

Please note that all Sapele 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 high-quality hardwood.

As Sapele is a natural timber, variations in colour, grain and figure should be expected. These natural characteristics ensure every window board has its own unique appearance and add to the beauty of genuine solid hardwood.

Finishing Your Sapele Window Board

Our Sapele window boards are supplied unfinished, allowing you complete flexibility when selecting the final finish.

Popular finishing options include:

• Hardwax oil
• Clear timber oil
• Interior varnish
• Matt or satin lacquer
• Wood stain
• Coloured finishing oils

Many customers choose clear oils or lacquers to enhance Sapele's deep natural colour and striking grain, while stains and coloured oils allow you to tailor the appearance to suit your interior design.

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