Do I lay the shelf in the length or width of a room?

Make an appointment for interior advice
at the wood yard to be advised by us.
A number of factors determine this: the shape of the room, the windows and the way of laying.

Are the boards dry enough for indoors?

The oak planks are artificially back-dried and therefore have the correct moisture percentage for indoor use.
However, with a wooden floor it is always important to keep the moisture percentage in a room between 55% and 65%.
In dry air, solid oak floorboards will shrink and in moist(er) air, the boards will expand.
This is inherent in the choice of wood and is also a natural process.

Can I treat the oak floor?

No you don’t have to.
If the choice is made not to treat the oak floor, stains and circles will appear.
The floorboards will also darken.
However, this gives the floor character after a few years.
When such a rustic aged floor is desired, we recommend leaving the floorboards untreated.
In some designs, however, it may be desirable to treat the floor.
Oak is easy to treat.
If a matt look is desired we recommend an ultra matt lacquer, for example Rigostep’s Skylt.
For good advice, we gladly refer our customers to the specialist store ‘De Baptist’ in Arnhem.
Their products can also be ordered online.
