Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Before use, it is recommended to acclimatize the oak stripwood to the environment where it will be installed for at least 48 hours.

Ensure you have appropriate cutting tools for hardwood, such as a fine-toothed saw or a mitre saw, for precise cuts.

Care: To maintain its appearance and integrity, keep the oak stripwood in a dry environment. If finished, wipe clean with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or high humidity. For unfinished wood, consider applying a protective finish like oil, wax, or varnish, especially if used in areas with potential moisture.
