Black Olive Solid Wood End Bar

Black Olive End Bar – Solid Oak Door Bar

The black olive end bar is a solid oak door bar that gives a neat finish at the exposed edge of a solid or engineered wood floor. The Black Olive finish is near-black with warm dark olive-brown undertones running through the grain. In particular, the contrast between the dark stain and the natural grain movement of the oak gives the surface a depth that no printed finish replicates.

The bar is 34mm wide and 15mm tall at the floor edge, sitting 5mm above the floor on the visible side. The supplied fixing track adjusts to floor thicknesses of 14 to 18mm.

Where to Use a Black Olive Solid Oak End Bar

The end bar is for situations where the floor has an exposed edge with no adjoining floor surface to meet. Specifically, it suits thresholds at patio doors, bifold doors, fireplaces, and mat wells where the solid or engineered wood floor ends without a second floor on the other side.

Black Olive works well in darker interiors – rooms with deep-toned wood floors, charcoal skirting, or strong contrast between surfaces. It also reads well as a deliberate contrast against a lighter floor. Where there is an adjoining floor at the same height, the Black Olive T-Bar is the correct profile. Where the adjoining floor sits lower, the Black Olive Ramp Bar is the right choice instead.

Fitting and Cutting

Cut to length with a chopsaw or jigsaw,
Screw or glue the fixing track to the subfloor at the floor edge. Once the floor is fitted up to the track, push the End Bar into the track to finish. If you cannot use the track, glue the bar to the subfloor and pin through the bar into the floor to hold it in place while the adhesive sets, or glue and weigh the bar down until the adhesive sets.

Lengths and Colour Matching

The black olive end bar is available in 0.9m and 2.4m, selectable on this page. For most standard openings, the 0.9m bar is the right choice. Meanwhile, the 2.4m bar is the better option for wider patio door and bifold door openings.
