Black Olive Solid Oak T Bar

Black Olive T-Bar – Solid Oak Door Bar

The black olive t-bar is a solid oak door bar for finishing the join between two hard floors at the same height. 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 50mm wide. The top face sits 5mm above the floor at the crown and tapers to floor level at the edges. The supplied fixing track adjusts to floor thicknesses of 14 to 18mm, covering the standard range for solid and engineered wood installations.

Where to Use a Black Olive Solid Oak Door Bar

The T-bar profile is for doorways and open-plan thresholds where both floors sit at the same height. Specifically, it suits internal doorways where solid or engineered wood runs between rooms, and wider double doorway openings where a flooring change creates a visible join without a height step between surfaces.

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 bar set against a lighter floor. Where there is a height difference between the two floors, the Black Olive Ramp Bar is the correct profile to use.

Fitting and Cutting

Screw or glue the fixing track to the subfloor in the doorway gap. Once both floors are fitted up to the track, push the T-Bar onto 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.

Cut to length with a chopsaw or jigsaw.

Lengths and Colour Matching

The black olive -bar is available in 0.9m and 2.4m, selectable on this page. For most standard internal doorways, the 0.9m bar is the right choice. The 2.4m bar is the better option for wider double doorway openings.
