Jatoba Stain Solid Oak T Profile

Jatoba T-Bar – Solid Oak Door Bar

The jatoba t-bar is a solid oak door bar for finishing the join between two hard floors at the same height. The Jatoba finish is a deep dark reddish-brown with strong grain lines running through the surface. In particular, the rich red tone and the depth of the finish give the bar a bold, striking appearance. No printed finish replicates it.

The bar is 50mm wide and sits 5mm above the floor surface. 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 Jatoba Solid Oak Door Bar

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

Overall, Jatoba works well in bold, traditional interiors – rooms with dark cherry or mahogany-toned floors, rich skirting, and warm finishes throughout. It also reads well as a strong contrast bar set against a lighter floor. Where the floor has an exposed edge with no adjoining surface, the Jatoba End 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 while the adhesive sets. Alternatively, glue and weigh the bar down until the adhesive sets.

Cut to length with a chopsaw or jigsaw.

Lengths and Colour Matching

The jatoba t-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. Meanwhile, the 2.4m bar is the better option for wider double doorway openings.
