Unfinished Solid Oak End Bar

Unfinished End Bar – Solid Oak Door Bar

The unfinished end bar is a solid oak door bar that gives a neat finish at the exposed edge of a solid or engineered wood floor. It leaves the factory as raw natural oak with no stain, no lacquer, and no applied finish. In particular, this means you can sand, stain, oil, or lacquer it on site to match your floor exactly. The pale natural grain and clean wood surface take treatments evenly and consistently.

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 an Unfinished 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.

Overall, the Unfinished bar is the right choice when none of the pre-finished colours match the floor precisely. It also suits situations where the floor is being finished on site and the bar needs to match the same treatment. Where there is an adjoining floor at the same height, the Unfinished T-Bar is the correct profile. Where the adjoining floor sits lower, the Unfinished Ramp Bar is the right choice instead.

Fitting and Cutting

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 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 unfinished 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.
