Unfinished Solid Oak T Bar

Unfinished T-Bar – Solid Oak Door Bar

The unfinished t-bar is a solid oak door bar for finishing the join between two hard floors at the same height. 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 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 an Unfinished 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, 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 a height difference between the two floors, the Unfinished 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 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 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.
