Question 1

Can I order a length shorter than 0.6 m?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Nottage Timber Merchants accepts bespoke orders, including shorter lengths and non-standard sizes. Contact the yard in Bridgend directly to discuss your requirements before placing an order.

Question 2

Are the knots and checks in rustic oak a defect?

Accepted Answer

No. Rustic grade oak is selected specifically for its natural character. Knots, shakes, and grain variation are inherent features of the grade and contribute to the appearance, not signs of structural weakness in a mantel shelf application.

Question 3

Can this shelf be used with an LED strip light rebate?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Nottage Timber Merchants can cut a rebate along the underside or rear edge of the shelf to accept LED strip lighting. Request this as a bespoke option when ordering and provide the channel dimensions required by your lighting system.
