Oak Half Round Cover Moulding 6mm x 18mm x 2400mm
Oak half round cover moulding in 6mm x 18mm x 2400mm lengths is a compact hardwood trim used to conceal gaps and neaten joints in furniture, joinery and interior fitouts. The half round profile sits flush against flat surfaces, giving a clean, traditional finish wherever a tidy edge is needed.
Specifications
| Property | Detail |
|---|---|
| Material | European oak |
| Profile | Half round |
| Nominal Size | 6mm x 18mm |
| Length | 2400mm |
| Finish | Unfinished / ready to stain or paint |
| Use Class | Internal |
What it is used for
- Covering the expansion gap around the perimeter of hardwood or engineered wood flooring
- Concealing joints between furniture panels, cabinet carcasses and fitted units
- Adding a decorative rounded bead to skirting boards, architraves and door linings
- Neatening edges on shelving, alcove builds and general interior joinery
Fitting and handling
Allow the moulding to acclimatise in the room where it will be fixed for at least 48 hours before fitting, particularly important in rooms with underfloor heating or variable humidity. Fix using a suitable wood adhesive or panel pins; avoid over-nailing on such a slim profile as splitting can occur if pins are placed too close to the ends. Sand lightly with a fine-grit paper before applying your chosen stain, oil or lacquer, as oak takes finish well and the grain will accept colour evenly.
FAQ
Can this oak cover moulding be used over an underfloor heating expansion gap?
Yes, it is commonly used for this purpose. Fix the moulding to the skirting or wall only, not to the floor, so the floor can still move freely beneath it. Allow the moulding to acclimatise beforehand to reduce the risk of warping after fitting.
What is the difference between a cover moulding and a scotia?
A cover moulding with a half round profile presents a simple, convex bead face. A scotia is concave and sits at an angle into an internal corner. Half round cover moulding suits flat surface joints and perimeter gaps, while scotia is typically used where a floor meets a skirting board at an angle.
How many lengths do I need to cover a standard room perimeter?
Measure the total perimeter of the room in millimetres and divide by 2400 to get the number of lengths required, then add roughly 10 to 15 per cent for mitre cuts and waste. For a typical 4m x 5m room with a perimeter of around 18,000mm, eight lengths would normally be sufficient with waste allowance.
