Botanically known as ‘Quercus Petraea’ or ‘Quercus Robur’, European Oak is grown mostly in the Northern Hemisphere – primarily throughout Europe – though the species also extends to North Africa and Asia Minor.
Visibly, it is distinguishable by appearance with a light-coloured sapwood and a light to mellow golden heartwood.
Naturally, it contains a significant degree of strength and density making it ideal for heavy structural use.
We find that European Oak is easy to work with. It machines and screws comfortably, retaining variable adhesive properties. We can apply a range of stains and polishes to attain the desired finish.
You will find that we use European Oak primarily for external joinery products including windows and doors.
European Oak can be prone to shrinkage and is susceptible to movement in variable moisture conditions. Our friendly and professional team of experts are happy to discuss if European Oak is suitable for your joinery requirements.
