| Description: hand-stained mouldings of oak |
| Material: OCR
Material |
| |
OCR (Oakleaf Cellular Resin), a specially formulated moulding material comprising rigid polyurethane foam, cast from oak originals. The closed cell structure of the material is inert once moulded, so neither absorbs nor emits moisture or vapour. Can withstand temperatures of up to 100 degrees centigrade, beyond which surface blistering might occur |
| Dimensions |
| |
supplied in approx 75, 100, 130, 150, 170, 200 or 345mm widths, x 15/40mm thickness, x 3m lengths, with moulded/presentation face and edges, with flat, non-presentation backs |
| Standard Finish |
| |
jacobean oak, achieved through the hand-application of wood stains to a paint-primed surface, to which a top coat of lacquer is applied, achieving an antiqued effect. All solvents used in the finishing process have fully evaporated prior to packing and despatch |
| Density |
| |
density approximately 100kgs/m3. |
| Weather |
| |
being closed cell, the material is virtually unaffected by weather. However, the pigments within stain finishes will fade with time, resulting in an ‘aged’ appearance over a period of years. Alternatively, a paint finish could be used, to avoid this effect. It is important to protect the cellular core from sunlight (UV), so cut ends should be sealed with filler or paint, or concealed by butt joint |
| Installation |
| |
sharp, small-toothed woodworking tools are recommended for use during installation, in conjunction with wall plugs and srews, the latter counter-sunk beneath the surface and concealed using our mock oak pegs. As with wood, dust masks should be worn when cutting |
| Expansion/contraction |
| |
a small amount of expansion/contraction (less than 1%) should be expected from the effects of heat, but none from the effects of moisture |
