laminate window boards

kenneth2

Has anyone any recommendations about these laminate window boards ?
We're putting in oak doors, frames and skirting,
so we were going to put in oak window or teak boards,
but we saw these oak window boards and though they were good,
supposed not to warp..
and roughly the same price as teak after the teak is varnished...

Anyone any comments on these
or maybe could someone recommend (PM me)
some suppliers of window boards, in the midlands.

Should the window boards go in after the plastering or during ?

and the second from the right is red deal...
Or so i was lead to believe ..
:-)

I know your going to see a closer section picture (a pic of the end of the board)
but that is all i got..
sorry

Those oak ones are nice,I'd stick with them.
Any laminate wood is going to be more stable than solid wood....and as your putting oak in rest of house you may as well keep it the same.
Are they expensive???

To be honest i'm not exactly sure
I was just loking at the boards to see what suited best.
he mentioned 24Euro for the laminate oak against 22 for teak,
but the teak had to be treated...

I'll find out more and post the info.

laminate boards are just boards made from smaller strips of wood with the grain reverse with each piece so that when glued it is inclined to stay straight instead of warp.

Is i take it, that these boards are a very good idea since they will not warp ?

If the boards are done right they should not warp.
When you look at the end grain.... one should be up and the other should be down in a kind of a snake pattern.
Also get them to put a rebate in the back underside of each window board to fit over the sill
