Slimline Solid Oak Floating Shelf – Limed Oak

Product Description

We will cut your slimline oak floating shelf from wide American White Oak stock. Planed square on all sides and finished by hand in a liming wax that beautifully enhances the grain. All of our limed oak slimline floating shelves are handmade to order. Use them to display your favourite ornaments and keep your must have books close to hand. Even fill an alcove with them for masses of practical yet beautiful storage.

We make our slimline floating wall shelves in a range of depths and cut them to your specified width. Our thin oak shelves are suitable for solid walls, plasterboard walls and dot & dab walls. We produce this shelf in 20mm thick solid oak. For each of our types of slimline oak floating shelf we can provide widths from 20cm to 150cm. Please note that with thin, solid oak shelves you can sometimes see an amount of bowing down the length of some shelves, this is more evident in longer lengths and we will use stock that reduces this where possible. The tolerance that we allow for this is +/- 5mm per/m.

To order, simply select your fixing type and shelf depth. Then enter your measurements into the width box to calculate the shelf price. Add to your basket and we’ll do the rest. We cut your oak floating shelves to the exact size you specify. We pre-drill the mounting holes as appropriate and carefully finish the shelves by hand. Our team then send your order out to you with all the necessary fixings for simple home installation.

You can find a more detailed description of our square edge American White Oak on our finish buying guide. For delivery information please see our delivery page.

Finish Variation

Please note that the limed finish can vary in its appearance from what is shown to a significantly darker colour. This is dependent on the way the wax takes to the wood. If the colour of your shelf is a specific requirement then we highly recommend ordering a sample first. Please contact us if you would like any more information.
