Product technical summary for the Solid Oak  Door Lining 20mm with 12mm Planted Stop

• Planted stop: 12 mm x 65 mm, factory-machined for a square, consistent profile.
• Length options: Supplied as 2 × 2.1 m lengths and a 1.1 m head; custom lengths cut to order.
• Moisture content: 8–12% typical kiln-dried range for internal installation.
• Tolerance: ±0.5 mm thickness; machining tolerances held to trade standard for repeatable assembly.

Joinery and installation details

• Fixing method: Countersunk screws or brad nails through the lining into blockwork or timber reveal; use 2.5–3.5 mm screws at 300–400 mm centres.
• Reveal allowance: Allow 10–12 mm for plaster skim where lining is fitted before plaster; provide for final plaster depth or use packers to set face depth.
• Stop orientation: Planted stop faces into the door gap; ensure consistent face alignment on both jambs for even lipping and hardware installation.
• Scribing and trimming: Machine or plane final scribe to suit reveal variations; allowance for up to 6 mm on-site trimming without affecting planted stop integrity.
• Sealing and priming: Seal all cut ends and scribe areas immediately after installation to stabilise moisture movement and prevent staining from tannins.

Compatibility with doors and hardware

• Door types: Suits standard internal timber and composite doors; recommended leaf thickness 35–44 mm depending on stop set-back.
• Hinge routing: Stop profile provides consistent bearing surface for hinge leaf; rout hinge recesses in lining to door leaf specification.
• Strike and latch alignment: Pre-machined stop ensures consistent reveal for mortice locks and strikes; final setting may require 1–2 mm adjustment at the strike edge.

Finishing and durability

• Surface preparation: Sand to P120–P180 prior to staining or oiling for an even finish.
• Finish options: Oils, water-based lacquers or solvent stains recommended; avoid heavy-bodied coatings that obscure grain if a natural look is required.
• Performance: Solid oak resists typical dimensional movement when used in controlled internal environments; store flat and acclimatise on-site before final fixing.

Why trade professionals specify this lining

• Machined consistency for predictable installation and reduced fitting time, enabling a perfect and uniform fit of door to stop.
• Stable kiln-dried timber minimises shrinkage and squeeze during and after installation.
• Pre-cut planted stop eliminates on-site stop fabrication and improves finish uniformity.
