American Red Oak 240 x 42 Dressed All Round

Our 240 x 42mm American Red Oak represents the peak of timber engineering and natural beauty. Sourced from sustainable North American forests, each board is kiln-dried to ensure long-term stability—a critical factor for timber of this scale. As a "Dressed All Round" (DAR) product, it is professionally planed to a smooth, square-edged finish, providing a massive, ready-to-use canvas for architects and master builders.

The sheer scale of the 240mm width allows for an incredible, panoramic view of the Red Oak "cathedral" grain, while the 42mm thickness provides the density and weight required for high-load applications. This profile is frequently specified for luxury residential projects where "oversized" elements are desired, such as thick floating stair treads or a single-board mantelpiece. Its porous structure ensures that even at this size, stains and oils penetrate deeply and evenly, allowing you to achieve a flawless, high-end finish that highlights the timber's unique organic character.

Key Benefits
