Dolls House Floorboard Application Guide

(All examples below show the Cherry wood floorboard material)

Dolls House Floorboards -  Application Dolls House Floorboards -  Application

Trim the ends of the floorboards with a sharp craft knife flush with the edge of the floor. If desired the finished floor boards can be lightly sanded.
The floorboards can be left natural or finished with most common wood finishing products if preferred. We recommend using wood stain and an antique coloured wax polish.

The Material
The Floorboard strip is made from real hardwood veneer which has a smooth finish and includes an iron-on adhesive backing. We have found this to be by far the best wood for 1:12 scale floorboards as it is easy to apply and produces a very realistic effect with minimal finishing.

Finishing
The floorboards can be left natural or finished using woodstain and/or antique coloured wax polish if desired. The wood has a very smooth surface and wax polish alone will give it a very nice finish, without the need for varnishing although varnish can be used if preferred.   The Floorboard strip is 11mm wide approx which is suitable for  1/12th scale - for 1/24th scale the strip can be cut to half its width.)

Note about Dolls House Lighting
If you intend to fit lighting in the dolls house it is usually easier to do this before fitting the floorboards and other decoration so the wiring can be hidden underneath. Usually small grooves are cut in the floor to accommodate the wires from ceiling lights. It is a good idea to fit the floorboards in line with these grooves so that if you need to access the wiring in the future you can do so easily by removing just one floorboard. They can usually be removed quite easily by heating the adhesive with an iron whilst gently lifting them. The floorboards can then be re-applied in the usual way. This is a big advantage over other types of flooring material which would have to be completely stripped and replaced from scratch.

Please see our dolls house lighting and wiring guide for further information.
