Lechner Solid wood worktops 
Wood is a natural product, which, with regular care, becomes more and more beautiful over the years. This living material feels good, spreads warmth and guarantees a pleasant room climate. Wood can be repaired, altered or revamped. No one can resist the atmosphere of solid wood. Its inimitable surface urges you to touch it at once. Wood used in living-rooms guarantees a natural and pleasant room climate and therefore contributes to people’s wellbeing. You will be spoilt for choice when planning with the Abaro by Lechner programme. This programme includes nine different attractive types of wood ranging from beech, the classical and commonly used wood surface at a lower price level, to American walnut which belongs to the premium price segment. A speciality of this programme is bamboo which is a kind of grass in the botanical sense. Bamboo can be reproduced very quickly and is permanently available. It is used in different fields all over the world. There is no raw material which is harder, more elastic and more robust. The bamboo of our collection has a warm caramel colour.

Solid wood is very easy to clean, has an antistatic effect and therefore does not pick up dust. Solid wood is a hygroscopic material which adapts to the indoor climate conditions and can thus absorb and emit humidity. Therefore, make sure that the room climate is well-balanced and that the relative humidity is 50±5 %. If solid wood is constantly exposed to a high degree of humidity, the worktop tends to distort and to change in dimension. Household appliances which steadily emit heat downwards (e.g. permanent use of a coffee machine) must be put on a heat-resisting pad. Please adhere to that, as otherwise discolouration, dehydration and cracks may arise at some points. However, smaller cracks in solid wood are very natural. Depending on the demands (abrasion, scouring), the solid wood must be regularly re-oiled at certain intervals so that the surface keeps its silky gloss and protective function. Suitable care oil can be ordered with Lechner via specialised dealers. Detailed instructions for the re-oiling of the surface can be found in the care set. Attention: There is danger of auto-ignition with used oily rags. Burn up used fabric or paper rags or store them in hermetically sealed glass bins. Remove little dirt by means of water and a soft kitchen sponge. Remove normal dirt by means of washing-up liquid or soap water. Do not use caustic or scrubbing detergents. Treat stubborn spots by means of an abrasive sponge (P 180) or abrasive paper (P 240). The above mentioned cleaning methods (especially abrasion) normally require repeated re-oiling. Remaining moisture or liquids on the worktop for a longer period of time (wet sponge, plates, cups, etc. ) must be avoided and, in particular, immediately removed on the joint. Immediate re-oiling is essential in case of appearance of water stains. |
