Our wooden kitchen worktops are precisely assembled, constructed from
40mm solid timber staves and carefully crafted to ensure maximum strength
and durability throughout years of constant use. The kiln dried timber
is finely oiled to create a beautiful water repellant surface that
will mellow with age. After the initial treatment only simple maintenance
is required to retain the looks and characteristics of solid wooden
kitchen worktops. Common sense care and an occasional re-oiling will
help to maintain the beauty and water resistance of wooden kitchen 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. You will be spoilt for choice when planning with our wooden kitchen worktops. We offer nine different attractive types of wood ranging from beech, the classical and commonly used wood surface at a lower price level, to 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.

Wooden kitchen worktops are made from solid staves with a moisture content of 10 - 11% at time of manufacture. They are designed to be used in normally heated, furnished domestic interiors. Timber is a natural material and is affected by changes in temperature and humidity. It expands and contracts naturally across the grain. Observance of the correct installation procedure carried out in properly conditioned interiors will prevent any problems from occurring. The manufacturers will not be liable for failure of wooden kitchen worktops that arises from poor installation, the wrong fittings and materials being used, inappropriate or adverse site conditions or any other failure to follow the installation procedures and requirements set out in this guide and the care and maintenance routines. 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. Danish oil is the best for the re-oiling of the wooden worktops surface and instructions are provided. 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. |
