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
worktops. Common sense care and an occasional re-oiling will
help to maintain the beauty and water resistance of the wood, year
after year.
Prime and Rustic Steamed Beech
Popular wooden kitchen worktops seen a lot over recent years in all types of furniture. It is pale, light tan wood with darker colour flecks which add to the character. It is between Maple and Ash in style and colour. |

Oak kitchen worktops
English Oak is extremely strong and durable and usually has some 'character', particularly in long lengths. The worktops may include a few small clean knots. Oak will simply last forever with maintenance and will consistently look better year by year. |
Cherry
kitchen worktops
In our experience one of the best wooden kitchen worktops. After six months the wood will deepen in colour until it becomes a rich, bronze, ochre. It is a perfect choice for kitchens, particularly if you are looking for a darker wood with a decorative grain pattern. |

Maple
An excellent straight grained white wood. The colour and grain pattern tends to be very consistent, wide and uniform apart from a bit of colour here and there. It is also very popular as a wood for kitchen doors. |
Iroko
Stable for wooden worktops, solid, heavy timber from Africa, similar to teak. It is naturally oily so has a head start for the maintenance programme. It starts pale brown but deepens quite quickly to a rich brown. Often used as a contrasting wood to compliment paler cabinets or floor. |

Follow this guide for a perfect installation
that will provide a lifetime of good service. The guide explains and sets
out the requirements and procedures for fitting.
These tops 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 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.
Installation and Care kits.
The Installation kits are required for the proper installation, while
the Care Kit will help you to maintain them for years to come.
The Installation and Care Kits need to be specified at the time of order.
They can be found in the on-line store.
The Installation kits include:
- slotted steel stretcher brackets and screws to fix down the tops
- low modulus (flexible) clear silicone sealer for sealing joints, to
sinks, to walls and to adjacent furniture
- edge seal, a flexible brush-on material to provide moisture resistance
to all concealed edges, and grain and cutouts
- bolts and biscuit joints to align and clamp up joints between pieces
of worktops
- oil for sealing, finishing and maintaining hardwood worktops
- a moisture barrier to protect the underside from steam and moisture
produced by built-under dishwashers, washing machines and microwaves.
