Wooden kitchen worktops installation
Follow this guide for a perfect wooden kitchen worktops installation
that will provide a lifetime of good service. The guide explains and sets
out the requirements and procedures for fitting.
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 wooden kitchen worktops 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 wooden worktops 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. |
