materials the kitchen worktop can be made from. One of the most popular choices are solid wood worktops which are manufactured in a number of different ways including - Full plank (or stave) wooden worktop or finger jointed construction of the worktop (commonly called butcher block style). As a company specializing in solid wood worktops we have the most extensive range of wooden countertops - solid oak worktops, walnut worktops, beech worktops, ash worktops, cherry worktops and many more different species of wood. Along with the above traditional wooden worktops, we have a wide range of exotic wood worktops including wenge worktops , zebrano worktops, iroko worktops. The kitchen is not the only place where the wooden worktops can be used. It is a very popular solution for making wood shelves, tables, benches, bar tops, desktops and more. Before the solid wood worktop is fitted, it needs to be treated to ensure long life, durability and less maintenance. We recommend that all real wood worktops are treated with Danish Worktop Oil at least 3 times on both the top and bottom. It is essential that all solid wood worktops receive the correct amount of treatment. The exposed edges of the worktops can be decorated in a manner ranging from plane to very chunky profiles once they are fitted. The wooden worktops can be fabricated to accommodate sink, hob, dispensers, sockets, drain boards or even a granite slate for a more modern and stylish look, especially in a contrast between black granite tile and with the golden color of an oak worktop. As the wooden worktops are made from a wide range of wood types, they may vary in price. Normally the most affordable worktops are the oak worktops and beech worktops with butcher block type of manufacturing, as they are the most commonly used and easy to source. Normally the worktops made from full planks are more expensive, because of the higher price of the raw material prior manufacturing. The exotic types of wood can also be quite pricey, because they are rare and difficult to source, especially wenge worktops and zebrano worktops. All wooden worktops in our range are made from hardwood. As you can tell by the name, the hardwood worktops are much harder than the softwood worktops and have more complex structure, even though all hardwood worktops have their own characteristics and they vary in density and weight. One of the most popular types - Oak Worktops have great strength and hardness and beautiful grain marks. The oak worktops are also very resistant to insect attacks, because of its tannin content. The oak worktops are a good example of achieving a beautiful finish and durability at a reasonable cost. Another example of a nice looking and very durable real wood worktop is the iroko worktop. Initially the iroko worktop is yellow, but darkens very quick to a richer brown colour over time. Iroko worktop is hard wearing and durable and does not require regular treatment, because it has a very high content of natural oils.
