Solid Wood

Solid wood worktops and upstands offer a natural and timeless look for kitchens. Solid wood worktops are made from a single piece of natural wood, such as oak, beech, walnut, or maple. It’s important to note that solid wood worktops require regular maintenance to keep them in optimal condition, such as, cleaning, oiling and sealing. During installation, solid wood worktops are typically cut to the desired size and shape, and any necessary cutouts for sinks or appliances are made. They are then fixed onto the cabinetry using appropriate fixings or brackets. Upstands are installed in the same manner as with laminate worktops, either by adhesive or fixing them to the wall. It’s worth mentioning that solid wood worktops are sensitive to changes in temperature and humidity. To prevent warping or cracking, it’s important to maintain a stable environment in the kitchen and avoid excessive exposure to moisture. Proper care and maintenance will help retain the beauty and longevity of solid wood worktops and upstands in your kitchen.
