Real Wood Kitchen Worktops FAQS
1. Why do wood worktops darken over time?
Wood darkens naturally through a process called oxidation. This happens as the wood is exposed to light and air, causing chemical changes in the surface that deepen its colour. This natural darkening enhances the wood’s character, making your worktop increasingly unique and warm-looking as it ages.
2. How do wood worktops suit different kitchen styles?
Wood’s natural texture and warmth make it extremely versatile. It complements traditional, rustic kitchens with its organic feel and visible grain, while also working beautifully in modern, minimalist spaces by adding softness and warmth to sleek surfaces. Wood worktops can be finished in different ways to highlight or tone down their natural features, fitting a wide range of design aesthetics.
3. Are real wood worktops durable enough for busy kitchens?
Yes, real wood kitchen worktops are exceptionally durable and suitable for everyday use in the kitchen. They can handle general wear and tear well when properly maintained. However, you should avoid cutting or chopping directly on the wood surface; always use a chopping board to protect the worktop from deep knife marks and other avoidable damage.
4. Are the worktops ready to install straight away?
Our wood worktops come pre-oiled with a smooth, moisture-resistant finish to reduce installation time. However, for best results, you’ll need to oil all edges, ends, and surfaces during installation to provide extra protection against moisture and wear.
5. Are wood worktops suitable for kitchen sinks and appliances?
Yes, wood worktops can be integrated with undermount sinks and appliances, but it’s important to ensure that edges are properly sealed and maintained to prevent water damage.
