Timber Worktops

Timber worktops can be a delight visually and affordable to boot..

Oak, Cherry, Walnut and Maple are regarded as the most popular choices. Beech can also be a very effective timber choice - plus it’s comparatively cheap.

Timber worktops tend to be relatively lightweight and age well. Scratches and marks can be sanded away. However, if left, the timber can begin to look tatty and worn. To ensure good condition, give the worktop a coat of oil every three months - this should maintain a good level of water protection. 

A real plus for timber worktops is that they can be easily shaped to fit unusual unit styles.
