Wooden bench tops

4 years ago

I love the look of wooden bench tops but I'm concerned that wood is too delicate. We do like to cook so will be taking hot things out of a hot oven etc Any advice? Thanks!

Hi Em, looking after timber benchtops does require extra care to be taken; though they can always be re-polished. It is also important that your tops are properly polished at the begining to give them the best protection. We have prepared a buyers Guide at our website here in this link which you may find helpful. All the best, Malcolm

We have Caesarstone in Misty Carrera on our island. It has a slight warm gray hue, which works well in our kitchen, and it's very durable against us and our kids.

How about butcher block instead? IKEA and the big box stores sell it for countertops, the price is decent, and you won't have as many issues with buckling, water damage, or what to do with the edge as you would with the ply. If the edges of the ply get wet, or if any seam around a sink gets wet, the plywood will "blow" and you will have to replace it all, anyway.

If you mean a seam? Maximum length they can make a piece without a seam is determined by the length of the slab available.
