Why Wood For Worktops ?

Why Wood ?

The Material

Our Expertise

You Design It

 

Wooden work surfaces give kitchens character, warmth and style. Combined with materials such as stainless steel appliances they give the modern look while reducing the clinical feel of man made materials.

A properly finished and maintained surface will happily withstand the heat of a casserole straight from the oven. In the event of accidental damage it is almost always repairable in-situ. Its natural acidity makes it more resistant to bacterial growth than inert surfaces.

We can fabricate wooden worktops in any shape you require. We offer a wide range of detailing, including knife slots, inserts for pastry or bread boards, in-lay in contrasting timbers, lids for waste chutes and a choice of upstands.

When delivered, the timber in your worktops will already be over 100 years old. With proper care they will last another 100 and the patina of age will improve their looks - unlike man made materials.

Bordercraft worktops are crafted from solid planks of kiln dried timber, not small blocks. The result is a much more aesthetically pleasing surface that sets your kitchen apart from mass market surfaces.

Our worktops are available in any thickness between 30mm and 40mm with our standard being 40mm. Every order is a one off - made to your precise dimensions and detailing. (Maximum length 3m without join.)

From timber selection to final finishing, orders are fulfilled by our team of experience craftsmen. The whole layout is fully assembled for fine finishing before being dismantled for dispatch.
