FAQs
What type of oil finish is recommended?
It is recommended to use a food-safe mineral oil or a specific wood countertop oil. Always follow the manufacturer's instructions for application and curing times.
Can I cut a sink or hob into the worktop?
Yes, you can cut openings for sinks or hobs. Measure carefully and use appropriate tools. It's advisable to seal the cut edges thoroughly with oil to prevent moisture ingress.
How often should I re-oil the worktop?
The frequency depends on usage. Typically, re-oiling every 6-12 months is sufficient, or when the surface starts to look dry or water no longer beads on contact.
Is the worktop pre-finished?
The worktop is fine sanded but does not come pre-finished. An oil finish is recommended before use to protect the wood and enhance its appearance.
Can I use this worktop in a bathroom?
Yes, it can be used as a vanity top. Ensure it is properly sealed and maintained to withstand bathroom humidity and moisture.
Why are the colors and grains different on each worktop?
Solid oak wood is a natural material, and variations in color, grain pattern, and knots are inherent. These variations make each piece unique.
What is the thickness of the worktop?
The worktop has a thickness of 4 cm.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Preparation: Ensure the base or cabinets where the worktop will be installed are level and stable.

- Spills: Wipe up spills immediately to prevent staining and moisture absorption.
- Maintenance: Periodically reapply a wood oil or sealant as needed, especially if the surface appears dry or after heavy use, to maintain its protective layer and appearance.
