Solid wood countertops

Why the hardwood countertops are the perfect choice for your kitchen

Aesthetics.

• The hardwood countertops will grant your kitchen that warm natural appearance you always longed for. The wide variety of hardwood species that we offer translates into a similarly wide variety of colors and shades, allowing you to find the perfect match for your kitchen and home. Expressions of Mother Nature’s play, individual variations in color and grain patterns, or individual marks will further add personality and make your top unique. Unlike many other materials that are heavily promoted by diverse fashion trends, the hardwood, due to its friendly and familiar glow, remains a choice that will always be in fashion, no matter how the interior architecture will evolve. There is no human-made material that can compete with the hardwood’s naturalness, variety, and beauty. There is neither another material that can better grant us that sense of “home comfort” the way the wood does. Hardwood countertops and kitchen island tops blend naturally with wood cabinetry and hardwood floorings, visually tying the kitchen together in a harmonious whole.

 Functionality.

• Despite its hardness, the wood surface does not dull the knife-edges. Because it represents a natural material, with a minimum of chemical, synthetic components, it is incredibly safe in contact with foods. Thus, the wood countertops become the Chef’s favorite option when it comes to cutting, slicing and chopping, preparing and rolling dough, and many other kitchen duties. The feedback we got from many customers, contractors, and business partners suggests that no other countertop surface can offer a similar multi-functionality. The hardwood surfaces considerably attenuate the clatter even in the noisiest houses and provide a surface much gentler with porcelain, glass and crystal items than most other materials.

Durability.

• If cared for, there is no reason your countertop wouldn’t last a lifetime. Your children will likely be using it, but, as it ages, the wood will get a more attractive look. The European beech, the oak and the maple that we proudly supply are counted among the most durable wood species available. Every stave you can see within our wood countertops was carefully selected before being processed into butcher block-type panels. Besides this fact, our full warranty against delamination will further reinforce the warranty for your countertop life span.

Easy maintenance.

• The mineral oil that we recommend for finishing offers a reasonably good overall protection. Most of the stains that might occur can be removed by using a moist cloth, while the persisting stains, scratches, and scars will be easily removed by sanding the area where they occur. A new coat of oil will make your countertop look new again; in fact, the wood countertop represents the only renewable area from your entire kitchen.

Hygiene.

• ·Scientific studies proved that the wood surfaces are much less prone to bacterial colonization than plastic, laminate or stainless steel surfaces. The studies concerning the micro organisms such as Escherichia coli, Staphylococus aureus, Campylobacter jejunii, Listeria monocytogines, Salmonella sp. found that the great majority of human-made surfaces (polyester plastic, laminates and granite) allowed the bacteria to persist and multiply (although they were cleaned and disinfected). The wood surfaces killed the bacteria within 3 minutes, without any external intervention. These bactericide properties the wood chemical structure actively exhibits are likely to promote the wood tops as the first choice of a health-conscious person.
