Care and Maintenance
Storage
Solid wood worktops should be laid flat, fully supported in its original packaging under cover in a dry room. The relative humidity of the room where the worktop is to be fixed should be between 40% and 65%. All wet trades should be finished and a sufficient period of time allowed for natural drying out. Do not store vertically, in/or near damp areas, or heat sources such as radiators, boilers,etc.
Maintenance
Each worktop is sanded to 120 grit at the mill. This eliminates the need for very heavy sanding. It is recommended the top is lightly sanded then oiled with Danish oil, wiping away any excess oil with a dry clean cloth, prior to fitting. If the surface becomes lifeless or dirty, scour with a green nylon scouring pad dipped in danish oil, wiping away any excess with a dry clean cloth.
Badly soiled or worn tops can be lightly sanded, remove dust then apply Danish oil which should be allowed to soak in for 30 minutes. Wipe away excess ensuring no puddles of oil dry on the surface.
The worktop should be treated with Danish oil monthly for the first six months after installation, and every six months thereafter. If a worktop is fitted over a Belfast type sink, Danish oil should continue to be applied monthly or when beading of water no longer occurs on the worktop surface.
Bowing
If your worktop has a slight bow, then a suggestion for dealing with it is to screw the back edge to the support first and carefully clamp the front edge with a screw clamp before fixing to the front of the support. Small cracks in the wood may occur.
Note Natural Product
As a natural product splits and shakes can occur in all species. These can be exagerated or caused when a worktop has been subject to excessive moisture from sinks, over-filled kettles or spillages not wiped up promptly or if not maintained correctly.
