Benefits Of Worktops Cut To Size

 

If you’re planning a DIY kitchen project the temptation is to do everything yourself, but ordering a wooden worktop with bespoke features can take an ordinary kitchen truly into the realms of top class.  Even if you’re not planning to change your kitchen units or cupboard doors, you can achieve a whole new look by planning your worktop to a tee.  Whether you choose a light or dark coloured wood will depend on the final look you want to create, but planning little bespoke extras can make a huge difference.  Even having your worktop cut to size will make your job much neater than if you were to cut it at home, but if your budget allows it’s well worth going beyond just that.

If you want your worktop cut to size prior to delivery, you can specify your exact length and width in the knowledge that the cutting will be precise and professionally finished, enabling you to simply slot your worktop into place when it arrives.  With the right cutting equipment, your worktop supplier will make sure that all your measurements are respected to the most minute detail and you’ll have no risk of surprises commonly associated with cutting your worktop at home.

But beyond simply making sure your worktop fits like a glove, aspects like decorative edging, protective rods, rounded corners, professionally cut tap, sink and hob holes, as well as drainage grooves and end caps will really help take your project to a whole new level.   At Wood and Beyond we can make your worktop project look a million dollars, thanks to our bespoke services.

Irrespective of whether you simply want to make sure your new wooden worktop fits perfectly or whether you want to add practical or design features, our accessible and affordable bespoke service will make it happen.  The likes of the installation of hot rods, for example, is a really practical feature you can add to your wooden worktop, which brings with it an extremely stylish appeal.  You choose whether you want your hot rods fitted on a fixed or a removable basis, but either way, you can be certain that you’ll always have somewhere safe to lay those hot plates, pots and pans, without fear of damaging your new worktop.

When it comes to sinks, hobs and taps, it can be a real fiddle to get the holes just right, but not when you choose our bespoke hole cutting service.  Thanks to our state of the art cutting equipment, we can make sure that any holes you need cutting in your new worktop are cut with the precision you need to make sure that fitting your appliances, sinks and taps is as easy as A,B,C.  When it comes to drainage, one of the big niggles about wooden worktops is often the lack of a draining board if you want a stand-alone sink.  If you’ve opted for a Belfast style or under mounted sink, Wood and Beyond’s smooth and perfectly aligned drainage grooves will make sure any water around your washing up area orientates itself perfectly towards your sink.

Add to these services, our butt joint connector bolt hole cutting, radius corner cutting and ellipse ends, and there really is no end to how you can make sure your new wooden worktop truly is “made to measure”.
