Solid Wood Countertops Compared

There’s no getting away from the fact that a solid wood worktop will add real charm to pretty much any kitchen, but how do you go about choosing what might work best for you?  In order to help, we’ve prepared this comparison of the worktops we have on offer.

At Wood and Beyond, we have a broad range of oak, iroko, walnut, bamboo and zebrano worktops to choose from.  In order to give you an idea of the options available, we’ll look at each wood species in turn.

Oak worktops

At the time of writing, we have 16 different oak worktop options available on our website for immediate delivery.  The prices range from £86.45 for a 2m premium oak worktop to £218.50 for a 3m full stave premium oak worktop.  We have also put together what we’ve called a Premium Oak Worktop ‘Bundle’, which gives you a 3m worktop plus a 4m worktop and even includes the upstands.  This bundle is offered at the amazing price of £310.65.  In our selection we have premium, natural and rustic oak as well as a full stave option, which means there is something for every budget.  The thicknesses range from the standard 38mm to 40mm.  The widths on offer span from the standard 620mm to an extra wide 950mm; giving you all the flexibility you’re likely to need to complete your project.

Iroko worktops

At the moment on our website we have 5 iroko worktops on offer, which once again are ready for immediate delivery.  The selection ranges from a rustic iroko 2m length, by 62cm width and 38mm thickness, at £80.85 to an enormous 3m x 95cm x 38mm premium iroko worktop at £227.05.  In between there is a standard width, premium iroko worktop, a rustic iroko worktop and a full staves iroko worktop on offer.  If you’re looking for a particularly long run of worktop at a great price, then our rustic iroko 4m x 62cm x 38mm at £160.55 is particularly hard to beat.

Walnut worktops

Currently a highly popular worktop option, we hold a selection of 17 walnut worktops in stock, ready for dispatch.  The walnuts we have chosen for this collection hail from Africa, America and Europe and range from mid brown tones to black.   With more and more people seeking a walnut worktop, we truly believe that our range, which starts at £124.40 and goes up to £302.10 provides something for everyone.

Bamboo worktops

We currently have three bamboo worktops on offer, two horizontal options and one vertical option.  Bamboo is a great alternative to the traditional woods delivering similar qualities to the hardwoods, but at low cost from both a financial and environmental viewpoint.

At Wood and Beyond we also have a Zebrano worktop, which, as the name suggests, features dark stripes on a light background.  Bearing a strong resemblance to a Zebra, this worktop’s heavy and strong properties together with its rich colour make it extremely popular, although it has to be said it is at the top end of our price range.
