Types Of Wood Breakfast Bar Worktop

 

There is little doubt that a wood breakfast bar or worktop will add real charm to any style of kitchen.  Irrespective of whether your kitchen is traditional or modern in style, you’re sure to be able to find a wood worktop or breakfast bar to suit.  At Wood and Beyond, we have a broad range of worktops in stock and ready to deliver, including a broad choice of oak options, iroko, bamboo, walnut and zebrano.  Each of these worktops boasts it’s own unique features and characteristics and all come in a choice of lengths, widths and thicknesses so you can create the precise look you’re hoping for in your kitchen.

Our premium oak worktops range from light, cool beige colours to rich honey tones and are adaptable to pretty much any style of kitchen or kitchen units.  Our walnut worktops include American and African premium options in brown and black, which are exotic and exclusive looking worktops and breakfast bars which will add charm and an exquisite finishing touch to any cutting edge or designer-led kitchen.  We also stock European walnut worktops if you prefer a walnut wood option from closer to home.

Also available from our range, are iroko, bamboo and zebrano.  Bamboo, although it’s technically a grass and not a wood at all, is a really appealing worktop material, which is eco-friendly, affordable and hard wearing to boot. Zebrano, as the name suggests sports distinctive zebra-like stripes in its colouration and is an extremely appealing breakfast bar or worktop option that will work well, no matter the style of your kitchen.

When it comes to fitting your wood breakfast bar or worktop, if you’re planning a DIY installation you can either order your product pre-oiled or you can oil it before you fit it.  Either way, it’s essential to make sure that every surface of your worktop is well oiled before fitting, even the edges.  This will ensure that your worktop resists any spills and wear and tear, helping it to stay looking good for longer.  When it comes to ongoing maintenance, you should aim to oil your worktop every three months or so to make sure it stays in tip-top condition.

When fitting a new wood worktop, there are various features that will help raise your worktop from simply looking great to looking absolutely spectacular.  At Wood and Beyond, we offer bespoke cutting and modeling options to help make your worktop look really exceptional.  Even having your worktop or breakfast bar cut to size professionally can make a difference to the end result, but if you’re looking for an extra special touch, why not avail of one of our bespoke services?  Our hot rods installation; our tap hole cutting; radius corner cutting; butt joints or drainage grooves are all affordable and appealing finishing touches that are available to order when you buy your worktop.  Each of these bespoke professional services will truly make your worktop look a million dollars.

Finally, it’s really important to make sure that you protect your new wood breakfast bar or worktop from heat damage, by using a good quality pan or pot stand, which will help avoid accidental burns.
