Product Information

Solid wood worktops are a natural product, dried to 8- 10% moisture content, which is fine with humidity levels of 50-60%. Because wood is a living material it can expand and contract according to the surrounding humidity levels. For example, an 85% humidity level can cause a worktop to expand up to 10mm in the width. If the worktop is exposed to different moisture levels on the surface and underside, it will start bowing. By turning the worktop over and allowing it to rest, it will become level again. When the wood is dried, small air pockets can occur, appearing as small cracks on the surface. This is a natural occurrence and can also happen as a result of changes in temperature or humidity. Small cracks can be repaired with wood filler.

Small cracks are a natural part of solid wood and do not constitute grounds for complaint
