🪓 What is the best type of wood for a kitchen?

Wooden kitchens are all the rage right now.

It brings a warm touch to your home while staying modern. It can come in different shapes and can be used for different functionalities depending on your needs. A wooden backsplash is one way to protect the walls of your kitchen.

But in our case, we're going to focus on a wooden worktop, how does that sound to you?

Solid wood is a material that is highly resistant to bumps and splashes. So don't worry, when you're cooking, your custom worktop will withstand any impact. It also blends very well with the environment of your room because it is a material with a natural appearance!

To get an operational wooden support, you will need to varnish the worktop of your kitchen. It is not mandatory to apply oil to your worktop, but it is highly recommended for food use.

The watchword at John Steel is custom cutting. Thanks to our mini-configurator, start creating your worktop now. A precise idea for your kitchen worktop? With our advice, we help you realize your project.

Go to our configurator!

Choosing the shade and thickness

First, go to our configurator to start your custom wooden worktop. The most delicate step is the choice of material and its thickness. You have a choice of 5 species from our solid wood range.

For our example, we chose a glued beech worktop 40 mm thick. This type of wood is very easy to clean and perfect for a worktop in your kitchen.

Choosing the shape

You're probably wondering, but how will you get the perfect cut for the corner of your kitchen? Don't panic, the "Rectangle and Corner Cut" shape allows for a cut that adapts to the placement of your furniture.

But those aren't the only shapes available. You have a choice between several different cuts depending on your needs.

Choosing the dimensions

We arrive at the most important step. We will define the dimensions of your wooden worktop using the measurements you made beforehand (The different letters from A to D indicate one of the edges of your custom piece).

Attention, everything must be defined in millimeters and our materials have a limited size by our machines. Below the boxes, you will see the minimum and maximum format in "mm" for the dimensions of your worktop.

🚚 How does the delivery of your wooden worktop work?

Once the dimensions are defined and your wooden worktop suits you, all you have to do is click on the "Order" button.

From then on, you have a choice between 3 different delivery options offered to you:

Express surcharge: For quick delivery in 3 business days, it does require shipping costs to prioritize your order.
Free delivery in J+8: which remains the standard version for transporting your worktop.
Free delivery in J+15: Very interesting if you are not in a hurry to set up your project because you benefit from a 5% immediate discount on your order.
