DURABILITY OF WOOD
Despite wood’s softness, it can actually last much longer than its sturdier counterparts. Some wood requires regular maintenance, but even the most neglected of worktops can be brought back to life.

As wood is a natural material, it will continue to expand and contract with changes in humidity. Changes in wood moisture content can be due to many factors including the climate, air conditioning and appliances such as dishwashers, ovens and kettles. The wood will expand with increased air moisture and contract as it decreases. Movement across the grain can be up to 1mm per 100mm. This movement is quite normal and when correctly installed, this movement will not be noticeable.
