Plastering or tiling should be completed after installation
Regular use of the care and maintenance kit should ensure worktops stay in good condition
Installation is relatively easy, for either a competent DIY enthusiast or recognised kitchen installer to carry out
No specialist tooling required. Can be cut using normal woodworking routers and blades
Plan the worktop layout to ensure joints don’t fall on or within 100mm of cut-outs
Timber work surfaces must not be installed in unoccupied premises
If wood worktops are to be stored prior to installation, they should always be stored at room temperature away from all sources of heat and moisture, on a sound level surface horizontally with a minimum of four timber battens equally spaced in between each worktop and on the floor
Never store in a garage or an unfinished building and always install within 7 days of delivery
Seal regularly in the first couple of weeks after installation to avoid the worktops drying out
To test if a work surface requires further sealing, apply a drop of water to the surface, if the water pools the sealing requires further attention. If the water runs away, no more sealing is require
The manufacturer recommends ‘Liberon’ oil for timber worktops. Linseed and teak oil is also suitable. After the worktop has been cut to size and all cut outs made apply at least 6 coats of oil with a clean, lint free cloth. Apply each coat within 12 hours of each other and ensure the oil is applied generously but evenly to both sides and edges. Pay particular attention to exposed end grain. After completion of the worktop installation give the top a final light coat of ‘Liberon’ oil and pass to the client the Customer Care Sheet that will advise them how to continue the maintenance process
