The 40mm thick solid oak worktops need to be oiled before installation. Basically, oils which cure, e.g. by oxidation are suitable. So Olive oil and others are not suitable for oiling wood surfaces or these oils are always moisturizing which is not desirable (who likes oil on the clothes?). Here the Auro countertop oil No. 108 on linseed oil basis was used. Important when handling linseed oil: cloths soaked with linseed oil can ignite themselves. Therefore, store the linseed oil rags in a tinplate container and / or burn in an oven.
That sounds more dangerous than it is. Linseed oil is a natural product which hardens by chemical reaction with atmospheric oxygen. This creates heat. The linseed oil is applied to the worktops with a foam roller fed and evenly. The oil must stand on the worktop so that the wood can absorb the oil within a maximum of 30 minutes.
After 30 minutes at the latest, the oil should not have dried, otherwise you will not get it polished down from the surface of the wood and you need to sand it down if necessary. The oil is first removed from the wood surface by means of a kitchen roll. Then the surface is dry-polished with a cotton cloth, for example.

The whole process is repeated after 24 hours. If you want, you can oil the worktop a third time. With the described procedure you get a wonderful result. The wooden surface appears in a silky matt sheen. After the final oiling the worktops are placed on the appropriate furniture and screwed with these. It is recommended to pre-drill small. The biggest challenge was moving the worktop into the living room. After all, the long worktop is over 3.60 meters long.
This shows now that the facing bricks were tiled to the correct height on the back wall. 🙂 If the assembly of the long worktop was pretty easy, mounting the two short halves next to the Domsjö double sink is a bit more difficult. Again, the laser heals very well when aligning exactly. Using the laser line, the edges of the two halves can be aligned. It is recommended to leave a few millimeters distance to the sides and to the mirror back wall. This is where spacers with a defined dimension help.
In the end everything fits perfectly. Now you only have to fit the end strips on the long worktop and pull the connection joints with silicone.

Solid Wood Worktops
Just the TicketVerified ReviewerBought for a desk top. Fitted the space perfectly. No cutting required. Nice and firm. No flexing. Very good finish. Nothing else to say m5
Looks good, great price andVerified ReviewerLooks good, great price and good quality. I confess to maybe being a bit naïve though as the worktop isn't completely sealed and therefore stains quite easily.4
Fantastic worktop!Verified ReviewerWe bought 4 Karlby oak veneer worktops in an clearance sale 4 years ago .... reduced from over £100 to just £25 each! They were too much of a bargain to pass by, even though my new kitchen was a distant dream. We unwrapped them and stored them in our insulated shed, laid flat on top of another worktop to avoid any possibility of them bending. We finally managed to buy our Bodbyn kitchen from 2 years ago, and installed the worktops we'd had in storage. They were in perfect condition then, and still are now. We're now extending our kitchen slightly, and I need more worktop to create a breakfast bar, as well as a couple of Bodbyn doors. Leeds, I'll see you soon!5

Not water resistantVerified ReviewerWater has begun seeping into the veneer through imperfections. This worktop is now rotting less than 6 months after installation. All 3 lengths have the same issue and all rotting areas are far away from the where it was cut to install. Keep well away from water, I now need to buy all new worktops which are water resistant.1
Does what it says on the tinVerified ReviewerBrilliant worktop that looks just like solid wood with an added touch of 'upcycled-ness' because of the core. The upside here is it's pre-oiled and requires less maintenance than a solid equivalent. Absolutely what it says it is: a thick veneer over a chipboard core. The fitters had no issues finishing the ends, as self adhesive cover veneer edges are included: bit of planing, clamping and sanding, and it looks just as if it was a pre-formed edge. Do read what the product is, and actually hold a sample in store, and ask if you are not sure. I love it, thanks !5
Nearly perfect worktopVerified ReviewerLooks good. The surface is good and very flat. It was easy to install, though the individual pieces are very heavy for one person. My only criticism is that the edging supplied is a bit cheap and nasty. Luckily I didn’t need to use very much.4

At we have a tradition of trying to utilise materials in the best possible way. For our worktops in thick veneer it means that we combine old craftsmanship with modern manufacturing methods. It makes the worktops easier to install, more stable and more resistant to humidity compared to solid worktops. And since we use the whole tree – even the crooked branches and the small twigs – we can save natural resources too.

Wood is a precious natural resource. Even though it’s a renewable material it needs to be handled responsibly. One way to do it, is to use the wood more efficiently. That’s what we do with our kitchen worktops in thick wood veneer.
“At we have a tradition of trying to utilise the materials we have in the best possible way, ” says Johnny Rietz, who’s been involved in developing the kitchen worktops in thick veneer. The work started in 2008 when founder, Ingvar Kamprad, visited one of our suppliers and asked a simple question that took some time to answer: ‘How can we make this product using fewer trees?’
“After some trials and errors, we came up with the solution. A core of particleboard and a layer of solid wood on the outside – or thick veneer, ” says Johnny. “It’s a combination of traditional craftsmanship and modern manufacturing methods. Paper-thin veneer has been used in fine, decorative furniture making for centuries, but for our worktops we’re using a much thicker layer of wood.” The thick veneer makes the surface hardwearing, and it saves raw material – a lot of it. From the same amount of wood needed to make one solid worktop, it’s possible to produce five thick veneer worktops.

Another advantage with this production technique is that you can use the whole tree; the stem as surface, and scrap bits – curvy, bent branches and small twigs – for the particleboard on the inside. The end result is a worktop that is every bit as genuine as solid wood, only more stable and more resistant to humidity. “Sometimes a small, harmless question can make a big difference. That’s exactly what happened with our kitchen worktops. It started as a challenge to use resources wiser, and proved to have positive effects not only for the environment, but also the quality. I think it’s great when that happens!” says Johnny.
A veneer is a thin wooden sheet fixed on things like particleboards to add a durable surface and a natural wood look – so we enjoy the many benefits of wood without using solid wood. The most common veneer types are birch, ash, oak and beech and we’ve made a special UV lacquer that helps preserve the wood's natural structure. A benefit with a slightly thicker veneer is how you can repair and sand the surface if it’s damaged to give furniture a longer and more beautiful life.
We believe that our kitchen worktops should meet your highest demands when it comes to design and performance, without compromise. That’s why we test our worktops, and put them up against the everyday challenges they’ll face in your kitchen: liquids, oil, food, steam, heat, bumps and scratches. When they’ve
