Wooden worktops for the kitchen

thomaspassmore · 17 May 2014

Hi there
We're getting an ikea kitchen and want wood worktops but aren't very impressed with the ikea ones. They're ot solid wood and seem to chip easily (lots like that in store)

Can anyone recommend a place to get oak worktops?

I've seen barncreast and Norfolk oak but are they worth the premium over places like woodworktops.com or worktop express

Thanks
Tom

Not sure what Ikea tops you mean the wood are all wood and the others are laminate.
You can get cheap oak tops from Selco , £89 +vat.

Yoire rit that the 2.8cm pmes are all wood, but The 3.8cm ones which is what we need for the sink are mainly particle board with about 1mm of wood

Sink should be ok with both thicknesses.

Ikea reckon for the type of sink were going for it needs to be at least 3.8

Seems unusually my sink went in a 28mm oak top.

Was looking at worktop express today. Almost impossible to tell the qualities of all these suppliers
