They are extremely durable, stylish, and safe for food preparation.
We have 3 different styles of butcher block & wooden countertops available for kitchens & bathrooms
Edge Grain Butcher Block Countertops
In edge grain countertop construction, the wood strips are arranged side by side , then grafted together using premium quality water-resistant glue, these strips can run the full length of the wood countertop or it can be made with varying lengths of wood (blended).
Con's:
Edge grain tops, are very good for chopping and food prep, however they will show signs of knife marks and wear over time quicker than end grain tops.
Pro's:
The main advantage of this type of countertop construction is that it can be made very thick and also very long when compared to face grain/wide plank countertops which are limited to the thickness of the boards used to make it.
Usually, this type of construction is the cheapest of the three options.
End Grain Butcher Block Countertops
End grain wood countertops are the most durable and also the most expensive countertops, and are made using the end pieces of the wood, this vertical orientation is what makes end grain butcher blocks so gentle on fine knives.
Con's:
The most expensive and they require regular oiling, more effort to maintain properly and can look dull faster than any other type of construction.
Pro's:
However they don't easily show scratches and add a unique feature in the kitchen, they have a beautiful checkerboard pattern and can be made in any thickness and any length.
The chef's choice for kitchen surfaces, as they are the easiest on your knives, they keep your knives sharper for longer and act like those self-healing cutting boards that artists use.
Wide Plank Countertops (Face Grain)
Face grain countertop construction is the most beautiful to look at and is not recommended for chopping or heavy use, it is made using the widest (face) part of a board, showing off the most wood grain and are the most striking of all butcher block countertops.
Con's:
Not recommended for chopping or cutting, easily shows scratches and dents and the overall dimensions are also limited to the thickness of the planks used, length is not an issue, only the thickness.
Pro's:
In our opinion it is the most beautiful of all the different construction types, it is also relatively affordable and takes only a little effort to maintain properly.
If you love the look of wood face grain often provides more visual interest in the kitchen.
All of our wood countertop designs include the option for a sink cutout, stove cutout, power outlet cutouts, built in pot stands, angled corner cut, matched wood backsplash, waterfall ends and a variety of edge details to choose from for the perfect kitchen or bathroom look.
