FAQ: Face Grain Pine Wooden Countertops
📍 Areas We Deliver To
Character-rich. Affordable. Naturally beautiful. Everything you need to know about this softwood favourite.
1. What makes Pine a good countertop choice?
Pine offers natural beauty, affordability, and warmth. With its creamy tones and visible knots, it’s perfect for rustic, farmhouse, or budget-conscious kitchen projects — ideal when you want real wood at a lower price point.
2. What is face grain Pine, and how does it look?
Face grain construction shows the wide surface of the board, highlighting Pine’s distinct grain lines, knots, and growth rings. It gives a visibly textured, relaxed appearance, full of charm and character.
3. Is Pine strong enough for kitchen use?
Pine is a softwood, so it's less dent- and scratch-resistant than hardwoods like Oak or Walnut. However, when sealed properly and treated with care, it performs well in light- to medium-use areas such as serving counters, breakfast bars, and islands.
4. Can I use face grain Pine around a sink or water?
Yes — but extra care is needed. We seal all surfaces including undersides and cutouts with multiple coats of varnish, and we recommend using bathroom-grade silicone at wall and fixture junctions to prevent moisture from getting in.
5. Will the countertop mark easily or dent over time?
Pine is softer than most hardwoods and will develop dents, scratches, and patina — which many clients love for its lived-in look. You can also lightly sand and refinish it when needed, which makes it versatile and renewable.
6. What finish options do you recommend?
We offer:
-
Matte or satin varnish (most popular for Pine – protects while showing the grain)
-
Rubio Monocoat oil (for a natural, hand-rubbed feel)
-
Gloss varnish (less common, but ideal for furniture-style counters)
All options are food-safe and water-resistant.
7. Can I get it in a custom size or shape?
Yes — all Pine tops are made to order. You can request:
-
Custom lengths, widths, and thicknesses
-
L-shapes, waterfall-ready edges, or curved fronts
-
Special cutouts for sinks, taps, or hobs
8. Do you offer cutouts and are they sealed?
Yes — we offer CNC-cut, fully sealed openings for all your plumbing or appliance needs. Each cutout is treated with up to 6 coats of finish, just like the rest of the countertop.
9. Are edge profiles included in the price?
Yes — all edge shaping is included, with no limit on how many edges. Choose from:
-
Eased
-
Pencil
-
Bullnose
-
Chamfered
-
Roman Ogee
These profiles soften the look and provide functional beauty.
10. Is Pine sustainable?
Yes — Pine is a fast-growing, renewable resource. It’s locally available, low in carbon footprint, and widely loved for its eco-conscious appeal in natural or cottage-style interiors.
11. Can Pine be used in bathrooms or wet bars?
It can — but installation and sealing must be done carefully. Our marine-grade finishes help protect against humidity, but Pine’s softness means it's best for guest bathrooms, vanities, or dry-side use rather than daily wet zones.
12. What does Pine look like as it ages?
Pine naturally darkens to a warm honey tone, especially when exposed to sunlight. Knots and grain lines become more pronounced, giving it a rustic, antique-style character over time.
13. Can the countertop be refinished later?
Yes — Pine is easy to sand and re-seal. This makes it a great option for budget-friendly remodeling, DIY restorations, or evolving design tastes.
14. What’s the expected lifespan of a Pine countertop?
With good care, a Pine top can last 10–20+ years. It’s not as tough as hardwood, but its repairability and renewability make it a worthwhile, lower-cost option.
15. Is Pine safe for food prep?
Yes — once sealed, it’s safe for light prep, serving, and everyday kitchen use. For cutting and chopping, use a board to protect the finish and maintain the surface.
16. How do I clean it daily?
-
Wipe with a soft cloth and gentle cleaner
-
Avoid harsh chemicals or soaking
-
Use placemats or trivets to protect from heat and moisture
We include a care guide with every order.
17. Do you deliver across South Africa?
Yes — we offer nationwide delivery, securely packaged and tracked. Whether going to your home, contractor, or installer, we ensure a smooth experience from quote to delivery.
18. Should I get shipping insurance?
Yes — for 5% of your order value, shipping insurance protects you from loss or damage during transit. It’s a small cost that provides valuable peace of mind.
19. What makes your Pine tops different from big box store ones?
We:
-
Hand-select each plank for colour and grain
-
Laminate and seal all surfaces, including cutouts and undersides
-
Custom-make every order, not cut down stock
