Pre-Installation
TO AVOID CRACKING AND SPLITING OF WOOD BUTCHER BLOCK SURFACE MUST BE SEALED OR FINISHED WITHIN 48 HOURS
- Protecting the underside and all edges is as important as protecting the top!
Installation
-
PLANNING FOR EXPANSION GAPS
The countertop expands and contracts depending on the microclimatic conditions of the room.
Provide expansion gaps between the edges of the countertop and wall, which allows for this wood movement. -
MOUNTING THE COUNTERTOP
Mount the countertop to the cabinet frame or drill overized holes in your support blocks. -
JOINING COUNTERTOPS
Method 1: When using miter bolts to join tops, use two or three clamps at each joint, depending on the width.
Method 2: Using multiple biscuit or mortise/tenon joints with pocket screws on the underside is another joint method. -
CUTTING COUNTERTOP TO SIZE
Use a circular saw with a fine tooth blade with removeable tape (1) on the cut line to minimize chipping.
Clamp a straight edge (2) to the top as a guide for your circular saw to achieve a straight cut, especially when two cut edges will be joined together to avoid any gaps.
Maintenance
Finishing your countertop with oil or oil-wax
Strictly follow the manufacturer’s instructions as to the use of any oil or
oil-wax. Protective coating is sufficient when water remains on the countertop
after a spill, without tendency to spread and penetrate the wood. Oil the
countertop every three (3) to six (6) months to restore coating and each time
when the surface begins to tarnish or drops of spilled water lose their
natural shape and penetrate into the wood.
Low-maintenance options
Other finishing methods are allowed that provide equal protection against
moisture such as polyurethane. Please see finish manufacturer’s instructions
for finish application.
Care and Cleaning
- Remove any spills from the surface. Do not allow the water to lie on the surface for a long time.
- Always use protective mats or pads under hot dishes, or leave them to cool on the stove.
- Use a soft cloth and warm water when cleaning. Never use concentrated cleaning detergents, especially those containing bleach.
