Natural Oak Veneer Countertop 1200 x 800 mm

A solid work surface for professional catering kitchens, this countertop is faced with natural oak veneer. The veneer layer gives the appearance and grain of solid oak while keeping the panel stable and resistant to warping. Oak is a hardwood that withstands the daily wear of a working kitchen: chopping, hot pans, and frequent cleaning. The veneer is bonded to a substrate that provides the strength and rigidity needed for a worktop that will carry heavy equipment and repeated loads without sagging or splitting.

The countertop is supplied as a single panel ready to be cut to length or installed as-is. Its thickness of 38 mm is standard for commercial worktops, giving enough depth for edge profiling and a sturdy feel under load. The panel is sized at 1200 mm by 800 mm, a compact footprint that fits into smaller kitchens or can be joined to create longer runs. No additional support is needed beyond standard kitchen framing, as the panel is self-supporting over spans up to its full width.

Installation is straightforward: the panel is placed on the base units, aligned, and secured with screws or adhesive. The oak veneer surface requires no finishing, as it is already sealed and ready for use. The edges can be left square or routed to a profile, depending on the kitchen design. The panel's weight means it stays in place without shifting, even when heavy equipment is placed on it.

The oak veneer surface is easy to clean with a damp cloth and mild detergent, and it resists staining from water and kitchen spills. Over time, the oak will develop a patina that adds character without compromising its durability. The substrate beneath the veneer is moisture-resistant, preventing swelling or delamination in humid kitchen environments.

This countertop is supplied as a single panel in the dimensions 1200 x 800 x 38 mm. It is listed in the BHS catalogue under work surfaces and worktops for professional catering equipment.
