Block Style Worktop - Iroko
Our Block Style worktops are made by hand selecting comb jointed blocks which are then glued together forming these stunning worktops. Each piece is graded for character, colour, and grain pattern producing a high quality worktop for your kitchen. The blocks are 40mm wide and will vary in length between 250 & 450mm giving around 14-16 staves on an average width kitchen worktop.
Iroko is often referred to as 'African Teak' despite not being related to the Teak family. Its association is due its similarity in appearance and attributes and is considered a low-cost alternative. It is naturally rich in oils making it very durable and particularly suited for use in kitchens and bathrooms. When freshly cut or sanded Iroko is a light golden colour but will quickly darken to a deep chocolatey brown.
Nature Grade worktops are designed to show off the natural characteristics of each timber. Some colour and grain variation will appear and small knots can be present, the extent of any variation will differ between species.
