Iroko Solid Wood Worktop

Golden-brown iroko made from full-length staves, with darker red-brown blocks that add depth and character. These solid wood worktops are 40mm or 30mm thick, up to 4.1m long, and 650mm deep, with a matching upstand. Oil all faces before you fit.

What's an upstand?

Upstand, 100mm highWorktop 100mm high 22mm thick Silicone bead 600mm deep worktop Wall

What it is

A 100mm-high strip in Iroko, the same decor as your worktop. It sits along the back edge of the worktop, against the wall.

Why you need one

Walls are rarely straight, so there's nearly always a gap between worktop and wall. An upstand covers it, stops water and crumbs getting down the back, and gives a neat finished line. It's the simplest, cheapest way to finish a worktop.

Sizes

    Most kitchens need one length per wall run.

    Fitting

    Cut it to length with a fine-tooth saw and bond it to the wall with grab adhesive. Run a bead of clear or matching silicone along the bottom edge, and finish any exposed ends with an end cap.

    Upstand or splashback?

    Choose an upstand if you're tiling above the worktop, or want the cheapest neat finish. Choose a splashback behind the hob or sink, or if you want no tiles at all. Lots of kitchens use both.

    What's a splashback?

    Splashbackupstand heightHob and oven 640mm high 10mm thick Worktop Wall

    What it is

    A full-height panel in Iroko, the same decor as your worktop, fixed to the wall behind the hob or sink.

    Why choose one

    One continuous wipe-clean surface with no grout lines, so there's nothing to stain or scrub between tiles. It protects the wall from splashes and cooking grease, and makes the worktop and wall look like one piece.

    Sizes

      Behind a hob

      Check the minimum clearance to a laminate panel in your hob's installation manual. Gas hobs usually need more space, or a heat-resistant panel behind the burners.

      Fitting

      Cut it to size and bond it to a flat, sound wall with panel adhesive. Seal the bottom edge to the worktop with silicone.

      Upstand or splashback?

      Choose an upstand if you're tiling above the worktop, or want the cheapest neat finish. Choose a splashback behind the hob or sink, or if you want no tiles at all. Lots of kitchens use both.

      What's an edging strip?

      BeforeCut end: barechipboard core AfterEdging strip,45mm wide, coversa cut end

      What it is

      A strip in Iroko that covers the cut end of the worktop. It comes pre-glued, or is fixed with contact adhesive.

      When you need it

      Whenever a cut end is on show: at the end of a run, on a breakfast bar, or anywhere you've cut a length down.

      Sizes

        Fitting

        1. Glue Spread contact adhesive on the end and the strip, or warm a pre-glued strip.
        2. Press Press it on firmly from the middle outwards, with a block of wood.
        3. Trim and file Trim the overhang with a sharp blade, then file the edges down at a slight angle.

        What are joining strips?

        Corner strip (L-shape)Straight stripSeen from above Aluminium strip38mm worktop: use the38mm stripWorktopWorktop

        What it is

        An aluminium strip that joins two worktop lengths without a router or jig. The web slips between the two ends and the cap covers the joint.

        Straight or corner

        Straight: joins two lengths in a line. Corner: makes an L-shaped join where two runs meet.

        Sizes

          Match the strip to your worktop's thickness: a 38mm strip for a 38mm worktop.

          The alternative

          A mason's mitre gives a seamless corner, but it needs a worktop jig and a router. See both options in our fitting guide.

          What are end caps?

          BeforeAfterExposed endEnd capScrewed over therounded profile Left end capRight end capYou, facing the worktopWall

          What it is

          An aluminium cap that finishes the exposed end of a postformed worktop, following its rounded front edge.

          Left or right?

          Stand facing the worktop. If the exposed end is on your left, you need a left end cap; if it's on your right, a right end cap.

          Sizes

            Match the cap to your worktop's thickness.

            Fitting

            Hold the cap against the end, drill small pilot holes and screw it on. A thin bead of silicone behind it keeps water out of the end.

            What's in the joint kit?

            3 connector boltsJoint sealant Seen from underneathBolts pull the joint tight;sealant keeps water out

            What's in it

            Three connector bolts and a tube of joint sealant: everything to hold one worktop joint together.

            What it's for

            The bolts sit in pockets cut underneath both worktops and pull the joint tight. The sealant goes on the joint faces first, so water can't get into the core.

            How many?

            One kit per worktop joint.

              Changed your mind? You have 14 days from delivery to return it unused, uncut and in its wrapping; we refund within 14 days of getting it back. Report any damage within 48 hours. Full returns policy.

              Care and cleaning

              Re-oil the surface every few months, particularly around the sink where water collects. Dry spills quickly and keep hot pans on a trivet. Sand light marks out with the grain, then oil again to even the tone.

              Which edge?

              • Postformed: the laminate wraps a soft, rounded front. Classic and hard-wearing.
              • Square edge: a sharp, modern line with a matching edge strip.
              • Compact: 12mm solid board, slim and waterproof.

              Fitting in four steps

              • Measure, then cut face down with a fine-tooth blade.
              • Lay it on the units and screw up through the brackets.
              • Seal the cut edges, then fit the upstand and end caps.
              Read the full fitting guide

              How to measure

              • Measure each wall run along the back, in millimetres.
              • Add about 50mm to every run so you can trim to a clean fit.
              • In an L-shape, let the longest run go into the corner.

              Size guide

              • Worktops come 3000mm or 4100mm long and 600mm deep.
              • Breakfast bars are deeper: 665mm or 900mm, for islands and overhangs.
              • Buy a length that covers your run, then cut it to fit.

              Why you’ll love it

              • Golden brown with darker blocks

                Warm gold staves alternate with deeper brown and red-brown ones, so each worktop carries clear stave-by-stave variation. No two lengths are ever quite the same.

              • Sand, oil and carry on

                Because it is solid timber, a mark is a job for sandpaper and oil, not a replacement. Regular oiling keeps the warm tone rich and even.

              • Matching pieces in solid iroko

                The 3050 x 900 x 40mm breakfast bar and 3050 x 100 x 25mm upstand are cut from the same timber for a consistent look.

              Warm timber with natural variety

              Iroko brings a lived-in warmth that suits a traditional or rustic kitchen. It looks well with cream, green or dark blue cabinets, and its golden tone glows against a white tiled splashback. The stave variation is part of the charm, so it suits owners who like a worktop with visible character rather than a uniform colour or a perfectly matched board.

              How to fit

              Fitting Iroko

              Iroko comes unfinished and 650mm deep, in 40mm or 30mm. Oil every face before fixing, leave room for the timber to move, and use inset sinks only, with the cut-out sealed.

              Are the stave colours very different?

              Yes, there is clear variation. The swatch shows golden-brown staves alongside darker red-brown blocks, which gives iroko its character. Expect each length to look slightly different.

              Does iroko need oiling before it goes in?

              Yes. It is supplied unfinished, so oil all six faces before fitting and keep re-oiling it through its life to keep the finish consistent.

              What lengths and thicknesses are offered?

              The 40mm top comes in 2000, 3050 and 4100mm lengths, and the 30mm top in 3050 and 4100mm. All are 650mm deep.

              Is a breakfast bar available?

              Yes, a 3050 x 900 x 40mm bar in solid iroko. It is deep enough for stools on one side of an island, and it needs the same oiling as the worktop.

              Which cabinet colours go best with iroko?

              Cream, sage, bottle green and navy all flatter its golden-brown tone. White gives a bright contrast, and black handles sit well against the darker staves.

              Can a sink be undermounted into solid wood?

              No, use an inset sink instead. Seal the cut-out with several coats of oil so water cannot soak into the exposed timber around the bowl.
