Description

A chunky block oak decor with short staves, like a traditional butcher’s block. It adds character to farmhouse and industrial kitchens, and comes as a 38mm postformed worktop with matching breakfast bars, upstand and splashback.

Delivery

Natural Oak Block arrives in full lengths up to 4.1m on our own vehicles, with free delivery to every postcode we serve. Most of England and Wales gets it the next working day: check your date below. We confirm your slot the day before, and delivery is kerbside, so have a second person ready to carry it in.
Returns

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

Wipe with a damp cloth and a drop of washing-up liquid, then dry. The velvet texture is easy to keep clean but avoid scourers, which can burnish it. Use a trivet for hot pans and a board for chopping.

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.
More on edges and thickness

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.

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.

Why you’ll love it

  • Chunky block oak, like a butcher’s block

    Short oak staves laid side by side, like a butcher’s block, with a soft Top Velvet texture.

  • Top Velvet finish

    Duropal’s VV Top Velvet texture, a soft, slightly brushed finish that suits the block oak decor. It resists stains and everyday scratches, and never needs sealing.

  • Everything matches

    Natural Oak Block comes as 38mm postformed worktops, 670mm and 900mm breakfast bars, plus a matching upstand (4100 x 120 x 19mm), a matching splashback (4100 x 640mm), so the whole kitchen is one decor.

Natural Oak Block surface detail

The butcher’s block look

Block oak is made of short staves laid side by side. This decor gives you that workshop character on a surface that wipes clean, with no oiling and no risk of the joints opening up.

How to fit

Fitting Natural Oak Block

Most straight runs of Natural Oak Block are a weekend job. The block pattern makes joints easy to hide. Line a joint up with a stave edge and it almost disappears.

  1. Step 1

    Measure

    Measure each wall run along the back. Natural Oak Block comes in 3m and 4.1m lengths, so order the next size up and trim to fit.

  2. Step 2

    Cut to size

    Turn the worktop face down and cut from the back with a circular saw, so the rounded front edge does not chip. Tape the line first.

  3. Step 3

    Fix it down

    Screw up through the unit brackets with screws shorter than 38mm so they cannot break through the top.

  4. Step 4

    Finish the edges

    Seal the cut ends, then fit an end cap or edging strip. Run a bead of clear silicone where the worktop meets the wall.

What you’ll need

Most homes have these already:

  • Pencil
  • Drill driver
  • Circular saw or jigsaw
  • Straight edge or spirit level

Questions about Natural Oak Block

Can’t find your answer? Contact our worktop team.

What sizes does Natural Oak Block come in?

Prices include VAT and free delivery: Worktop 3m (38mm postformed) £151.94; Worktop 4.1m (38mm postformed) £202.58; Breakfast bar 670mm (38mm postformed) £286.49; Breakfast bar 900mm (38mm postformed) £350.80. Other sizes are available on request.

Is Natural Oak Block rounded or square edge?

Rounded. It is a postformed worktop, so the laminate wraps the front edge with a tight 3mm radius and there is no seam at the front where water can get in. There is no square edge version of this decor.

How do I join two lengths of Natural Oak Block at a corner?

A postformed front edge needs either a mason’s mitre, cut with a worktop jig and router, or an aluminium corner joining strip, which only needs a straight cut. Seal a mitre with colour-matched joint sealant and pull it tight with connector bolts.

Can I have an undermount sink with Natural Oak Block?

No. Laminate worktops have a chipboard core that would be exposed around an undermount cut-out. Choose an inset sink, which sits on top and covers the cut edge. Natural Oak Block is not made in a 12mm compact version.

What colour cabinets go with Natural Oak Block?

At home in farmhouse and industrial kitchens: cream, deep green or charcoal cabinets, cup handles and a ceramic sink.

Is there a matching upstand and splashback?

Yes: a matching upstand (4100 x 120 x 19mm), a matching splashback (4100 x 640mm). Full-height panel behind the hob or sink.

How do I clean Natural Oak Block?

Wipe with a damp cloth and a drop of washing-up liquid, then dry. The velvet texture is easy to keep clean but avoid scourers, which can burnish it.

How heavy is a Natural Oak Block worktop?

The worktop 4.1m, 640 deep (4100 x 640 x 38mm) weighs roughly 65kg, so it is a two-person lift. It arrives as one full length, so check there is a clear route through the door and around corners.

Can I see Natural Oak Block before I order?

We don’t sell samples, but the decor code is R20004 VV from Duropal, so a kitchen showroom that stocks Duropal can show you the real thing. The close-up photos on this page are true to colour on most screens.
