Our Wood Options
Wood selection is aligned with how the surface will be used and how it should integrate into the kitchen. We build all projects in our fixed range of 9 standard wood species.
Standard Wood Species (Core)
Most projects are completed using a defined set of timber species that provide predictable results across a range of layouts.
- White Oak — Used for kitchen countertops and stair treads. Offers stability and a classic, versatile appearance. Ages to a warm, honey tone.
- Kiaat — Preferred for its dimensional stability and subtle movement. Common in kitchens and shelving. Develops a rich, golden-brown patina.
- European Beech — Chosen for its uniform grain and light tone. Used in contemporary kitchens and floating shelves. Remains consistent over time.
- Rhodesian Teak — Selected for maximum durability and density. Used in high-wear areas and for clients who want a surface that lasts decades.
- Iroko — Known for moisture resistance. Used in kitchens and bathrooms. Darkens to a deep, golden brown.
- Pine — Used for shelving and table tops where a lighter, softer look is desired. Not suitable for stair treads or high-wear surfaces.
- American White Ash — Offers a contemporary, pale tone. Used in shelving and table tops. Maintains a clean, modern look.
- Mahogany — Used for its deep, reddish-brown tone. Common in feature surfaces and statement pieces. Develops a rich patina.
- Red Oak — Chosen where stronger grain definition and warmth are preferred. Used in kitchen surfaces and statement furniture pieces.
All design, pricing, and production decisions are based on this fixed species range.
Why We Standardise to 9 Species
A fixed species range improves consistency in colour matching, lead times, and long-term maintenance outcomes. It also makes specification clearer for architects, contractors, and homeowners.
Every countertop, table top, shelf, and stair project is produced from this same core species set. This keeps quality predictable across all project types.
