The type of finish you chose will depend on how you plan to use your kitchen countertop, island top, or butcher block. Whether you plan to cut on it, whether it needs to be water-proof, etc. Mineral Oil This finish is typically chosen for tops that will be used as a cutting surface. Mineral oil preserves the top and will not go rancid over time as vegetable oil will. The mineral oil we use is FDA approved for food surfaces. Tops with this finish will need to have additional oil applied on a regular basis. See the Care and Maintenance page for more information. Tung Oil We use Waterlox tung oil based finishes on our tops. This finish is durable, waterproof, resists household chemicals, and is easy to maintain (see our Care and Maintenance page for more information). Waterlox is available in a satin, semi gloss, and a high gloss finish. All tops that are treated with a this finish receive a minimum of four coats on the visible side of the top and three coats on sides that are not visible. Six coats are typical for tops with an integrated sink. The following information comes directly from the Waterlox Web-site:
Note: We have been using Waterlox tung oil based finishes for about 8 years and have been very pleased with the results. In fact, this is the finish that is on our own kitchen table, island top, and all our cabinets. |
