About Our Worktops 

A Norfolk Oak hardwood worktop is quite unlike any other mass produced kitchen worktop.  Made from the finest furniture grade North American hardwoods deep in the Northern Appalachian mountains of New England - Norfolk Oak worktops are simply stunning.  Our worktops are constructed either in America in Ohio, or here in the UK at our workshops on the Sandringham Estate, North Norfolk.  With a standard range and a bespoke service second to none, we can produce the most beautiful kitchen worktops with virtually limitless design.  Whatever shape you can imagine, we can create it using the most beautiful hardwoods on the planet.

I would strongly urge you to compare photographs on our website with any other retailer.  Whilst our worktops may be slightly more expensive than the competition, they are infinitely better value.  There are real reasons for this, not least amongst them the quality of the hardwoods we use.  Whilst this quality is readily visible in the beauty of the timber, it also makes a huge impact in the design of the worktop.  For example our Classic Butchers Block worktops have an average stave width of 80 mm, double the standard 40 mm found in cheap mass produced worktops.   Norfolk Oak are the first and only company to make traditional plank worktops with proper wide planks of timber joined length ways and edge ways to create an outstanding worktop.

All of our hardwood kitchen worktops are 45 mm thick. Once again Norfolk Oak is the first and only company to design and manufacture worktops with this attention to detail, adding the ultimate finishing detail to your kitchen.

Despite such high quality, a Norfolk Oak Worktop is incredible value for money. The simple reason being that we are not just a retailer but the actual manufacturer.  From the second the tree is felled, Norfolk Oak control the entire process.  We plank it, dry it, grade it, mold it, glue it, sand it and finish it.  When our customers desire it, we cut it to shape their exact kitchen, put in the sink and hob cut outs and undertake any other bespoke finishing work required.

If you have a moment, please do read our section on Worktop Construction.  It will give you a really good idea about why the best costs a little bit more, but for once, only a little.  Also, feel free to visit our Worktop Videos section to see our information videos on how our worktops are made.
