Are Countertops Affected by Water?
Generally, kitchen countertop models are made from oak trees, and oak trees are one of the hardest and most valuable trees grown in the Northern Hemisphere. Furthermore, these tree types are among the most preferred and used in countertop production. Because oak trees are very valuable as well as being a very difficult wood to work with, they are processed and prepared in specialized facilities. Kitchen countertops are protected from external factors and potential problems with a special oil. This oil is imported from Belgium. It penetrates the woods used as raw material in
kitchen countertop products and closes the pores in a short time, thus providing protection against liquids such as water, tea, acidic drinks, wine, etc. However, it should be known that you should prevent liquids from remaining for a long time. Problems that occur after liquid contact can be restored to their former state with special sanding and polishing methods.
Do Countertops Scratch?
Wooden countertops will scratch if an effort is made to scratch them, but simple impacts and minor accidents are not enough to scratch them. If they do scratch, kitchen countertop repairs are very easy, and you can remove scratches with sandpaper. In addition, wood is a material that never dies, and the enzymes within it prevent bacteria from growing in scratches. Thus, there are absolutely no problems such as the accumulation of germs in scratches.
