A kitchen tabletop of solid wood brings the forest into the kitchen. Wood gives a warm feeling and is a popular choice for many consumers. There are many advantages with a solid woodwork top. Consumers may choose from among a wide range of wood species.
Protego kitchen tabletop oils provide a practical finish for solid wood surfaces, offering durability, easy maintenance and consistent protection. A solid wood top remains a preferred choice for kitchens because it delivers warmth, natural variation and long-term usability across a range of wood species.
An oiled surface allows wood to breathe, avoids black marks and can be repaired easily when scratches occur. The coating resists common kitchen spills including soy sauce, red wine and coffee, maintaining appearance without trapping moisture.
Oiling enhances grain clarity and emphasises the natural aesthetic, making wood suitable for both minimalistic and contemporary interiors.
For lighter species, Protego’s white oil technique uses nano-pigments that penetrate the grain to maintain the desired level of whiteness, offered in 5%, 10%, 15% and 22% options.
Additional colour variants range from black to several wood-tone finishes that align with the chosen species. All versions share the same properties of straightforward application, fast drying and simple maintenance.
Over time, regular use and re-oiling deepen the wood’s character, ensuring the tabletop remains visually appealing for years.
