Wooden Benchtops

Featuring the best wooden benchtops in Australia

A carefully chosen wooden benchtop adds warmth and texture to your kitchen. Timber pairs well with stone, metal, porcelain, and glass, making it extremely versatile as a kitchen benchtop option. ArchiPro has selected timber benchtops from the most discerning suppliers in Australia to ensure that you can easily find something to suit your taste, style and budget. They are an important part of a wider range of high quality kitchen benchtops, available on ArchiPro.

Types of wooden benchtops

Hardwoods

Hardwoods such as walnut, oak and ash are strong and durable. Wooden benchtops made from solid timber such as Victorian ash or Tasmanian oak work particularly well with more traditional decor in Australia. Birch or ash can also bring warmth to a neutral Scandinavian palette.

Bamboo

Although not technically timber, bamboo benchtops are very hardy and easy to clean. Better yet, they’re heat resistant and are not affected by exposure to water. Because bamboo grows so quickly, bamboo benchtops are also more environmentally friendly and sustainable too.

Reclaimed timber

Reclaimed or recycled timber is a perfect choice for homes with coastal or rustic decor. In such cases, the nicks, scratches and stains that appear over time simply enhance the appeal of the material. Ideal for a benchtop that sees a lot of action!

Jarrah

Native to Australia, Jarrah is a great choice for outdoor kitchens as it has a high resistance to weather, rot and termites.

The advantages of high quality wooden benchtops

How good your wooden benchtop looks depends not only on the type of timber that you choose, but also on the quality of the wood and the workmanship. ArchiPro works only with the most respected suppliers in Australia to ensure that you have access to high quality wooden benchtops that will look beautiful for years to come.

How to choose a wooden benchtop that’s right for you

In Australia, you have many wooden benchtops from which to choose. Finding the one that’s right for you is as much about aesthetics as it is about practicality. If your kitchen island is a hub of activity, something like a reclaimed timber benchtop where the marks of life will add to its character could be a good choice. For those who are seriously eco-conscious a bamboo benchtop might be a good fit. For those who want something that exudes luxury, you’ll find it hard to beat a gorgeous oak benchtop. Knowing what your priorities are will help shape your decision, and ensure that it’s the right one for you for years to come.
