With Woca Worktop Oil and our patina disks you can treat and finish real wood worktops and furniture pieces to produce an ultra smooth finish that is resistant to dirt, staining and splash resistant. WOCA penetrating oils are used as part of this finishing procedure as they ensures full saturation of the wood structure with the oil which then oxidises, cures and hardens within the surface of the wood.
There is both a natural as well as a white oil giving you an aesthetic choice between the two as to which will suit your interior.
Oil is important for kitchen work surfaces as it provides protection 1mm into the wood so in the event of slight scratches the wood is still protected from moisture and marking. Due to the smooth nature of the worktop finish it is not only aesthetically pleasing to the touch but it is also hygienic. The smoothness of the finish negates the risk that it may collect dirt and bacteria. Ongoing cleaning with Woca Natural Soap will add a fraction of oily soap to the surface to maintain protection. If wear builds up then reoiling is an easy process that will reprotect all damage. In this manner your worktop becomes an everlasting surface.
Our finishing procedure for worktops and furniture was originally developed initially for the flooring market. In that role we have undertaken in 2009 St Pancras International Rail station and a few years later public areas in the The Shard. The specification there was for maximum wear ability in the highest traffic environment. The surface needed to be commercial wear rated, it also had to be oiled and finished quickly with a simple on-going maintenance procedure in place that could be done overnight. That technology has been adopted for our worktops with outstanding results that can easily be undertaken by a property owner or caretaker.
