The WOODSMITHS you probably already know. Over a decade dedicated to enduring solid wood craftsmanship. Work that can be seen in homes, kitchens and industry throughout New Zealand.
Solid Wood Bench Tops have been a part of this. Bench Tops crafted to customers designs, colours, timbers and finishes. All featuring the generous and extensive WOODSMITHS warranties.
Our products are not mass produced. Each piece is individually hand crafted. We enjoy working with customers to design solid wood bench tops and other solid wood products that are unique and functional. We are committed to the highest quality of craftsmanship and take pride in each piece we make.
When you talk to The WOODSMITHS you talk to people with hands-on experience of every aspect of production.
It doesn't stop there. The WOODSMITHS goes the extra mile to ensure that their work reaches you in perfect condition and on time.
Even softer timbers such as macrocarpa become so much stronger with the generous coatings of Hi-Build Resin that The WOODSMITHS apply as standard. Plus the resin is flexible to reduce the risk of cracking the surface.
Hi-Build Resin is highly resistant to all household cleaners, chemicals, solvents and bleaches . . . Virtually "Stain-Proof".
The silky smooth glass-like finish makes cleaning a breeze. All standard non-abrasive cleaners can be used. We recommend using a microfibre cloth and warm water. Fine steel wool and methylated spirits can be used to remove heavy grime buildĀup. To restore the original sheen simply apply a thin coat of the Bench Top Wax supplied.
The Hi-Build Resin surface is highly heat resistant. Boiling water is no problem for example. However we recommend that heat resistant mats, tiles, glass or marble should be used where hot pots and pans are frequently used.
Dents can often be repaired by pouring boiling water on them and rubbing with a towel. Major ruptures can easily be repaired "on-site" by filling with resin and buffing.
Hi-Build Resin is made for use on any timber species. Being hard and yet flexible it allows the timber to move naturally without cracking. It is also UV resistant.
Bench tops from The WOODSMITHS are totally encased with the resin to make them all-round water and steam proof. Water leaks, steam from Dishwashers, etc, will not affect them.
All bench tops finished with Hi-Build Resin are covered by a full TEN year warranty against faulty workmanship and / or materials. Includes splitting, resin breakdown. If you have any problem with your bench top, The WOODSMITHS will be there to rectify it within 7 days.
