Kitchen countertops
Kitchen tabletops are one of Stragendo's areas of expertise.
We make tabletops from oak, ash, and any other material that is currently in stock.
The production time is about one week.
If necessary, we can cut holes for the sink and stove.
We can make a ready-to-install tabletop(coated with oil or varnish), or we can make a part that you will coat with oil on your own.
We finish all the tabletops/ steps/shelves/kitchen worktops/handrails/windowsills in any color at the request of the client. The price for the item does not change depending on the color. Exceptions: complicated colors, patina, smooth black.
The kitchen tabletops are often made from finger-joint panels. There are several reasons for this:
- The length of kitchen tabletops often exceeds three meters. Usually, three meters is the maximum length for an edge-glued panel. The Fingerjoint panel can be four meters and even five meters long.
- There is always water in kitchens, and for the sink and stove, it is necessary to make large cutouts in the tabletop.
These two factors greatly affect the wood resistance, which means that reliability and adhesion strength is extremely important for kitchen tabletops.
In these cases, the finger-joint panels are more reliable than the edge-glued ones.
It is impossible to imagine a modern kitchen without a wide worktop. Usually, kitchen worktops are made of marble, quartz, etc. People believe that wood is not compatible with water, and that wooden tabletops can burst or crack. This is not true. If you choose the right type of wood and protective coatings, the wooden tabletop will last you for many years.

Choosing a Kitchen Worktop – Let’s Decide Together
The kitchen worktop is one of the most used surfaces in your home — chances are, you spend more time at it than at the dining table. That’s why it’s important that your worktop brings you joy every day.
Here are a few tips to help you choose the perfect kitchen worktop:
1. Think about the overall look of your kitchen
How do you vision your kitchen?
Will you only need a worktop, or do you have space for a kitchen island as well?
2. How intensively will you use your worktop?
Do you cook every day for hours, or just warm up the occasional sandwich?
Your answer will impact on the type of finish you need.
- For light use, natural oil (clear or semi-transparent) is a enough choice.
- For heavy daily cooking, opt for a tougher finish like flooring-grade oil (check out our video comparing different types of oils)
3. Do you want a thick, solid-looking surface?
If yes, go for a 40 mm thick panel – always a safe and stylish option.
If you prefer a lighter, more minimal look, 27–30 mm is ideal.
We don’t recommend using panels thinner than 27 mm for kitchen use.
4. Are you okay with refreshing the surface yourself over time?
If so, a natural oil finish like OSMO is perfect.
Reapplying oil can be a calming and rewarding DIY task — a small ritual with a visible result.
5. Do you need cut-outs for a sink or a hob?
If yes, finger-jointed panels are the more reliable choice for structural integrity.
6. Is your kitchen a bit of a danger zone?
If knives or pots often fall, consider choosing ash wood.
It’s the most impact-resistant timber in our stock — even if you’re a bit clumsy, it’ll hold up with minimal dents.
7. Do you need installation support?
When will your main kitchen setup be ready? Will you need the countertop installed at the same time or after? Make sure the timeline works for both parts.
There are quite a few questions, but your kitchen worktop is a central element of your daily life — better to think things through now than make decisions on the spot in a store.
Stragendo is always here to help you choose the right kitchen worktop. With hundreds of worktops crafted over the years, we’re ready to find the perfect one for you.
