Proven quality
From tree felling to final installation, our single-minded vision is to deliver kitchen work surfaces of exceptional quality, strength and visual appeal. No exceptions, no excuses.
At every stage of manufacturing we draw on both our traditional craft skills and the latest manufacturing techniques. We begin by selecting timber from responsible forests, which is then carefully seasoned to reduce moisture. This process naturally strengthens the wood and makes installation easier.
Then it’s time to create our work surfaces from precisely manufactured solid wood blocks (staves) of seasoned timber. The staves are bonded together with finger joints and a specialist adhesive. The result? A beautifully strong surface with square cut ends that can either be retained for a contemporary feel, or machined to your own choice of profile. The decision, as ever, is yours.
Sustainability
Spectra craftspeople give as much thought to sustainability as aesthetics. Always have, always will. After all, good forest management isn’t just vital to ensuring future generations can enjoy our woods and forests. Our very industry relies on it.
It’s why all our timber is certified in accordance with the rules of the Forest Stewardship Council®. What’s more, the use of solid wood staves in the production of Spectra Solid-Wood work surfaces ensures that we maximize the amount of wood that’s used from the tree.
