Natural bamboo worktops provide an extremely hardwearing, durable, naturally water resistant surface that is completely sustainable. Rather than being constructed from solid staves of timber, bamboo worktops are created from compressed individual sections that are layered on top of each other. The timber will appear initially as a pale, yellow surface but will soon darken naturally to become a lovely golden colour throughout.
Bamboo is one of the most sustainable building materials ever! Unlike most timber species, that take several decades to reach full growth, Bamboo is harvested every 5-6 years, and more shoots are quickly replanted. Bamboo has a mostly straight grain pattern, that is neatly separated with random nodes to add unique character.
Please note - Our bamboo specification changed slightly on the 1st March 2011. If you have previously order samples, please contact us to receive a new sample before placing a worktop order. Thank you.

Our large stock holding and sheer purchasing power dictates that the prices we can provide direct to both the public & trade are as competitive as possible. We do not have the same overheads associated with high street stores (On average 270% markup initially just to cover warehousing and staff costs) and as such we can make a similar profit margin without overcharging the customer. However, as we specialise in solid wood worktops in our opinion the quality is far superior. This is one of the key reasons that we offer a sample service, to allow you, the customer, a chance to witness the material first hand.
There simply is no middleman when purchasing from Worktop-Express, we are the only link between the manufacturer and your kitchen. Our direct internet delivery model allows us to minimise costs in relation to retail premises and storage as our advanced stock ordering and handling process limits the amount of "dead-stock". This not only provides you, the customer, with a prompt delivery process and a lower cost, but it also ensures that you receive the freshest products direct from the manufacturer. We maximise efficiency wherever possible, using the latest stock handling and order processing software to ensure accuracy. The majority of our waste is recycled or adapted into samples or other by-products, which is both environmentally friendly and minimises depreciation.
You may have also noticed that we are priced lower than every other online retailer, one of the key reasons for this is that we physically stock the worktops ourselves. Many online retailers simply sell on behalf of a distribution company, from an office, and add a small margin on top of the distributors' price. We of course do not have this overhead as we sell direct, providing even better value for money. By purchasing from Worktop-Express, you are purchasing from the people that source, stock, market and distribute the product from start to finish. Still not convinced?

Many people choose to install bamboo wooden worktops in their kitchen, and it is easy to see why. Bamboo worktops have a clean, fresh colour tone which will look fantastic in any kitchen. The material itself is solid, sturdy, durable and environmentally sound. As bamboo is one of the fastest growing plants, it is faster and more efficient to source than some other species of wood.
When choosing kitchen worktops, you should assess whether the material you have in mind will match the surrounding colour scheme and equipment. Bamboo worktops will complement a wide range of colours and materials, such as tiles, stones and various woods. Bamboo worktops can make an attractive new addition to your kitchen, and are likely to suit any changes you make to the décor in the future. Bamboo is also harder than some other hardwoods, such as maple. Bamboo wooden worktops can be re-sanded and re-stained once every few years to maintain its fresh appearance.
Bamboo wooden worktops - warm and natural
These worktops will create a warm addition to any kitchen, no matter what its decorating style. Whether rustic or modern, bamboo worktops are attractive and durable, and its naturally smooth grain allows for easy cleaning. There are also a number of other advantages they have over some other species of wood.
Bamboo is significantly sturdier than some other woods. For example, it is 16% more durable than maple. This is why bamboo is often used for desks, shelving and furniture. Even some hardwoods are not quite as tough as bamboo, and it is also less likely to contract or swell like some woods can. Bamboo wooden worktops are naturally water-resistant, which means that it can withstand spills or other forms of moisture easier than some other wood species.
