Create a worktop in the kitchen

Do you want to make a worktop for your kitchen? You can! It is important, however, that you use material that can withstand moisture. Sheet materials that can withstand moisture are for example Damp-proof MDF, also known as V313 and Okoume plywood. These two board materials are often used in damp rooms and sometimes even outside.

MDF is a good choice if you want to finish your worktop in a sleek colour and provide it with a scratch-resistant top layer, for example. MDF is easy to process and can therefore be finished entirely according to your taste and wishes. Okoume plywood has a warm colour and a beautiful visible wood structure. This material can therefore be used very well if you want to make a worktop with a warm natural look.

TIP: A worktop is often 80.0 cm deep, so it is important to make sure that the material you are going to use is also available with a width greater than 80.0 cm.
