Complete Refinishing Instructions:
A full refinish may be needed every 3-5 years. Customers tell us they have much more time between refinishes by applying fresh top coats periodically. You know it’s time for a complete refinish if you see major damage or major chemical damage from bleach or ammonia for example.

Installation Instructions:
Craft Art sends all wood countertops out with corner blocks with pre-drilled, slightly over sized holes. Because wood breathes and moves, using the screws we provide along with corner blocks with over sized holes for each of the four corners, it is considered a “floating wood countertop.” This “floating installation” technique allows for the minute wood movement without allowing any issues when properly installed. And don’t forget, do not put wood on a substrate! It needs air to breath, just like us! Please follow our detailed installation instructions when installing a wood countertop.
