Zebrano Worktops

You really can transform your kitchen with stunning Zebrano worktops from the team here at Top Worktops UK. Our customers buy zebrano worktops that combine dramatic aesthetics with everyday practicality. They are designed to take your kitchen space to the next level

Zebrano wood is also known as zebra wood, and it’s not hard to see why. The contrast of darker stripes against a lighter background gives our zebrano countertops oodles of visual appeal. If you want to make a strong design statement in your kitchen, this African hardwood is a truly distinctive choice.

Offering a Janka hardness rating of up to 2,070, this beautiful timber creates worktops that are made to last. Zebrano is highly wear and impact-resistant, making it more than capable of standing up to everyday wear and tear. And its unique aesthetic makes it the perfect choice for a luxurious kitchen worktop. Pair it with contrasting oak or walnut, and this showstopping wood makes a superb design feature whether you’re using it for an upstand or a kitchen island.

At Top Worktops UK, you can buy 38mm zebrano kitchen worktops in a range of sizes. Don’t forget to add OSMO or Danish oil to your order to keep your countertops looking immaculate.

Zebrano Wood Sources

Zebrano, or Microberlinia Brazzavillensis to give it its formal name, is a tropical hardwood, sourced from central African countries, including Gabon, Congo, and Cameroon. Also referred to as zebra wood because of its resemblance to a zebra’s striped coat, it’s highly prized for its distinctive appearance.

We source our Zebrano responsibly, ensuring that your kitchen makeover is eco-friendly.

Zebrano Wood Colours and Textures

Zebrano wood is distinguished from many other hardwoods due to high-contrast appearance. The wood itself is generally cream or light brown, with an unusual grain pattern of dark brown or black veins. For sheer impact, zebrano is really hard to beat, but you can soften the contrast by pairing it with other woods that complement its golden hues. The highly distinctive grain is generally wavy or interlinked.

One thing to be aware of is that the grain that gives zebra wood its exotic appearance also makes the wood challenging to work with and it can be challenging to achieve the perfect finish. We offer a complete design and installation service to help you buy zebrano worktops and create the look you’re after.

Easy maintenance

Maintaining your zebrano kitchen worktops is actually easier than you might think. Simply oil regularly and wipe away any spills with a damp cloth to keep your countertops looking pristine. We recommend our OSMO Top Oil Worktop Kit for superior water resistance.

Aesthetics

If you’re looking for luxurious kitchen worktops with the real wow factor, zebrano wood has it all. The combination of creamy golden heartwood with dramatic darker stripes delivers a truly unique aesthetic appeal that elevates any kitchen space, transforming it from the heart of the home to a real showstopper.

Installation and Care for your Zebrano Kitchen Worktops

To achieve the perfect finish, we strongly recommend that you have your zebrano kitchen countertops professionally installed. Working with hardwood can be tricky, requiring specialist tools and expertise. When you buy zebrano worktops from us, we offer a complete measurement, templating and installation service for professional results.

You’ll need to properly store and acclimatise your zebrano wood worktops before installation. Without this essential preparation, your countertops can warp and split, and may not hold their dimensions or shape. Zebrano can be prone to size changes due to humidity, so it’s essential you store your worktops correctly once they’re delivered for best results.

Store your worktops flat: Your worktops should be stored flat, but never directly on the floor. Use wooden battens to spread the weight and avoid any water damage, dirt and scratches.

Store in a cool, dry area: Keep your zebrano worktops away from moisture and direct sunlight, which can cause fading.

Cover them with a breathable material: Use a breathable covering to protect against dirt and dust. Never use a plastic cover as it can prevent air circulation and trap moisture, resulting in mould and swelling.

By following these simple steps, your zebrano worktops will be in perfect condition and ready to be installed.

Maintaining your Solid Zebrano Worktops

We recommend you seal your worktops immediately after installation using OSMO oil. Although our worktops are available pre-oiled, they’ll still require a final coat once installed, to ensure lasting protection.

Follow these straightforward steps for oiling your new countertops:

Preparation: Ensure the worktop surface is clean and dry, and there’s no dust or debris.
Application and absorption: Using a lint-free cloth or soft brush, start applying a thin, even coat of oil. Make sure you work with the grain and cover the entire surface. Then leave the oil to absorb for 20-30 minutes before wiping away any excess. To ensure the oil absorbs evenly without leaving dark spots, it’s best to apply several thin coats, allowing each one to dry thoroughly before applying the next.
Curing: Your worktop will take at least 24 hours to fully cure. Follow the directions with your chosen oil and avoid intensive use before the curing time is complete.

Correctly applied, your oiled worktops will have a beautiful sheen that continues to get better with age.

Tips for Caring for your Solid Zebrano Worktops

Your zebrano worktops will last for generations to come, if you follow these 3 simple maintenance tips:

Try the water drop test: Are your worktops looking dull rather than shiny? They may no longer be watertight. Try the simple water drop test: flick some water onto your zebrano countertop. If it forms a bead, your worktop is adequately protected. If it lies flat on the surface, it’s time to oil your worktops. We recommend regular oiling with OSMO oil for the best results.
Avoid hot or dirty pans and spillages: Hot pans can leave burn marks, while dirty pan bottoms can leave a stain. Any marks can be sanded out, but your worktop must then be resealed. Always wipe up spillages immediately so they don’t have time to penetrate the surface and cause splitting and warping.
Never use chemical cleaners: Simply wipe down your zebrano worktops using water and a lint-free cloth., then dry with a separate cloth to avoid scratches.

This simple care routine will keep your stunning zebrano worktops looking their best, whatever life throws at them.

Styling Tips for Zebrano Countertops

The kitchen really is the heart of the home, and no matter what the size, solid wood worktops make a huge design statement. Here’s how to style your zebrano countertops for exceptional results.

Pair with contrasting woods: If you want to showcase your zebrano as an island, open shelving or breakfast bar, try pairing it with a dark wood like wenge or golden-hued maple for textural contrast.
Let zebrano shine with tonal hues: wood worktops and white paintwork is a classic combination, but you can give it a contemporary twist by using tonal shades that complement the warmth of the wood. Warm neutrals, butter yellow or warm whites make a great backdrop to dramatic zebrano wood if you use them to colour drench your walls and ceiling.
Add a pop of colour: It’s tempting to avoid colour with such a strongly textured wood, but plaster pink, olive green and rich navy all pair perfectly with the warmth of zebrano, creating balance and impact in a statement kitchen.
Keep it cool with pale grey: For a cool, contemporary vibe, pair zabrano worktops with a cool-toned grey. It creates the perfect backdrop, highlighting the warmth of the wood without overwhelming it. It’s a timeless look that adds depth to your space.
Finish the look with hardware: zebrano worktops look particularly good with sleek, contemporary cabinetry that doesn’t compete with the impact of your worktops. Complete the look with hardware in carbon black, or brushed brass or nickel.

FAQs

Will my zebrano worktops need much looking after?

Our premium zebrano countertops are selected for quality, and we recommend you use OSMO or Danish oil to keep them looking their best. Oil gives the oil a rich, warm sheen that gets better with age while protecting your worktops. We recommend that when you re-oil, you do so at the end of the day, so the oil has a chance to be thoroughly absorbed overnight. Never let hot pans or spillages remain on the surface and always use a soft cloth and water for cleaning, never a harsh chemical cleaner.
