The modern trend towards wooden worktops in kitchens and bathrooms has led to the problem of how to protect and keep worktops looking good whilst ensuring they can stand up to daily wear and tear.

In awareness of these issues, Liberon has developed Worktop Finish and Seal, a 2-in-1 protector of wooden worktops. Its clear finish soaks into the timber to ensure that stains, grease and water do not penetrate the timber and cause damage to the wood. It is also heat proof, ideal in the kitchen.

The wax-enriched acrylic finish is Food Safe – conforming to ENV1186 – parts 1, 2 and 3. This means that the contact time for acid and greasy solid food is limited to two hours. As long as food is removed within this time, the wood will not be damaged.
What’s more, Worktop Finish and Seal is environmentally friendly, being water-based and benefitting from the prestigious European Eco-label, a standard awarded to products conforming to strict environmental criteria.

The biggest asset of the new Worktop Finish and Seal is however its ease of use. Unlike oils, it is not necessary to wipe the excess Worktop Finish and Seal off after each coat. Simply brush the product onto a clean worktop and after around 30 minutes it will be dry and ready for the next coat. After a light sanding, the second coat can be applied and in just 24 hours the worktop is ready for use, making this product ideal for DIY beginners and people with little time for the job in hand.

With a clear matt finish which does not change the natural colour of the timber, Worktop Finish and Seal really does tick all the boxes.

Available in two sizes, Worktop Finish and Seal has an SSP of £6.49 for the 250ml and £8.99 for the 500ml. Visit www.liberon.co.uk or call 0044 (0)1797367555.
