California Walnut Luxury Laminate Worktops
California Walnut Luxury Laminate Worktops - Part of the 'Real Life Laminates' Collection
Walnut groves have added broad-leafed beauty to Californian hillsides since they were first farmed there in the 1700s. Inspired by the rich, dark hue and characterful texture of these ancient walnut trees, our worktop experts created California Walnut to add a classic timber of the American Wild West to the Real Life Laminate collection.
The California Walnut has a unique, timeless appearance that works well in both contemporary and traditional homes. Its realistic, earthy tones and pattern will bring warmth and depth to your kitchen at an affordable price. This elegant and attractive worktop is easy to clean and highly water-resistant, with superior resilience to both impacts and abrasions, making it a low-maintenance option for refreshing your kitchen without forgoing a delicate appearance.
Part of our Real Life Laminates Collection, the California Walnut joins a range of laminate worktops hand-picked by our worktop experts for their true-to-life look and feel. A three-year guarantee backs this collection as standard to assure you of its durability.
All our laminate worktops are finished with high-quality polypropylene edging to complete the look. Don't forget that the worktop will come with certain (not all) edges already finished depending on the specific size of the worktop you choose. If you are cutting the worktop and leaving exposed edges you want to be sealed, you can purchase extra matching edging. Matching upstands and breakfast bars are also available.

- Assess the Cause: Determine why the worktop has bowed. Common reasons include changes in humidity or moisture content, improper installation, incorrect storage, or structural issues.
- Evaluate Damage: Check if the bowing is minor or severe. Minor bowing might be less of an issue and easier to correct.
- Avoid Cutting or Installing: If the worktop is significantly bowed, avoid cutting or installing it. Contact us to see if it can be replaced.
- Reduce Moisture Exposure: If the bowing is due to moisture, try to reduce exposure to moisture sources. Ensure there are no leaks from nearby sinks or taps.
- Weight Distribution: Place heavy objects or weights evenly across the bowed area to gradually encourage it to flatten out. Use something like heavy books or bags of flour for a couple of days.
- Flip the Worktop: If the worktop is not fixed in place permanently, flipping it over might reveal a flatter surface on the other side.
- Consult a Professional: If the bowing persists or is severe, consult a professional carpenter or installer. They can assess the situation and provide expert advice on how to fix or replace the worktop if necessary.
- Prevent Future Issues: Once the worktop is corrected, take steps to prevent future bowing by ensuring proper installation, oiling, and maintenance.
Depending on the severity and cause of the bowing, one or more of these steps should help alleviate the issue. If you're unsure or uncomfortable tackling this yourself, it's always wise to seek professional assistance.
