SPEKVA’s product range comprises over 20 different wood types on stock, which enables us to fulfil almost any request for special solid wood worktops.
Each individual solid wood worktop is a unique, one of a kind natural product, for which only natural materials are used (wood, water-based glue and linseed oil/natural oil).
We take every measure possible to try to ensure our tropical raw wood comes from controlled FSC-certified forests. This provides an often vital contribution to the economy in the poor districts in Africa, Asia and South America without affecting the original rainforest.
Below shows which wood types can be supplied as FSC-certified.

Here, we will give a short review of the characteristics of the individual types of wood. Note that hardness is based on our experience and stated according to the JANKA-scale where the highest value indicates the hardest wood type. Note also, that hardness cannot be directly related to the product quality and properties. Colours between the samples shown and the actual delivery may vary. Furthermore, colour and structure of the individual staves may develop differently.
