Swoye ash wood, kiln-dried at 55°C, is known for its high stability and distinctive light color with subtle grain patterns. The drying process reduces the wood’s moisture content, limiting the risk of warping and improving long-term durability.

While not as intensive as thermal modification, kiln drying enhances the performance of ash in both interior and exterior applications. With its natural hardness, resilience, and elegant appearance, ash countertops and components are a durable, practical, and aesthetic choice for any home.

1. Seal Ash Countertops Before Use
Before installation, apply oil, wax, or lacquer to all sides of the solid ash countertop. This protective layer helps prevent moisture absorption, staining, and early wear.

2. Clean Ash Countertops Safely
Wipe spills immediately with a soft cloth. For daily cleaning, use mild soap and water — never harsh chemicals or abrasive pads. Keep your ash wood surface smooth and food-safe.

3. Protect from Heat and Standing Water
Always use trivets for hot pots and pans, and avoid leaving wet items on the surface. Use cutting boards instead of chopping directly on the ash countertop to reduce scratches and dents.

4. Reapply Oil or Finish Regularly
Refresh the protective layer once or twice a year, or more often in high-use kitchens. Re-oiling keeps your ash countertop looking natural while extending its lifespan.
