Warranty
Congratulations on purchasing a Kitchen Butcher Block Backsplash, the best valued butcher block
product on the market today! With the proper treatment it will look great for years to come.
The Birch in this product is a slow growth, closed grain hardwood found in areas of Northern Europe.
It is a durable hardwood with similar looks and physical qualities to Hard Maple. Birch is known for
its ease of sanding, finishing, and clean look with a consistent color. Wood is a product of nature
and will display characteristics that are unique to each piece.
Care instructions:
The backsplash MUST be sealed or finished on all surfaces within 48 hours of removing shrink wrap.
When sealing with mineral oil or conditioner, apply an even, liberal coat of conditioner on all surfaces
and let absorb for approximately 20 minutes. Wipe off any excess with clean towel. Re-apply as
necessary.
If you are staining your block, make sure to stain before using any other finishing product.
There are several other options for finishing your butcher block – please see Home Depot’s paint sales
specialist for more information.
If you notice any grain raise with oil or other sealants, you can lightly sand the top with fine grit sand
paper.
General use and cleaning of this top will require frequent application of conditioner or mineral oil to
extend the life of the product. Frequency may range from every few weeks to every few months.
If finished properly, this surface can be used for food prep; however, we recommend that a cutting
board or mat be used to preserve the life and look of the block.
Always clean your work top surface before and after each use.
