Wood Bakers Tables
Most commercial kitchen work tables are constructed from stainless steel, but wooden tables offer unique benefits worth considering. Depending on your workflow and environment, a wood surface may be a valuable addition. Below, we outline the pros and cons of using wooden kitchen work tables.
Wood is naturally heat-resistant compared to metal surfaces, making it safer for handling food straight from the oven. It's also gentler on knives, reducing blade dulling over time. Unlike metal, wood has natural antibacterial properties, meaning small grooves or scratches are less likely to harbour bacteria.
Wooden tables are especially popular in bakeries. The lower heat conductivity of wood helps regulate dough temperature, and its less sticky surface makes it easier to work directly on. Wood also dampens sound, creating a quieter workspace - a bonus in high-traffic kitchens.
Another advantage is the aesthetic. Wooden work tables bring a rustic, old-world charm that can enhance the customer-facing side of your business. However, there are trade-offs. Wood is more susceptible to scratches, warping, and cracking over time. It requires regular maintenance - including oiling and sealing - and is typically more expensive both upfront and long-term. It's also heavier and flammable, which may limit its placement in certain environments.
If you're unsure which table material is best for your needs, please get in touch with our expert team. We’re happy to help you choose the right option for your kitchen.
