At Minerva, we believe that the materials used in creating your kitchen are just as important as the design itself. Our commitment to quality craftsmanship is matched by our dedication to using sustainable, ethically sourced materials that reflect both durability and beauty.
Every kitchen we create is built to last, and the choice of wood plays a significant role in ensuring that your kitchen is not only functional and stunning but also environmentally responsible.
The Timeless Appeal of Oak
One of the most popular materials we use at Minerva is Oak. Known for its natural beauty, oak is prized for its warm, inviting grain, bringing a sense of timeless elegance to any kitchen. We use oak as standard in our dovetailed drawer boxes, a construction method that has been trusted for centuries for its strength and durability. This means that when you choose Minerva, you're not just choosing a kitchen that looks good—you're investing in one that will stand the test of time.
Oak's durability is another reason it remains popular among our customers. Its hardness and resistance make it ideal for kitchens, where everyday life is at its busiest. Whether you prefer a classic aesthetic or a more modern look, oak provides the perfect foundation for a kitchen that feels both welcoming and enduring.
Walnut: A Touch of Luxury
For those seeking an even more luxurious finish, we offer walnut—a rich, chocolate-coloured wood that exudes sophistication. Walnut's deep hues and striking grain pattern make it a showstopper in any kitchen, adding a sense of refinement and exclusivity. It's the perfect choice for homeowners who want to elevate their kitchen design with an elegant and unique material.
Walnut not only brings a sense of luxury to your space but is also incredibly durable. Like Oak, Walnut is known for its longevity and resistance to wear, ensuring that your kitchen will retain its beauty for years to come. Its distinctive colour deepens over time, adding even more character and charm to your home.
Ethically Sourced Materials from FSC-Approved Merchants
At Minerva, we don't just focus on aesthetics and durability; we also take pride in sourcing our materials responsibly. All of the Oak and Walnut we use comes from a local wood merchant in Pontrilas, who is FSC (Forest Stewardship Council) approved. The FSC certification is more than just a label—it's a guarantee that the wood we use comes from forests that are managed in a way that preserves biodiversity, supports local communities, and ensures long-term environmental sustainability.
