Butcher Block Countertops Ideas
When the kitchen remodeling is faced with financial issues, the best solution comes into my mind automatically: Butcher block countertops ideas and butcher block island tops. Butcher blocks are mostly known as chopper’s block but the difference is the wood filler for butcher blocks. Therefore butcher blocks are more durable than chopper blocks but at the same time cost-friendly countertops. The other face of the medallion is the sustainability and natural blending look.
Wood types for Butcher Block Countertops
Budgeting your kitchen remodeling would be easy by having the below wood types. The cost of the countertop would also vary with respect to the thickness of the butcher block as well. The thickness can go in between 1.5 inches and 6 inches.
Below are the less expensive to more expensive options:
Birch
Appalachian Red Oak,
Hard Rock Maple,
Cherry
Hickory,
Acacia,
Walnut and
Teak
There are also blended and end grain options.

Trends In Butcher Block Countertop Using For Kitchen Remodeling
Butcher Block Countertops are biodegradable and eco-friendly. This remodeling element is one of the oldest elements ever. Remember to prepare the food, it needs some attention when the butcher block is in service.
Over the Kitchen Island Base as Island Top:
It can be used either one-piece plain surface or with the sink, using next to the stove would cause some burns and harm.
The trendy way is combining with quartz island top or granite island top. The end of the island or half of the island would be butcher block.
Most island bases are giving the contrast color to the kitchen and the butcher block countertop needs to match with base color and backsplash color.
If the sink is an option, long narrow sinks are good for entertaining, round sinks are on the far end of the island, and rectangle or square sinks are close to the center.
Countertops:
Butcher Block countertops are pretty good-looking if U Shape or L Shape kitchen layouts are considered.
Kitchen Styles Matching With Butcher Block Countertops
Rustic style, french country style, and farmhouse style are the natural styles for butcher block countertops. Besides these, Contemporary, Traditional, Transitional, Craftsman, Beach House, and Eclectic styles are the options if you have a keen-eyed designer.
Hope my 36 pictures make you happy while you are in the middle of the remodeling process.
