Solid Timber Benchtops for Kitchens, Bathrooms, Laundries and Commercial Interiors
A timber benchtop does more than provide a work surface. It adds texture, warmth and individuality to a space. Unlike manufactured-look surfaces, timber brings natural grain, colour variation and depth that can complement both modern and traditional interiors.
DGI glulam timber benchtops are suitable for:
- Kitchen benchtops and island tops
- Bathroom vanity tops
- Laundry benchtops
- Timber countertops and service counters
- Bar tops, café counters and restaurant surfaces
- Display shelving and retail fixtures
- Office, showroom and commercial fit-out surfaces
- Furniture panels, tabletops and shelving
Because every project is different, DGI can assist with custom timber benchtops made to suit your dimensions, application and design intent.
Why Choose a DGI Timber Benchtop?
- Made to order for your project : Your benchtop can be manufactured to suit the size, thickness, finish and edge profile required for your project. This makes DGI suitable for both straightforward benchtops and more specific custom timber surfaces.
- Natural timber character: Every timber species has its own colour, grain and visual personality. Whether you are after a warm feature surface, a subtle natural finish or a more distinctive grain, DGI offers a broad timber selection to help achieve the right look.
- Practical and repairable: Solid timber is durable, practical and able to be maintained over time. With the right finish, care and installation approach, timber benchtops can be refreshed, repaired or reinvigorated during their life.
- Suitable for residential and commercial use: DGI timber benchtops are used across homes, hospitality venues, offices, showrooms, public spaces and commercial interiors. This makes them suitable for designers, builders, cabinet makers, shopfitters and renovators looking for a natural surface with warmth and presence.

DGI timber benchtops are available in more than 25 timber species, giving you flexibility across colour, grain, density and design style.
Depending on your project, you may prefer:
- Light timbers for a clean, bright and contemporary feel
- Mid-tone timbers for warmth and versatility
- Darker timbers for contrast, richness and a premium feature surface
- Recycled timber for character and individuality
- Feature-grade timber where natural variation is part of the design intent
For best results, timber selection should be matched to the application, finish, usage and surrounding materials.
Please refer to Timber Range & Timber Properties for more details.
In addition to stock species, special made to order benchtops can be processed through one of our manufacturing plants.
Finishes for Timber Benchtops
The finish plays an important role in the look, feel, durability and maintenance of your timber benchtop.
DGI recommends finish options including:
DGI Polyurethane: A 2-pack finish designed to provide a hard-wearing surface with strong chemical and abrasion resistance. This is often suited to projects where durability and surface protection are key priorities.

DGI Country Oil: A natural-look finish that is economical, easy to apply and simple to maintain. This can be a good option where a more natural timber appearance and maintenance-friendly finish are preferred. The right finish will depend on how the benchtop will be used, where it will be installed and the level of maintenance expected.

Edge Details:
DGI can manufacture timber benchtops with standard or specially created edge details to suit the design of your cabinetry, furniture or commercial fit-out.
Edge profile options can help influence the overall style of the benchtop, from simple and modern through to more detailed or traditional finishes.
If your project requires a specific edge detail, include it with your enquiry or drawings so the team can review what is required.
