Our Cross-Core technology features solid-cut pickets of species-specific material, laid perpendicularly between the exterior plank, creating a balanced structure for maximum core stability and performance. Utilizing premium bonding agents, all adhesives have no added Urea-Formaldehyde and are TSCA Title VI Compliant to ensure indoor air quality.

Hallmark Home® countertops are available in a range of wood species, including locally sourced American maple and walnut, European white oak, and natural bamboo. Each countertop is crafted to meet industry-leading standards for quality and environmental safety.

Styles and Wood Options

Wood countertops offer endless possibilities for customization and style. The hardwood core of our countertops matches the outer plank structure, ensuring consistent quality. Hallmark Home® countertops feature locally sourced American maple and walnut, as well as European white oak and natural bamboo.

NeuCore Construction

Our innovative NeuCore engineered technology features cross-banded, solid-cut slabs placed inversely between exterior planks. This design evenly distributes stress for superior durability and core performance.

Warp resistance: NeuCore minimizes warping, promoting structural longevity.

Eco-friendly bonding: Slabs are joined using a non-toxic WoodBond adhesive with zero VOCs. This adhesive meets stringent environmental standards, including JAIA 010925 F and TITLE VI TSCA compliance.

Opposite Grain Positioning

Each wood layer is hand-selected and arranged with opposing grain directions, enhancing stability and durability. This method prevents warping and maintains slab integrity over time.

Rigorous Testing

Hallmark Home® countertops undergo extensive testing to ensure durability and performance:

Moisture stability: Panels are tested for changes in dimensional stability under varying moisture conditions.

Warp resistance: Materials are inspected for cupping, warping, or bond failures after exposure.

Our countertops consistently pass these stringent tests.

Relative Humidity and Moisture

Proper humidity levels are essential for maintaining wood countertop integrity.

Ideal range: Maintain a consistent 35% to 55% relative humidity year-round.

Important note: Dry environments unable to sustain this range are unsuitable for wood countertops.

Finishing Options

Our countertops are delivered natural and unfinished. Finishes provide varying levels of protection, durability, and aesthetics.

Choosing a finish: Select based on trade-offs between durability, protection, and ease of maintenance.

Water-repellent finishes: Reduce the impact of moisture and make cleaning easier.

Testing recommended: Always test finishes for stain resistance and durability before application.

Natural Dimensional Changes

Wood is a natural material and may expand or contract based on humidity:

High humidity: Wood absorbs moisture and swells.

Low humidity: Wood releases moisture and shrinks.

Kiln drying ensures an optimal moisture level at delivery, but changes over time are expected.

Warranty
