Hot Oil Dip Tank
The new hot oil dip tank at Norfolk Oak's main production mill on the Sandringham Estate, Norfolk, has recently passed a whole series of tests designed to push oiling technology to its limits. In fact the tank, the oil, the two 'secret ingredients' and of course the finish it puts on the timber have passed every test with flying colours; the results are phenomenal, and the tank is now in full production.
The basic premise of our new dip tank was fairly simple; create a tank in which we could heat up large volumes of linseed oil, and then dip any of our hardwood products from wooden worktops to windows, gates to flooring. Although it sounds simple in principle, it was a huge technical challenge.
Norfolk Oak is the only wooden worktop manufacturer or supplier in the UK to use this process to oil our wooden worktops. Despite the huge investment we have made in developing we have not increased our oiling prices to subsidise it, we have done so solely because it is a benefit to our customers and because it improves the quality of our finished product.
