Lagan is the new name for the old Pronomen. These are the counters I have in my NJ kitchen. No splitting, germs (? lol, funny), whatever. As with almost any bb, it will warp if you don't properly store/acclimate it prior to install or if you don't finish it with something. Do a search here for IKEA BB countertops - you should find plenty of hits. Waterlox is available from the Waterlox website; also available at some local places - you'll have to call around. IKEA does not have it and is not affiliated with Waterlox. Yes, you just go to IKEA to the Kitchens department and order - then pick up right there and then in the Furniture Pick-Up and take them with you. If you need, you can also arrange for home delivery, but I've never done that so I can't comment on that. Here is a link that might be useful: One IKEA BB thread with pics

They have stock sizing. We used the 73" X 39" for our separate peninsula and had a woodworker to the sink cut-out and routing. We also used the Lagan (now discontinued) for the seat of our banquette, which DH cut and joined together himself; the joint is covered by a cushion. IIRC, Lumber Liquidators also sells BB countertops in longer lengths. Or did you mean deeper, as in from front to back? You may have to go more custom route if you have more depth. BTW, we have plenty of cut BB scraps, and none of them look like EmikoF2's. That definitely looks like a "bad" batch. So sorry. :(

Florantha.. Yes very chicken! Blue is really stretching it..definitely no talk of red!! Coastal..I think even blue countertops would be stretching it for me but I love the photo you posted and who knows ..maybe next time around I will go more bold ! Fori..really funny you asked that as I told my husband to save me any leftover pieces after he finished cutting the countertops. Well I just arrived at the beach lastnight and he presented a 2 inch cutting board! Thats how close we were on the other sections. Phew! It was so close. We bought 5 of the @96" long pieces of counter and there is nothing left!! So guess I will have to sand down the test samples when we are done and use those.Gifts are a neat idea! Was hoping for a larger piece for myself though. Guess he could join them when he has nothing else to do! Tceye..I don't have the catalog with me but it is probably the same piece that inspired me in the storewas they had a white washed looking sample and I showed my husband. He said he liked it but would prefer real wood.I think it was a laminate piece and had a metal trim on it. But it would have worked great in our space and saved a lot of work, so hopefully in the end we will be satisfied. update on the progress: the rest of the counters are cut but not treated and the base for the island is done. We had a white cover panel that was miscut so that is serving as a temporary counter and it looks great. Seeing it with the rest of the unfinished butcher block makes me think we will not stain the perimeter.just water lox it. I will try to take a picture on my phone and post it today. It's feeling more like a kitchen already!

Found the below link at the FAQ's, on the Waterlox website. If you have already seen it, please excuse the interruption :). I only used the original sealer on my counter tops, but would really like to try a satin finish - the original is pretty glossy after 6 coats...
