Hi there,
I'm hoping to build a belfast sink unit in my victorian ground floor utility/kitchen space. It would be sitting directly on unsealed brick flooring (the surface of which can usually be a little damp to the touch), and the humidity can usually be around 70-85% in that part of the room (although I'm now taking steps to increase ventilation and heating to a stable temperature)
My question is - what kind of timber should I choose for something like the image below? I'm trying to be as economic as possible while avoiding anything that won't rot/have moisture related issues within the next several years.
It doesn't have to look super pretty as it'll probably have a cafe skirt covering most of it, or a face frame. So either sealing treatment/paint is fine, whichever helps avoid most issues.
I see furniturenation for example are quite happy to sell sink units in redwood pine - would that hold up well enough in my conditions? Or would I need to go all the way to something like Oak.
Appreciate any pointers!
Cheers
