What is Hardwood Used For?

Hardwood is used in a variety of different applications because of its unique and somewhat versatile characteristics; to give you a glimpse into what the hardwood in Liverpool can be used we here at Border Hardwood have devised the following guide.

Hardwood originates from deciduous trees, like Walnut, Mahogany, Cheery, Oak and Teak, and they are defined by their fine, compact grain, heavy weight and longevity. Due to this, hardwood can be used for a variety of different things, including furniture making, flooring, and structural beams in a construction project.

Hardwood Flooring

Perfect for homeowners and commercial property owners, the look and feel of hardwood flooring emits a sense of luxurious warmth, complementing many different interior designs and creating a striking interior design which is practical. The floor, due to the compact grain can withstand heavy foot traffic, and because it is wood you can simply sand the immediate surface off should it begin to look worn.

Making Furniture

The sturdy structure of hardwood makes it ideal for making furniture, such as tables and chairs which are used frequently, and which need to be able to take varying weights. Here at Border Hardwood we stock a variety of different hardwoods, and because of this you are sure to find the look, colouring and style you are looking for.

Hardwood Beams

Often in period property’s hardwood beams are preferred over RSJ which are unsympathetic to the traditional design and construction of the property. As such, oak beams are commonly used due to their strength and longevity, and subsequently they can be sourced from us here at Border Hardwood.
