Which material is right for me

Every type of wood offers unique properties – from strength and durability to aesthetic appearance and price. Many types of wood-based materials are available on the market today, from solid wood to composite boards, each with its own specific use. If you want your furniture to meet all your functional and design requirements, it is important to understand the different types of wood and their advantages. In this overview we will introduce you to the most commonly used wood materials and help you choose the best one for your project.

Solid wood is considered one of the highest-quality and most durable options. It is a natural material that offers a unique structure and colour depending on the species of tree. The most common types of solid wood include:

• Oak: Hard, durable and elegant. Ideal for living-room and dining-room furniture. Has a distinctive grain and a natural light or darker shade.
• Beech: A firm wood with a fine texture, suitable for making floors, tables and chairs. It has a lighter colour and takes surface finishing very well.
• Walnut: A rare, dark and luxurious wood, a favourite in luxury interiors. Ideal for details and decorative elements.

Particleboard (chipboard) and MDF (medium-density fibreboard) are composite materials made from fine wood fibres and adhesive. They are durable and have a wide range of uses:

Laminated boards are very popular for their resistance to wear and a wide variety of surface finishes.

Veneer is a thin layer of real wood applied to a base, giving the final product the look and feel of solid wood at a lower price.

Every type of wood has its advantages and ideal use. When choosing, consider the purpose of the furniture, the environment it will live in, your budget and the look you are after. Our team is happy to help you with the selection so the result fits your space and your lifestyle perfectly.
