Wood is one of the oldest materials used in construction and furniture, and it remains a staple choice today thanks to its natural beauty and ease of manufacturing. Understanding the different types of wood and their uses will help you choose the most suitable option for your project.
MDF wood
Medium-density compressed wood fibers. Their smooth surface makes them ideal for painting and finishing. They are used in interior doors, kitchen cabinets, shelves, and decorative items. Less expensive than natural wood, but they do not withstand high humidity.
beech
Made from the finest hardwood. Its color is light pinkish, and its grain is smooth and uniform. It is used in the manufacture of luxury furniture, doors, drawers, and stairs. It is very durable and impact-resistant.
parquet wood
Wooden planks designed for flooring. Available in various patterns (herringbone, chevron, straight). Natural parquet is made from oak, walnut, or teak, while engineered parquet uses HDF panels with a printed decorative layer.
Wood-based alternative (WPC)
A blend of wood and plastic fibers, combining the beauty of wood with the resistance of plastic to moisture and insects. Ideal for outdoor use: terraces, facades, garden fences (wooden cladding).
latte wood
Panels made of wide wooden slats bonded between two layers of veneer. Lightweight and dimensionally stable. Used in the manufacture of doors, furniture frames, and shelves.
Merentine wood
Solid tropical wood in a reddish-brown color. Resistant to moisture and insects, making it excellent for exterior doors and windows and concrete formwork.
