Oak – Always a good standby, Oak is perfect for many types of construction. Its great strength and durability have graced British warships, and it can now be a part of your home. It is also popular for its robust and distinctive graining.

Bamboo – The basis for vast amounts of building and construction work in Asia, bamboo is not actually a wood; it is, in fact, a grass. As with Oak, it is durable and one of the most sustainable natural resources available.

Cherry Wood – One of the most decorative options around the wood begins to darken over time and with use. It’s still an excellent, robust option and can be polished to a beautiful sheen.

Mahogany – Used for in the most luxurious projects. Mahogany is a deep reddish-brown colour that is greatly favoured for the most high-end home. It is also terrific at being resistant to the massive amount of wear and tear that the floor can be exposed to.
