Amaranth

Aphormosia

Afromosia wood is a valuable species of wood, reminiscent of the fine-textured teak. Freshly sawn wood has a tan core and a narrow, slightly lighter sapwood. The yellow color fades over time. The fibers are straight, slightly intertwined. The texture is fine, medium gloss.

Bamboo

Karelian birch

Karelian birch is a rarity all over the world: in international trade it is measured not by cubic meters, like other trees, but by kilograms. It is mainly used for decorative inserts in drawings in art flooring .. Wood: After processing, the Karelian birch has a cream to dark yellow color with a bizarre pattern reminiscent of marble, a pronounced mother-of-pearl shine is characteristic.

Bubinga

The color of the core is brown to violet red. Despite its high hardness, it is relatively easy to process. To obtain the necessary texture pattern on the veneer surface, a radial cut (a simpler veneer pattern) or a circular eccentric peeling (bright colorful surface) is used. Careful and slow drying is recommended to avoid cracking.

Beech

Relative humidity in the room should not be lower than 45 and above 55%. Due to the uniform structure of wood, beech parquet visually looks calm, warm, even soft. Beech wood is solid, durable, heavy and flexible, pricks easily. The steamed beech wood bends well. It is well painted and imitated under a nut and mahogany. The color of the wood is yellowish or reddish white. Over time, the color becomes more saturated. Annual layers are clearly distinguished, core rays are visible in all sections. Wood does not shine.

The sapwood is different from the core: it is lighter - its color is from almost white to pale yellow; sapwood width - 3 cm.

Pear

The color of the wood is pink or reddish brown. Sapwood of the same color with ripe wood. There are core repetitions in the form of dark-colored dots at the end and brownish dots on a radial cut. Core rays and annual layers stand out when split in the radial direction in the form of narrow and short stripes of a darker color than wood. Pear parquet has virtually no structure.

Oak

Shades of wood from light brown to tan with a beautiful texture on the cut. Sapwood of oak is light yellow. Oak wood has a core of dark brown or tan and a narrow tan sapwood. Annual layers and wide core rays are clearly visible in all sections. To give the oak wood higher decorative qualities, it is often subjected to staining or etching - many years it is kept in water, from which the wood acquires a silky dark purple color. Staining increases the hardness of the wood, but at the same time increases its fragility.

Zebrano

Zebrano is very decorative, well polished and polished. There are African and Asian zebranos. The African has a more even structure, the Asian has a grayish tint, the structure is more vibrant Zebrano is used mainly in the form of veneer, for inlaying, as well as in the manufacture of parquet or massive boards. The name "zebrano" is used for wood with a pattern that resembles a zebra coloring: dark stripes on a light background. The wood is decorative light golden in color, with narrow strokes from dark brown to almost black. The surface is shiny. The texture is somewhat large. The wood is hard and heavy.

The noble dark brown shade acquires a light tint (“silver patina”) over time, which gives the flooring originality and uniqueness. 

Koto

Sapwood and core are not distinguished. The wood is cream-colored, sometimes with a grayish tint. The fibers are confused and twisted. The texture is moderately large. On radial cuts of wood, a speckled pattern. Unstable wood. In most respects, it is similar to ash wood, but inferior to it in toughness, hardness and especially in splitting resistance.

Maple

The color of the wood is white with yellow or reddish hues. Numerous core rays are visible across all sections. Sapwood and mature wood practically do not differ. The surface is glossy with a pearly unique shine, depending on the light changes color from pink to gray. The radial cut is especially beautiful.

Over the years, under the influence of climatic conditions, the wood acquires a silver-gray shade, similar to teak wood. Merbau is called an iron tree: merbau parquet is resistant to external mechanical influences, does not burn out, repels excessive moisture, does not rot at all, is resistant to deformation and does not dry out.

Larch 

It has a reddish-brown core and a sharply delimited narrow white or slightly yellowish sapwood, well-visible annual layers with a clear boundary between early and late wood. The texture of larch is determined on longitudinal sections by the width of annual layers, the difference in the color of late and early wood, as well as the core and sapwood. The texture on tangential sections is especially rich and beautiful. The wood is slightly knotted. When using protective coatings, products made of it practically do not change their humidity during operation, therefore, larch is used for parquet and parquet boards. The parquet has a golden hue, which gives the interior a "sunshine" and spaciousness.

Muddy

In terms of basic mechanical loads, it is similar to ash wood, but inferior to it in impact strength, hardness and especially in splitting resistance. When using nails and self-tapping screws, it can crack, therefore it requires preliminary drilling of holes. The color of mature wood is from light brown to olive brown. with rays of dark purple color. Muteniya wood is brilliant. When working and coating Muteniya wood, it is not recommended to use primers, varnishes and glues on a water basis, this is due to the increased hygroscopicity of this wood.

Olive

The main color is yellow, with clear dark veins that are unevenly distributed on the surface. The texture is marble, motley. The sapwood is light brown, later darkens somewhat. It is distinguished by high wear resistance. A necessary condition for the operation of the olive parquet floor is strict adherence to temperature and humidity conditions (constant humidity 45 - 65%). The olive tree is not large, therefore parquet planks made of it have a relatively small format.

Nut

The main color of wood is gray and brown scales with almost black veins. Creamy white sapwood. Wood has a luxurious coating, which becomes brighter with age. Walnut has a pronounced texture that forms complex compositions. Walnut parquet is optimal in contrasting combination with lighter breeds. In addition to a rich palette of shades and mesmerizing patterns, walnut has a very pleasant smell and pearly luster.

Paduc

This is one of the excellent shady tropical trees. It has a wide crown, long branches almost touching the ground, similar to the branches of a weeping willow. Blood red to dark brown wood with red touches. The sapwood is the color of oatmeal, wide (often up to 200 mm). Fibers are straight or slightly tangled. The texture is moderately large. The wood is extremely durable. The average life of the wood in contact with the soil is 25 years. However, it is susceptible to attack by pest beetles.

Rosewood

The core wood has a purplish-brown color and is distinguished by a beautiful alternation of light and dark stripes. Sapwood sharply differs in color from sound wood. Wood has a subtle aroma. The fibers are intertwined and the radial cut gives a striped pattern. The texture is uniform and large. A high-quality, high-quality parquet floor is produced from rosewood, which is considered the most diverse in the number of colors in its wood.

Palo Santo

The core wood is brown, black and green (from light olive green to chocolate brown, the surface of fresh wood often turns dark green when exposed to light), with stripes. The sapwood is usually thin, light yellow. The density of this wood ranges from 920 to 1100 kg / m³. The wood texture has a very expressive striped pattern created by multidirectional fibers located in narrow zones with a variable angle with respect to the vessels

Sycamore

The peculiarity of a plane tree is in a wide range of shades even within the limits of one log: from pink-gray to red-brown, or even yellow. The disadvantages of sycamore include an increased tendency to warp and rot, which leads to a limitation of its use: dry rooms. The best is considered the texture of the plane tree parquet, called by the masters "snake skin".

The kernel is reddish brown.

Teak

A feature of the breed is longevity, strength and incredible stability in humid conditions (not subject to decay and decomposition due to the high content of natural oil in wood): The teak has a dark golden color, which turns into dark brown or almost black under prolonged exposure to the atmosphere . Teak is used in the production of parquet, solid planks, flooring and stairs. Under the influence of the external environment, teak parquet darkens. The texture is large, heterogeneous, usually straight fiber

Yarra  

The wood has a color from dark plum to reddish brown. The zabolon is whitish or pale brown, differs in color from ripe wood, but there is no sharp color border between them. Shine gives a faint.
