Obviously no two domestic or commercial environments are exactly the same. Wood is, after all, a high performance, long lasting natural product, and not all types of Hardwood/Softwood or wood based materials are suitable for all varying uses in different areas of the house or commercial areas of a building. It isn’t just the look of the timber you should consider when you select. You also need to consider the type of species chosen, performance , level of wear, type of surface finish, the environment and other important factors also should be taken into account. Wood is Hygroscopic – it readily absorbs and releases moisture into it to suit the level of the surrounding temperature and humidity – for this reason high humidity areas such as bathrooms and saunas are not good areas to use wood or wood based products in.
