Softwoods or conifers, from the Latin word meaning “cone-bearing,” have needles rather than leaves, they are generally light and easy to work with. 80% of all timber comes from softwood and each species has different timber type with specific qualities.

Softwoods have many applications and are found in a wide range of building components. Softwoods, like fir and spruce, have a uniform texture and a low resistance to decay, which makes them great for furniture, windows and trim. Others, like hemlock, work well in machines and are great for construction. Fir, pine, redwood and cedar are all considered construction-grade materials. These softwoods are abundant, easy to cut and shape and, especially in the cases of redwood and cedar, weather-resistant. This makes Redwood and Western Red Cedar ideal for timber cladding.

Which to Choose, Hardwood Floors or Laminate Floors?

Hardwood has been a well-liked flooring option for several generations. Recently there has been a substitute for the customary hardwood floor that is becoming more and more popular.

To make a wise choice, it’s significant to know the facts, benefits, and cons of each. This blog will help you get a better understanding of the real differences between hardwood and laminate floors. While laminate floors come incredibly close to copy the look of hardwood, nothing comes more intimate than the real thing. These laminate floors look as realistic as ever, but it’s not feasible to copy the real thing 100%. With a laminate floor, you will have repeating patterns at some point since it is just a picture. Laminate floors will typically give you more of an unfilled sound when you walk on it
