When it comes to exotic parquet, teak is certainly among the most prized and durable woods, appreciated for its excellent physical properties and timeless appeal, along with Doussié and Iroko. However, beyond teak, Woodco has enriched its collections with two new species, elm and chestnut. These species may be considered less exotic, but they deserve a place of honor for their unique characteristics.
Teak parquet: exotic excellence
Teak parquet is one of the most renowned choices due to its exceptional resistance to moisture and weather, making it suitable for both indoor and outdoor environments.
Teak wood, with its shades that range from golden to dark brown, imparts a sense of warmth and sophistication to spaces; but there’s more, because beyond its aesthetic beauty, teak is known for its resistance to insects and mold, making it extremely durable over time.
Other exotic species
Doussié and Iroko, not present in Woodco’s collections, are also highly prized exotic woods, known for their distinctive characteristics.
Doussié, for example, is a highly valued African wood for its hardness and resistance, with tones ranging from reddish-brown to gold, often chosen for high-traffic areas due to its ability to withstand impacts.
Iroko, another wood native to Africa, is also appreciated for its qualities. Its golden tones and natural resistance to moisture make it an excellent choice for humid environments or outdoor use, making it a valid choice for those seeking a robust and long-lasting exotic wood.
The new species: elm and chestnut
With the introduction of elm and chestnut species, Woodco collections offer two new options that stand out for both their aesthetic characteristics and technical qualities. Elm wood is characterized by its warm and varied tone, ranging from honey hues to darker shades.
This species, with its pronounced grain, adds a rustic yet elegant touch to environments, and is highly appreciated for its resistance and flexibility, as well as its ability to maintain a smooth and even surface over time. Chestnut, on the other hand, is known for being a wood with a great tradition. Its light and bright coloration and delicate grain make it a refined choice for modern and classic environments. Beyond its aesthetic beauty, chestnut is appreciated for its durability, being particularly resistant to daily wear and requiring minimal maintenance.
Ultimately, the choice of wood for your parquet depends on your aesthetic and functional needs. Teak, elm, and chestnut offer a range of possibilities that perfectly adapt to different styles and needs. Thanks to their quality and resistance, these species represent durable and reliable solutions, characteristics that distinguish every Woodco product.
