Beech is always an excellent option for hardwood flooring. Its color variations and durability are major advantages, and beechwood floors wear well while retaining their smooth sheen.

  • Color: While the sapwood is usually a pale white, the heartwood is mostly reddish brown, creating a moderate to high color variation between beech floorboards.
  • Grain: The grain of beechwood is straight and often closed, with a smooth texture throughout, granting beechwood surfaces a sometimes silvery sheen.
  • Properties: Beech is often used in high-traffic areas because it wears well and stays smooth when subjected to repeated friction. The wood is elastic and hard, maintaining excellent shock-resistance.
  • Workability: While beechwood is notoriously difficult to work with hand tools, it does have great machining qualities. It sands well and holds nails. Still, beechwood has a tendency to split.
