Birch Wood Flooring

Birch Wood Provides High-Grade Flooring & Other Worthwhile Woodworking Options

Birch comes from the betula lutea tree and is a standard choice for high-grade flooring, joinery, and plywood. Birch lumber is also used for furniture upholstery frames, paneling, and veneers. Other varieties of birch include betula wood, grey birch, silver birch, hard birch, and American birch. Birch sapwood is light yellow in color while the color of birch heartwood is reddish brown. Post-staining, the color variances of birch are less pronounced. Birch wood also features a straight grain with a fine and even texture. Many homeowners choose birch flooring to give their home that regal look.
