What are the properties of beech wood?

Beech wood is a European hardwood appreciated for its mechanical and aesthetic qualities. With its light tone – from pinkish white to pale brown – and fine grain, it brings a touch of elegant simplicity to any interior.

Its technical performance makes it a reliable material:

  • Very hard and resistant to wear and impact
  • Good dimensional stability once dry, with little deformation
  • High density for excellent structural strength

On the aesthetic side, beech is appreciated for:

  • A fine and even grain that suits all styles
  • A smooth surface that is easy to work and enhance
  • Great compatibility with finishes (oil, varnish, stain)

One precaution: beech is sensitive to humidity. It is therefore essential to apply a protective finish before use.

Ideal for making furniture, stairs or custom fittings, beech wood is a safe choice for combining strength and aesthetics in your creations.
