Shop By Wood
Choosing the right wood type when selecting things like doors, shutters and wood flooring can make the difference between high quality and low quality. Products like natural wood flooring need a denser, harder wood type to stand up to the wear and tear of every day life. Outdoor products like shutters, custom wood doors and exterior siding options need to be rot resistant so that your products last a life time.
