Wood Types
Acacia
A rare combination of beauty and strength.
It's rich, blonde-brown tones and distinctive grain patterns bring warmth and character to any space. But acacia doesn't only look nice - it is incredibly durable. Acacia wood stands up to water damage, resists scratching, and is naturally decay-resistant, making it easy to care for and clean. Additionally, its unappealing nature to insects ensures that it remains a long-lasting material for various applications.
This fast-growing timber makes a sustainable choice for furniture, as it can be farmed responsibly without harming ecosystems, supporting various industries while promoting ecological progress.
Whether used for a kitchen countertop, window stool, stairs, or a terrace, acacia retains its charm and durability for years to come.
American Oak
Timeless and always in style.
American Oak is the epitome of timeless elegance, consistently favored for its classic appeal. Its straight, uniform grain pattern, with fewer knots and swirls, makes it a top choice for luxury furniture designers. Its strong, sturdy nature, combined with its bright, light tones, adds a touch of classic charm to any home.
Remarkably, American Oak is one of the few species worldwide that is on the rise, making it an exceptionally sustainable option.
At Swoye, we harness the beauty and durability of American Oak in our countertops and window stools, seamlessly blending classic sophistication with practical functionality.
Ash
Incredible value and versatility
We’ve got a bit of a soft spot for Ash wood, especially when we give it the Swoye thermal modification treatment. This process deepens its natural color, giving it a rich, warm tone that whispers quiet luxury. But Ash isn’t just a pretty face—after modification, it’s tough enough to handle the outdoors and high-traffic areas like a champ. It’s the kind of wood that looks great and knows how to take care of itself.
Thermo Ash combines strength with style, offering a sleek, durable finish that’s perfect for any space. Not only does thermo ash resist warping and weathering, but it also has a beautiful, natural grain that enhances with age. Plus, it’s a sustainable choice, crafted from responsibly sourced wood. Whether you’re sprucing up your home or adding a touch of sophistication to your project, thermo ash delivers both elegance and endurance with minimal fuss. Be bold and give your space a timeless upgrade!
