Interior Uses for Timber and Wood

Timber flooring, timber wall panelling, solid or timber veneer doors, skirtings, mouldings window joinery kitchen joinery and of course furniture.
As with all construction, interior and exterior, technology in manufacturing has lead to many more timber products being available to use and at more cost effective prices.
