Living and building with wood is back in fashion: table tops, kitchen worktops, desks, washbasins in the bathroom – even individual walls or even an entire house made of wood are becoming increasingly popular. Why is that?
At home in the forest
Niko Wachter, master carpenter from Neukirch, has a simple answer: “We go out into nature to relax. And we can also celebrate these positive qualities of nature in our homes”. By using wood in the furnishings and bringing the forest into your home. We don’t have to make fridges out of apartments, he is convinced – after all, people want to live in them.
A cozy living experience, away from the fast pace of everyday life. This is offered by the renewable raw material wood, in the grain of which you can visually trace the history of the tree as it has grown over the years. Wood conveys stability and can therefore have a calming effect. For many, this is a welcome contrast in times when everything seems to change from one day to the next.
Care for wooden furniture
Wood can be excellently protected against dirt and moisture by oiling and waxing. So you don’t get any toxins in your kitchen or bathroom. Teak wood is particularly suitable here: it falls into the highest resistance class 1 according to DIN against weather influences such as moisture and temperature fluctuations.
Care solid teak boards should still be maintained regularly. This also emphasizes the wood color, which shimmers between honey yellow and golden brown. After each oiling or waxing, the grain reappears fresh.
Solid teak wood panels are available from Betterwood in 18mm, 34mm and 40mm thickness. Depending on the desired use, as a worktop in the kitchen, as a dining table, washstand in the bathroom or as a desk, the right size can be selected.
