This is especially true with softwood internal folding sliding doors which not only look great, but are an inexpensive way to enjoy a combination of open-plan living as well as more intimate living spaces. Browse our selection of softwood internal folding sliding doors below. Aston Primed 3 Light Shaker 4 Light Clear Glazed Whilst there are a multitude of softwood options, including combination blends, pine is by far the most common and affordable. Pine is a softwood with an undeniably pleasing appearance, which can be used with minimal staining to reveal the natural grain and texture of the wood. Pine doors, given the nature of their material, are generally quite unique, with the stains and patterns on every door almost as unique as a human fingerprint It’s this unique look, combined with the traditional style associated with pine doors, that make them a perfect fit for internal folding sliding doors. The juxtaposition of the modern sliding mechanism and the old-fashioned style creates something bold and comforting.
There is also so much you can do with softwood from a design perspective. For more rustic interiors, for example, you could opt for a pine finish that retains its knots and highlights the natural texture of the wood. Or you could opt for an antique softwood door with vintage, original knobs and/or handles for a more traditional look. For a more sophisticated look, meanwhile, you could opt for a clear wood with a soft glaze of varnish. The natural hues of softwood internal folding sliding doors can brighten up small rooms and make larger rooms feel more intimate and it can also be finished and painted to taste or to suit any décor. There are also doors in a multitude of styles to choose from, as, by its very nature, softwood is more adaptable than hardwood. For other uses, see Hardwood (disambiguation). Beech is a popular hardwood Hardwood is wood from dicot angiosperm trees. The term may also be used for the trees from which the wood is derived; these are usually broad-leaved temperate and tropical forests.
In temperate and boreal latitudes they are mostly deciduous, but in tropics and subtropics mostly evergreen. Hardwood contrasts with softwood (which is from gymnosperm trees). Hardwood should not be confused with the term "heartwood", which can be from hardwood or softwood. SEM images showing the presence of pores in hardwoods (oak, top) and absence in softwoods (pine, bottom) Hardwoods are produced by angiosperm trees that reproduce by flowers, and have broad leaves. Many species are deciduous. Those of temperate regions lose their leaves every autumn as temperatures fall and are dormant in the winter, but those of tropical regions may shed their leaves in response to seasonal or sporadic periods of drought. Hardwood from deciduous species, such as oak, normally shows annual growth rings, but these may be absent in some tropical hardwoods. Hardwoods have a more complex structure than softwoods and are often much slower growing as a result. The dominant feature separating "hardwoods" from softwoods is the presence of pores, or vessels.
[1] The vessels may show considerable variation in size, shape of perforation plates (simple, scalariform, reticulate, foraminate), and structure of cell wall, such as spiral thickenings. As the name suggests, the wood from these trees is generally harder than that of softwoods, but there are significant exceptions. In both groups there is an enormous variation in actual wood hardness, with the range in density in hardwoods completely including that of softwoods; some hardwoods (e.g., balsa) are softer than most softwoods, while yew is an example of a hard softwood. Hardwoods are employed in a large range of applications, including fuel, tools, construction, boat building, furniture making, musical instruments, flooring, cooking, barrels, and manufacture of charcoal. Solid hardwood joinery tends to be expensive compared to softwood. In the past, tropical hardwoods were easily available, but the supply of some species, such as Burma teak and mahogany, is now becoming scarce due to over-exploitation.
Cheaper "hardwood" doors, for instance, now consist of a thin veneer bonded to a core of softwood, plywood or medium-density fibreboard (MDF). Hardwoods may be used in a variety of objects, but are most frequently seen in furniture or musical instruments because of their density which adds to durability, appearance, and performance. Different species of hardwood lend themselves to different end uses or construction processes. This is due to the variety of characteristics apparent in different timbers, including density, grain, pore size, growth and fibre pattern, flexibility and ability to be steam bent. For example, the interlocked grain of elm wood (Ulmus spp.) makes it suitable for the making of chair seats where the driving in of legs and other components can cause splitting in other woods. There is a correlation between density and calories/volume. This makes the denser hardwoods like oak, cherry, and apple more suited for camp fires, cooking fires, and smoking meat, as they tend to burn hotter and longer than softwoods like pine or cedar whose low-density construction and highly-flammable sap make them burn quickly and without producing quite as much heat.
