For a sophisticated, individual look, wood is the natural choice. Each piece is as unique as a fingerprint. And each species has a distinct feel and personality all its own. From a purely aesthetic viewpoint, you will not find another material that can match wood's elegance and charm. Composite materials try to mimic it, but none have been able to capture the texture, depth and beauty of the real thing.

Wood is also the practical choice. It's a superb natural insulator. When finished properly and maintained, wood is extremly durable, and resistant to time and the elements. And wood is a naturally renewable resource. We take seriously our commitment to the environment and to wood, one of nature's most precious resources. That's why we obtain our wood exclusively from responsible managed forests.

At Architectural Traditions, we can help you select the right species of wood for your particular purpose. All of the softwood and hardwood species we offer can be used for interior applications. For the exterior, if the product is protected from direct sunlight and moisture, all species will perform. From the way we select our lumber, to the fine finishes we use, we never compromise!
