I often hear about hotel furniture made of hardwood and cork. How can I distinguish them? Wood is often divided into soft and hard materials, and hotel furniture factories often refer to it as hardwood and cork. What is the true meaning of this term?
The wood commonly used in production comes from coniferous trees and Broad-leaved tree. The coniferous material is generally soft, which is also called cork in production. However, this cannot be generalized either. Some coniferous materials, such as Larix gmelinii, are hard. Broad-leaved tree are generally hard, also called hardwood.
Due to the wide variety of broad-leaved trees, they are collectively referred to as miscellaneous trees. Among them, soft materials are called cork, while hard materials such as paulownia and light wood are called hard miscellaneous, such as hemp oak, green oak, wood lotus, maple, etc. There are nearly 800 commonly used commercial material tree species in China, divided into 241 commodity material categories.
