Empowering Architects and Designers with Free Resources
The American Hardwood Information Center has launched an exciting initiative that offers the American Hardwoods Collection absolutely free for architects and interior designers. This sample kit, paired with a detailed brochure, is a treasure trove of insights into one of nature's finest, renewable, and sustainable building materials: American hardwoods.
Explore the American Hardwoods Collection
Inside the kit, professionals will find 20 samples representing the most sought-after domestic hardwood species. Each wood sample measures six inches long, three inches wide, and a quarter inch thick, providing a solid representation of each species' unique grain patterns. The thoughtful design includes one side planed for a polished finish, while the reverse side showcases the natural rough-sawn texture, allowing designers to truly appreciate the material.
Visualize Your Ideas with the Stain Simulator
Alongside the samples, a practical stain simulator is included. This tool enables design professionals to compare clear, light, medium, and dark stain combinations side-by-side, facilitating visualization across various applications such as flooring, cabinetry, moulding, millwork, and furniture. It’s an effective way to see how different stains impact the overall aesthetic of a project.
In-Depth Knowledge for Informed Choices
The accompanying booklet serves as an invaluable resource, packed with detailed information on the sustainability of American hardwoods and their role in eco-friendly design and building. This guide also includes a comprehensive overview of each species, detailing their unique characteristics and mechanical properties, ultimately helping designers make informed choices.
This fantastic free resource is available to qualified architects and designers through the American Hardwood Information Center. Those interested can access it by visiting www.HardwoodInfo.com.
