Kukesi is a professional cork craft products manufacturer, with many years of experience, providing high-quality products and competitive prices, today I will introduce the difference between softwood and hardwood.
Cork is composed of many flat cells arranged.
The cells often contain resin and tannin compounds. The cells are filled with air. So the cork generally has a color, and the texture is relatively light, soft and elastic, impervious to water, and not easily affected by chemicals. It is also a poor conductor of electricity, heat and sound.
The texture of hardwood is relatively hard, and it grows slowly, and the wood structure is fine and compact. Generally, such wood is relatively heavy.
The difference between softwood and hardwood is mainly divided into the following categories:
1. Structure
The biggest difference between softwood and hardwood is that the internal structure of the two woods is different. Generally, softwood is composed of many flat cells, and the interior of this cell is filled with air, which causes the growing softwood to appear very soft. It is precisely because of this that the beautiful color of the cork oil is made. Compared with the softwood, the hardwood is very firm and compact, and with the passage of time, the hardwood will leave beautiful annual rings.
2. Different hardness
Although the texture of hardwood is very hard, it does not mean that all hardwoods are hard. The hardness of hardwoods is very different. Even some hardwoods are softer than softwoods. For example, balsa wood is softer than softwood, and softwood is not It is as soft as we imagined, and a lot of cork can be made into the seats we need every day.
3. Price
Compared with softwood box hardwood, the price of hardwood is more expensive. Because many hardwoods are precious tree species, and the tree species are relatively scarce, they are also good materials for furniture, so its market price is relatively higher, while softwood The species of these trees are more common, so the price is relatively low.
4. Beautiful and practical
The texture of hardwood is hard and beautiful, and the fixtures made are even more exquisite. They are durable and durable. The softwood furniture is soft and needs maintenance. After maintenance, it can be used for a longer time.
