FINISH SHOWCASE: TIMBER
At ASH Door Furniture, we offer timber handles in a carefully curated selection of wood species, including ash, beech, black walnut, iroko, maple, oak, and sapele. Each variety brings its own distinctive grain pattern, tone, and texture, ensuring a refined and organic aesthetic that complements a range of interiors.
One of the defining qualities of timber is its natural warmth and inviting character. Unlike metal, which can feel cold and industrial, wood has an inherent softness that makes spaces feel more welcoming and tactile. This warmth extends beyond its visual appeal—wood has low thermal conductivity, meaning it remains comfortable to the touch even in cold climates or air-conditioned environments where metal handles might feel uncomfortably cool.
The tactile experience of timber is another reason it remains a sought-after material. The natural grain provides a subtle texture that enhances grip, while expertly applied finishes can further elevate its smoothness and comfort. Whether left raw for a more natural feel or polished for a refined touch, timber handles offer an interaction that is both organic and luxurious.
Timber also boasts exceptional design versatility. It can be combined with metal for a striking contrast, carved into ergonomic forms, stained to complement surrounding interiors, or used as an accent detail that brings warmth to contemporary or traditional spaces. Each wood species offers unique variations in colour and grain, allowing for tailored design choices that align with individual preference.
Beyond beauty and function, timber is also an environmentally responsible choice. When sourced sustainably, it is a renewable material with a significantly lower carbon footprint than metal production. Additionally, at the end of its lifespan, wood is biodegradable, reinforcing its status as a naturally sustainable option.
At ASH Door Furniture, we believe in the timeless appeal of natural materials. Our timber handles celebrate the perfect balance of craftsmanship, warmth, and sustainability, offering a sophisticated yet organic touch to any interior.
