Is this wood or composite? If it is Trex, could you please tell me what color it is?

The decking material is Ipe’ which is an exotic hardwood from Central America. It is finished using “Penofin” deep penetrating Rosewood oil for hardwood. For more general information visit www.ipedecking.com

POLL: What's your kitchen worktop material?

Another vote for Dekton and Sileston Quartz worktops, use them all the time in our projects as so much more forgiving and low maintenance than granite or marble. Agree that Corian is a good option if you have a large island to prevent visible joins, whilst it has other benefits you do need to be very careful when it comes to heat. Vast range of colours and textures in all types nowadays so the type of material shouldn't limit the effect you want to achieve - be that traditional or contemporary. I am always a big advocate that a worktop is an investment, there is no point spending a large sum on a beautiful quality kitchen and then finishing it off with a worktop that won't stand up to time as well as the rest of the room or cheapen the look - I always recommend to go for the best you can afford.

Hi there! Hemp, linen, cotton, birch are good non-pvc alternatives, as for where to buy them - I'd take a look on John Lewis, Amazon, eBay, M&S and Wayfair to start. Hope that helps, keep me updated if you aren't able to find one!

Hi Gina This is almost definitely sandstone. Yorkshire sandstone is quite yellowy beige so could well be from a local quarry. There are dozens in Yorkshire. Are you looking to reproduce it or just for the history. Do your deeds have the architects name or builder's name. It looks in keeping with the original build. There are Arts and Crafts houses by designers such as Edgar Wood around West Yorks with similar looks. Banney Royd in Huddersfield is a good example. Open to public now I think.

We are looking for character wood for a curved desk and window seat at the moment! This piece will be a bit too short I think but perhaps you can help with sourcing something! Do get in touch - info@kvistdesign.co.uk - Christine

Is this Trex or an exotic hardwood from Central America? I received two answers!

The first picture you inquired about is Ipe’. The additional photo posted is Trex. Trex will probably be half the initial cost and require less maintenance. The Ipe is absolutely stunning, will last forever but will naturally turn a beautiful gray without yearly application of oil. The wood is so dense the oil simply can’t penetrate deep enough to prevent the natural change of color due to weather. However...it also doesn’t rot and it seems immune to wood boring bugs. My client pressure washes, lightly sands and reseals annually to keep the look. Other clients will let theirs turn gray and naturally weather to avoid the cost of maintenance or because they prefer the silver color. Pictured is a piece of Ipe salvaged from the Atlantic City Boardwalk after being untreated at the beach front conditions for forty years. The lack of deterioration is truly impressive. More information then you may have wanted...best of luck with your project!
