A wooden floor is something beautiful and warm, and gives a pleasant sense of wellbeing. This applies just as much to the outdoors as well as indoors. An often unnoticed advantage of wood is now pleasantly making its presence felt: it doesn't heat up as intensely as other materials (e.g. stone and metal) in summer and doesn't cool down so intensely in winter.

Because it is so long-lasting, hardwood of durability level 1 and 2 is a popular material for outdoor structures.
