At one time, beech was just about the most popular choice for wood flooring in the UK. European beech is available in long lengths, wide boards, and in veneers. It ranges in colour from light cream to medium pink and dark brown. Because of its sensitivity to moisture, beech remains extremely unstable. If you are looking for a lightish wood with little grain, then beech will serve the purpose.
