Overview of PSC (Premium Surface Collection) Wood Pattern Types
2026/09/24

Here is a quick overview of the wood pattern options available in PSC (Premium Surface Collection), a surfacing material widely favored for furniture, doors, millwork, and interior architectural components.
The current PSC lineup features 83 items, with the distribution of pattern types shown in the graph. Wood grain patterns account for approximately 80% of the entire collection.

While the variety of wood patterns continues to diversify, the core species used in living spaces remain consistent, even as their relative popularity shifts. Below are the key wood species featured in our collection.
|||| Primary Wood Species

Oak
While there are many oak varieties, North American White Oak is one of the most widely used species in the global residential and commercial market. As a ring-porous wood with distinct vessel pores running along its growth rings, it features a bold, powerful grain that retains its natural character even when stained. This flexibility allows it to suit a wide spectrum of interior styles; from natural looks with clear or soap finishes to rich, dignified aesthetics created with dark stains.

Walnut
Walnut generally falls into two categories: Black Walnut, known for its deep, purplish-brown tones, and European Walnut, characterized by a lighter hue. Black Walnut is frequently finished with oils or dark stains to highlight its rich brown color. Widely recognized globally as a premium hardwood, it represents luxury craftsmanship. Its smooth texture, dynamic color variations, and refined depth suit everything from authentic vintage styling to sleek modern aesthetics. European Walnut features a gentle, flowing grain and is similarly prized as a rare, high-end species for fine furniture.

Elm
Elm is a ring-porous wood that pairs a defined grain with an elegant atmosphere. Featuring a calm, pale yellow-brown base color, it adapts to diverse interior concepts; ranging from rustic charm to delicate, feminine designs depending on the finish. In recent Milan Design Week showcases, elm (alongside ash) has emerged as a major trend in ebonized "black wood" treatments.

Ash
A durable hardwood with a light base tone and a clear grain structure, ash is widely specified in pale natural and white finishes, as well as dark black, gray, and greige tones. Its versatility with stains makes it easy to integrate across diverse interior styles.

Chestnut
Characterized by a strong grain and hard composition, chestnut offers exceptional strength, durability, and moisture resistance, and has been traditionally favored for structural and architectural framing. High in natural tannins, its tone deepens gracefully over time. In application, it performs similarly to oak, offering styles ranging from light natural to heavy, grounded looks.

Cherry
Cherry features a warm, light brown tone that matures into a deep reddish hue when finished, making it a long-standing favorite for luxury furniture. With subtle luster, rich light reflection, and a smooth grain texture, it is an ideal choice for elegant, sophisticated spaces.
|||| Other Wood Species
In addition to our primary lineup, several other species have seen growing interest in recent years:
Exotic: Species sourced primarily from tropical and low-latitude regions, known for their unique aesthetics. In the PSC collection, this category includes options like Sucupira (TIN-015K), Terminalia (e.g., TIN-2514K), and Castillo (e.g., TIN-2517K). These distinct textures are frequently specified to create focal points in spatial design.



Other Species: We offer tailored options such as Acacia (e.g., TIN-907K), Eucalyptus (e.g., TIN-2104K), Ovangkol (e.g., TIN-001K), and Willow (TIN-2513K) to accommodate evolving design preferences.
