We had a choice, and you will get it too

Choosing material from which we and especially our clients would be extremely satisfied was our main goal, but also not a difficult decision. Our clear and unambiguous choice when choosing the wood from which the church pews and chairs were to be made was oak and alder wood. Since we already have experience with these woods, we were not afraid that we would be surprised by something unpleasant during production.

The production of pews and chairs is covered by the company EVERGREEN, with which we have many years of experience. This company produces furniture to measure, from the heart and with an emphasis on quality. During production, church benches and chairs pass through the hands of honest craftsmen from the region of Liptov, who love their work as much as we do.

When buying church pews and church chairs, we give you a choice - solid oak or alder wood. But to help you in making a decision, let's take a closer look at the characteristics of these two trees.

Oak wood, which guarantees quality and longevity

You don't have to worry about the quality of church pews and church chairs, as solid oak wood fully guarantees it. Oak wood is considered to be one of the highest quality woods. This popular wood has been used to make furniture for more than a thousand years. There are several reasons for that. One of the reasons for its popularity is definitely its longevity. Just as temples and churches stand for all eternity, our church chairs and pews ZOE will adorn them as well for eternity. Even the coming years should only add to their beauty.

The strength of wood is another quality feature, why oak wood is so popular. Thanks to this solid wood, the construction of church chairs is firm, high quality and can withstand a load of over 300 kg. Church chairs have become popular not only because of their minimalist design, but also because of the comfort they provide, the variability and the ability to easily combine the chairs to create a separate bench.

Alder wood - hardwood that softens up everyone

Alder wood has softened up us too, thanks to its captivating scent, lightness and strength at the same time. Naturally, this wood has a light honey colour, but after its staining, the colour changes to a darker one and the natural drawing of the wood is highlighted. The open pores of the alder allow easy application of lacquer coatings. The varnish quickly penetrates the surface of the alder, creating a glossy coating and so the indistinct piece of wood becomes a complete opposite. Thanks to the glossy surface, the ZOE church chair, made of alder wood, looks elegant and charming. With its appearance, it fits into every temple or church.
