The beech most commonly grown as an ornamental tree is the European Beech (Fagus sylvatica), widely cultivated in North America as well as its native Europe. Many varieties are in cultivation, notably the weeping beech F. sylvatica 'Pendula', several varieties of Copper or purple beech, the fern-leaved beech F. sylvatica 'Asplenifolia', and the tricolour beech F. sylvatica 'roseomarginata'. The strikingly columnar Dawyck beech (F. sylvatica 'Dawyck') occurs in green, gold and purple forms, named after Dawyck Garden in the Scottish Borders, one of the four garden sites of the Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh.

Beech bark with nodules.The European species, Fagus sylvatica, yields a utility timber that is tough but dimensionally unstable. It is widely used for furniture framing and carcass construction, flooring and engineering purposes, in plywood and in household items like plates, but rarely as a decorative timber. Its weight when steamed is roughly 720 kg per cubic meter in both steemed and unsteemed varies of rough sawn timber.

Beech wood is an excellent firewood, easily split and burning for many hours with bright but calm flames. Chips of beech wood are used in the brewing of Budweiser beer as a fining agent. Beech logs are burned to dry the malts used in some German smoked beers, to give the beers their typical flavor. Beech is also used to smoke some cheeses.

Beech wood is also excellent for making furniture. Some drums are made from beech, which has a tone generally considered to be between maple and birch, the two most popular drum woods.

Also, beech pulp is used as the basis for manufacturing a textile fiber known as Modal. The wood is also used to make the pigment known as bistre.

The fruit of the beech, also called "Beechnuts" and "mast", are found in the small burrs that drop from tree in autumn. They are small and triangular, are edible, have a sweet taste and are highly nutritious. (~ 20% protein and also ~ 20% oil content). Traditionally beech woods were highly valued in western Europe for the grazing of pigs, which fed on fallen beech mast. However, they do contain organic substances which are slightly toxic (it has been reported that eating approx. 50 nuts may make you ill) so that they should not be eaten in larger quantities[2]. The oil pressed from them does not have this effect any more. It was in common use in Europe in times of abundant labor but scarce food sources, such as in Germany in the years immediately after World War II; people would go into the woods and collect beechnuts, then swap them for oil at small private or community-owned oil mills; the mill would keep and sell a certain percentage to cover its operating costs. As collecting beechnuts is time-consuming work, use of the oil dropped sharply when mass-produced oils became more available again.

FloorLayers™ cares about the environment and takes responsibility by ensuring that all source material is purchased from suppliers who are concerned about the preservation of our natural resources. FloorLayers purchases raw material from suppliers who implement only the highest standards in forestry practices, thus assuring the conservation and replenishment of our forests.

More importantly, our proprietary manufacturing process actually saves trees. The flooring yield from our one-of-a-kind engineering is 4 times greater than a conventional hardwood floor. This means that FloorLayers can produce the same amount of engineered hardwood flooring from one tree where a typical flooring maker would require 4 trees to equal the same square footage. We think of it as preserving our forests—one tree at a time.
