Sheesham is a beautiful classy and elegant wood. It is strong and resilient yet flexible and elastic. All in all, this wood can be used for numerous purposes and remains as one of the most popular hardwoods in the world.
Uses
Sheesham wood can be used for making houses, doors and floors but not always. In smaller towns and cold areas, the wood is perfect for construction purposes, but in larger cities and suburbs, the wood is not preferred for that purpose.
Sheesham might be a strong wood, but it is not as resistant to moisture as other hardwoods are. Since the wood is brittle and moist before air drying, it might retain some of its initial moisture because of which it is not considered suitable for flooring. In cities like Lahore where there is a lot rainfall, sheesham flooring tends to get destroyed soon.
