  • Historical and Heritage Buildings: Often used in the restoration and maintenance of historic buildings, especially in the UK, to preserve an authentic and period-appropriate appearance.
  • Residential Design: It’s used inside homes for cabinetry, kitchen units, and feature walls to create a calming and inviting space.

Maintenance and Practicality
