For interior and soffit applications, BENTON 2.0 adds warmth, clarity, and natural material character in spaces where direct weather exposure is not intended.

Western Hemlock
Western Hemlock is a fine-grained Pacific Northwest softwood valued for its clean, consistent appearance and excellent workability. With a naturally uniform texture and subtle, pale tone, it accepts finishes evenly and profiles cleanly — making it a strong choice for interior cladding, and architectural woodwork where precision and refinement matter.
