No. Limestone is more porous than granite.
because hardwood takes its time to grow so its hard to renew.
Probably because it's more durable than soft wood - therefore it lasts longer before it needs to be replaced.
No, compared to hardwood, soft wood is much cheaper
Clay is not more porous than sand. Porous means permeable by fluids, so, sand is more porous than clay.
Than?? Marble certainly isn't porous.
Hardwood floors are generally more expensive than tile floors because they are harder to maintain. However, higher quality tile floors can cost more than hardwood floors.
No way
Softwood is alot cheaper as it is faster to grow than hardwood.
Price has nothing do do with it. Balsa is a hardwood - though it's very soft. Fir is softwood but is more expensive than pine which is more expensive than spruce (all softwoods). Two definitions for hardwood/softwood: 1) softwoods never lose their leaves/needles; hardwoods do when it gets cold. 2) softwood seeds fall to the ground; hardwood seeds are contained within something that drops from the tree (apple, chestnut, acorn, etc.)
It is used in quality furniture, primarily as secondary wood. Hard wood is from trees that lose its leaves in the autumn. Soft wood comes from trees that are evergreen. Many "soft woods" are harder than some "hardwoods". Balsa, a hardwood, is really quite soft. Eastern hard pine is much harder than balsa. Nicer furniture is made from hard woods as they finish better, hold up longer, and are more attractive. Hardwoods take stains and dyes better than softwoods.
because softwood is cheaper to make than hardwood Wood GROWS hard or soft. Pine is on the softer end. Hard Rock Maple is VERY durable. It's the milling and woddcutting and time of growth that makes hardwoods more expensive.
