In recent years, natural wood lumber has occupied one of the most important positions in the market of building and finishing materials. Various types of plywood, lining, trimming board, glued beams, galbed and chopped log and other materials experience their second birth, displacing synthetic materials into the background.
Such popularity of wood building materials is ensured by unique properties and advantages of wood. Adding to this the characteristic features that every type of lumber possesses, it becomes clear why interest in them not only does not fade away, but also increases over time.
Advantages of natural wood
The main advantages of natural wood are:
The ease of processing and installation, building wood materials are easily cut, connected by nails, screws, adhesive compositions, combined with each other;
Wood materials have excellent sound – and thermal insulation qualities, thanks to the decoration of walls with such materials as the lining, can be provided in the room with a constant temperature regime, saving on heating;
Natural wood is environmentally friendly, it breathes well, providing a microclimate favorable for human health in the room.
Disadvantages of natural wood
Like any material, natural wood is not devoid of disadvantages. The main disadvantages of the tree are low fire resistance, a tendency to sedimentary deformation in the first years of operation.
Wood lumber: alloy of the advantages of wood and modern technologies
Modern wood lumber used in construction allow not only to fully use the advantages of natural wood, but also to maximize its characteristic shortcomings. At their core, they are an alloy of natural raw materials and modern technologies. The result of this approach to production is a significant expansion of the area of use of lumber.
An example is a plywood that has such a wide range of application that it can be called universal material without exaggeration. Unlike natural wood, plywood has high moisture resistance indicators, it is practically not subject to biological effects, decay, infection with a fungus or mold. Unlike natural wood, it is a small -skinned material with low smoke formation.
