Wood as a sustainable material.
In the ongoing debate about the sustainability of building materials, the use of wood remains a contentious subject: is it more or less sustainable than fabricated materials?
Other building materials are resource-intensive, require excessive energy in their production, and cannot be disposed of easily without further damage to the environment. Concrete and steel, for example, have larger carbon footprints than wood – and aren’t biodegradable, either.
The inherent sustainability of using wood as a building material means there are fewer concerns for the well being of the ecosystem and climate. When it comes to different types of wood, softwood is even quicker to replenish than hardwood, making it more favorable in terms of sustainability.
Some of the sustainable woods which we deal into are as below
Pine: It is generally viewed as a soft wood, is sustainable largely because it grows quickly, meaning forests can be replenished without the wait it takes to re-grow an oak or other hardwood forest.. Yellow pine is used in Wooden House and boat construction due to its density, while white pine, which is softer, is used for crafting, carpentry and furniture. It also resists warping.
Larch: Siberian Larch is a sustainable, old-growth timber that has been used in construction for centuries. Today it is used extensively throughout Europe, primarily for external applications such as cladding and decking, and for other uses including flooring, bridges and even Olympic tracks. Its remarkable qualities and unique performance characteristics have led to it being referred to as the “Tree of Eternity”.
