Durability

Today, the topic of durability is particularly relevant in the construction and structural sectors, where the carbon footprint is one of the highest compared to other industries. Those involved in construction often seek more sustainable materials and structural solutions in order to reduce the negative environmental impact.

Wood and Durability

Historically, wood is one of the oldest building materials, used since the earliest periods of history. Wood is a natural, renewable resource that is easily recyclable and reusable. As an entirely natural material, its waste does not pollute the environment. While wood may seem fragile and flammable, modern wood treatment technologies have made it increasingly durable and less flammable.

Wood: Natural Thermal Insulator

Wood, as a material, efficiently retains heat during cold periods and prevents heat from entering during warmer periods. Another important aspect is that wood, as a natural material, can absorb and release moisture, naturally regulating the internal humidity of environments. This helps ensure better ventilation inside buildings and prevents issues like mold formation. Since wood has excellent insulating properties, it can reduce thermal insulation costs.

Impact of Wood on Health

In addition to seeking ways to reduce environmental impact, we should consider how more sustainable choices can improve our health and daily lives. Today, many studies focus on how the buildings and materials we use can influence our health. It has been shown that using natural materials improves our mental well-being, helps us relax, and aids concentration. Additionally, wood does not emit harmful substances or chemicals, does not pollute indoor air, and does not cause allergies. Wood generally evokes positive feelings: it symbolizes warmth, comfort, and naturalness. When used in buildings, it creates a more pleasant and welcoming environment.

In Summary

Wood is one of the most commonly used and natural materials, in addition to being environmentally friendly. Choosing wood as a building material offers numerous benefits, not only for the environment but also for us, improving quality of life and health.
