Fire resistance of wood: Wood is a material that is thought to burn easily; However, the burning time of wooden material increases as the cross-section of the material increases.
It remains structurally stable for a longer time than synthetic materials that ignite quickly.
Wood's resistance to earthquakes: Wood is lighter than all other materials (reinforced concrete, steel, etc.). Although it is light, wood is resistant to tension and pressure, while reinforced concrete is not durable. As a result of the earthquake, reinforced concrete structures collapsed in large blocks and crushed those under them, while wooden structures; However, they will separate from the connection points and tilt in one direction, so the area underneath will create a void and contain a living space inside, and since it is a light material, it will not be crushing or lethal. It will not pose a threat.
Wood is natural and ergonomic: Wood is a breathing structure that comes from nature. It does not cause any harm to human health; It helps people to be healthy. Wood stores carbon dioxide and moisture, thus providing a cleaner and more balanced atmosphere. In addition, wood contributes to human health by blocking some of the electromagnetic waves that harm human health. It has positive effects on the human body and psychology with its pleasant smell, comfortable touch and natural color. However, since plastic materials are artificial, it has been determined that bacteria live much longer in these types of materials than in wooden materials.
Insulation properties of wood: Ability to absorb sound, high temperature, low level of electrical conductivity and electrostatic charge removal. It provides high quality insulation with its features and suitable insulation materials.
Effectiveness of wood: Wood under a ceiling does not need maintenance. Wooden structures and building materials are lower cost than those made with other synthetic materials.
Portability and practical installation of wood: Log and plank houses made of wood are prefabricated. Since they are built by stacking them due to their technology, they are easy to assemble and can be disassembled and moved when desired.
