Why Wood?

Wood is the natural�

Unlike other building materials, wood material has more flexibility and ease of application in architectural applications. Because of characteristic of breathing, it is very healthy for human life. It will be created the healthiest environment due to superior temperature and humidity insulation properties. Besides, concrete structures are toxic because of spreading radon gas.

Wood Structure resists Earthquakes and Nature Conditions�

The weight and strength ration of wood, construction material, is higher than other building materials. So it is the most earthquake resistant building materials. In addition, the most resistance to weather and chemical conditions is wood. For example, the lifespan of electricity or telecommunication poles are 50 years, wooden filler in cooling towers are 30 years and wooden bridges are 50 years. In this area, the lifespan of concrete and steel are half of them. Because of the �carbonate� problem, lifespan of concrete is not everlasting.

Wood Structure has a Conveyor Capacity�

One kg Wood carries more than one kg concrete or steel. 250 meters spaces without column are held easily by wood. This type of construction can also not be used steel because of its heavy.

Resistance of wooden structure is high against fire�

Contrary to popular belief, the resistance of wood against fire is superior to concrete or steel. The reason of fire is never wood. Due to characteristic of heat impermeability and carbonization of wood, it is calculated how many times wood- frame structures hang on big fires. Wood buildings are designed to resist between 30 to 90 minutes. On the other hand, steel constructions (because of the highness of steel�s coefficient of expansion) wait only ten minutes and the building collapses suddenly.

Wood Material is only renewable resource as building material�

Because it�s manufacturing and processing are the easiest, it is recyclable and it has superior thermal insulation properties, wood material is the best solution against environment and energy problems. Contrary to popular belief, using wood provides expansion of forest fields. Because all advanced countries using wood material in the building sector plant and maintain consciously. So due to wood�s economical value, it enlarges %1-3 every year. Recycling of steel material need energy more than 354 times.

Wood is friendly to resource of energy..

When manufacturing and building, it uses less energy than other building materials.
