Important Construction Material- Wood Timber

Author: Akash Jain

Timber wood is obtained from renewable, energy-efficient and recyclable natural resource. Manufacturer provides a wide variety of timbers on a sustainable basis, which meet the requirements of many people and guarantee consistency and product quality.

Why to use Timber?

Timber is environment-friendly wood used in the constructions.

It is a renewable resource as it can be grown easily again in the forest. Hence raw material for manufacturing timber is always available.

Less energy is consumed in the conversion of raw timber materials to useable products, whereas metals like iron or steel require more energy for conversion from their respective ore or raw products.

It has best thermal insulation properties and is cost effective, so it can be used to build energy-efficient buildings with low cost.

Timber products are durable than other materials and can be reused, hence are called recyclable products. There is hardly any waste piece of wood found in timber industry, timber waste is used up in a unique and innovative way.

It is a natural carbon store, produced using little solar energy, so is one of the most energy-efficient materials available on the planet. Consumers, builders and designers can help in reduction of carbon dioxide emission by using timber wood as the best option compared to other products.

Advantages of Timber

Timber frame is made offsite, in a controlled environment.

It is not weather dependent

It is light weight and sustainable

It is made using modern methods

It is cost effective

It is strong and attractive.

It has great workability and reduces the duration of build.

Uses of Timber

Because of the above-mentioned qualities, Timber is used in many ways.

Timber frame is high quality, modern and sustainable form of construction

Timber is recommended in residential and commercial buildings as structural and aesthetic materials.

Even if buildings are made with other materials, timber is used as a versatile and supporting material

It is considered ideal for high end architectural projects as structural applications such as beams, walls, timber panels

It is also used in internal timber applications as in internal doors and their frames

It can be cut into straight planks and made into a wood flooring

Timber waste can be broken down mechanically into fibers or chips (main component in paper) or chemically into cellulose (component of synthetic material) and used as a raw material for other building materials, such as engineered wood, chipboard, hardboard and medium-density fiberboard (MDF).
