Solid Wood Homes from Sustainable Forests

1/31/2018

0 Comments

 
It is important that your wood is from well-managed forests and not from some clear or over felling area where reforestation and appropriate care for the re-growth is not appreciated.

My choice is local wood, because you automatically exclude these risks without having to find out from badly informed suppliers.

Understanding Homes as a Part of Nature

1/26/2018

But when it was shrinking, it suddenly became clear
There was a gap now.
This is when our wise Lord spoke:
My dear wood, this is how you will be recognized.
Gaps too are part of your nature,
Understand this man, don't try to outsmart me.

Natural Benefits of a Pure Solid Wood Home

1/26/2018

0 Comments

 
This poem of an unknown writer is quite fitting here:

"The Gap"

God created wood, some hard and some soft.
However, one thing is always the same
It will never rest or be inactive.
It will move and work constantly.
Then he bestowed the wood with cells.
​So it could shrink and also expand.

(while a board with standing growth rings only shrinks about 5% and hardly warps.)

​The shrinkage and movement of wood is due to changes in moisture content and are normal. The approach we take towards this natural phenomenon makes all the difference.

The tension is rising until its core is cracked by sheer force.

Squared wood free of its heartwood doesn't have these kind of tensions and rarely cracks.

(A board with lying growth rings shrinks approximately twice as much (8-10%) and therefore warps more)

The older part in the center of the log shrinks less than the younger wood the periphery. With a round log or a stronger piece of squared wood, the outside and younger growth rings hold the inner, older growth rings like staves which keep a barrel together.

Moisture Content in Wood for Green Building

... and comes to a point where its moisture content hardly varies anymore. This drying process is the reason for a loss of volume, called shrinkage and causes the wood to move in different ways.

Let's have a closer look at shrinkage:

Excellent Results with Wood as Building Material

1/19/2018

0 Comments

 
For aluminum it is 6 miles while for wood it is (depending on type and structure) 6-18 miles. The results for wood are excellent when considering the context between volume, its weight and ability to insulate acoustically and thermally.

Strength of Natural Wood as Building Material

1/19/2018

0 Comments

 
You can work out the specific strength of a material by using the 'self-support length' method - the maximum length of a vertical column that can suspend its own weight. For steel, this length depends on the steel's quality and is around 2-4 miles.
