Wood is a lightweight, hard, and beautiful material, and it’s been used in construction since day one. Every type comes with certain properties, such as density, flexibility, load-bearing capacity, resistance, hardness, lifespan, and colour. Wood is usually used for roof structures. A suitable type for this purpose is one that doesn’t change its physical properties. Spruce, larch, and oak meet these requirements. When it comes to flooring, the most important qualities are resistance and colour. End matched flooring is suitable for outdoors. Most tropical species are resistant to damp, like teak. To protect wood against pests (mould, fungus, insects), it’s a good idea to coat it with antifungal and anti-insect coatings, oil, or lacquer.
