Features of softwood lumber
The use of natural lumber in construction is not only a tribute to fashion, but also a concern for the practicality, safety and reliability of housing. Materials made of coniferous wood are especially popular.
Advantages of softwood lumber
Pine wood is environmentally friendly, has an aesthetic appearance and a pleasant aroma. It can be easily processed, which helps to make products of various shapes. The physical and mechanical properties of coniferous lumber are also excellent:
- High density (513 kg/cubic meter);
- High strength (200 kg/sq. cm);
- Light weight;
- Resistance to rotting bacteria, fungi, mold (pine needle wood contains a large amount of resins, it is they prevent rotting products);
- High level of noise insulation;
- Pest resistance.
The resins in the composition of wood not only provide resistance to rotting bacteria, but also provide antiseptic properties. That is why coniferous lumber can also be used for interior finishing of baths.
Spruce and pine boards hold fasteners of all types well. They are easily treated with stain and coated with paints. Sometimes it is enough to varnish them, because the wood cut has a beautiful natural pattern and color.
It is due to the combination of these useful properties that coniferous lumber has gained popularity in the construction market.
