Uses of wood in the building
Natural wood, which is highly affected by the effects of moisture, soil and microorganisms, needs more protection and continuous maintenance than other building materials.
In artificial wood materials, especially if plastic-based glue is not used in their production, it will be possible to dissolve in water, so it is useful to provide the necessary protection and to use hard wood or metal, especially at the junction points. Wooden materials are included in the structure as carrier, coating, joinery, panel insulation and formwork elements. It also has a wide application as a furniture element.
Wooden Carrier Elements: Beams, truss beams, box-section or glued laminated beam elements and shells used to pass openings to the structure are in this group. Today, wood is applied as a carrier element in carcass wall and roof construction with methods similar to traditional building systems.
Wood is generally used for struts, corner posts, base, buttresses, main beams, floor beams, junior beams, yokes in carcass systems, and ceiling beams, hanging beams, pillows, tensioners, bracing, girdle, licking, bollards, drip lover, ridge lover in roof systems. and rafter names and in various sizes. Its application in the building is done by using elements such as inserts, nails, bolts or glue.
Wood Coating Elements: In addition to the natural wood that enters the building as flooring, roof covering, ceiling, interior and exterior wall covering, today it has found a wide area of use in thin veneer boards, plywood, fiber and particle boards. The wood species used are generally pine, fir, beech, oak, ash, hornbeam, elm and walnut. Natural wood coatings have various names such as interlaced, overlapped, mansion print, paneling, parquet, mosaic parquet. Coatings are usually applied in place in the building by nailing to the blind floor and dials or by sticking on the screed.
Wooden Joinery Elements: The wood used in window and door establishments still has a wide application area today. In wooden windows, wooden parts such as casing, sash, record, dropper, and in doors, such as title, floor, record and table, wooden parts are usually made of trees such as kindling pine, fir, oak, beech, and the table part is made of wood such as plywood, veneer fiber or particleboard. produced using types.
Wooden Panel Elements: Artificial wood is generally used in such elements that enter the structure in the form of ready-made wall, floor and roof panels. Wooden panel systems, known as solid, hollow and honeycomb systems, are today's advanced building materials that meet all kinds of requirements in terms of building physics. The wooden panel system, which will be beneficial to be used especially in housing production in our country with its quality control, speed and economy-providing qualities, is applied by using metal clamps between steel, concrete or wooden carcass.
Another area of use of sawdust and fiber boards, especially from artificial wood materials, is heat and sound insulation. In addition, natural wood is used as a concrete formwork material in our country. Natural wood enters the building as elements such as stairs and stars.
