An Environmentally Friendly, Sustainable Material; Wooden
The use of wood by humans dates back to ancient times. However, the use of structural materials such as plastic and concrete has been common all over the world for a long time due to short-term planned cost tables and lack of sustainability. Today, in the face of the threat of the climate crisis, there is an increasing trend towards solutions and environmentally friendly materials that will minimize the damage caused by urbanization and building practices to the environment.
The revival of interest in wood in recent years should be considered as one of the results of the search for an architecture in harmony with the environment. Wood is one of the options that best responds to environmental and energy problems, as it is the only building material that is constantly increasing and renewable. The positive effect of wood on human health and psychology, the variety of usage areas and ease of use are the reasons for its preference.
Wood, Health and Psychology
According to neurologists, when we enter a place, a cognitive and psychological process begins in our brain that also affects emotions and health. When the use of wood in architecture and interiors was investigated, it was seen that it lowers blood pressure, pulse and stress, and also has effects that increase attention power and focusing ability. In addition, with its appearance and texture, it reveals the feelings of "warmth", "relaxation" and "peace" in people.
One of the most important reasons why the use of wood has many positive physical and psychological aspects is its effect on the atmosphere of the space. Wood increases the quality of the air by balancing the humidity of the environment. This is because wood has the ability to absorb or release moisture. When moisture is absorbed by the wood, the surface temperature rises, and when the humidity drops, the surface temperature decreases. The wooden surface can then act as a natural heating panel or cooling element. In addition, as wood is a breathable material, it is also effective in the process of evacuating the carbon dioxide in the interior from the building and entering the oxygen into the building. In this respect, it plays a role in ensuring the air quality of the place.
Usage Areas and Lifespan
Wooden materials, which are preferred in many areas such as interior walls, suspended ceilings, acoustic panels, floors, doors and windows with different color and toning options, can be used for many years if well maintained. Moreover, you can easily choose them for all your private or public projects as they are easily cleaned.
