In the process of sawing the trunks of deciduous and coniferous trees, a variety of building materials are obtained. These include wooden blocks. In fact, the bars are lumber, the width of which does not exceed 100 mm. They are lightweight, strong and durable.
The main types of wooden blocks
Today, wooden blocks are a very popular lumber. These are small logs, sawn and processed from all sides. This material has good performance characteristics. Even without special impregnations, wooden blocks perfectly retain heat in the room. Also, such lumber is considered environmentally friendly and completely safe for people and animals.
Wooden blocks are divided into two main types according to the processing method - planed and unprocessed. As for the planed rails, they have an excellent appearance, as they undergo obligatory processing on a grinding machine. Such bars are distinguished by a high level of hygroscopicity, durability and wear resistance. Well, raw material often looks very sloppy due to uncut edges. True, the cost of such bars is really small. Usually they try to disguise them with some kind of external coating. Also, wooden blocks differ in the type of tree they are made of - deciduous or coniferous.
The use of wooden blocks
Bars made of wood are widely used in modern construction. For the construction of support structures and floors, they try to use untreated bars. They can also be used to make handrails and stairs, window sills, lathing for roofs or topcoats.
For the construction of baths, saunas and small houses, planed slats are usually used. By the way, in the process of making doors and furniture, such bars are in great demand due to their neat appearance and good characteristics.
When building houses, coniferous wood bars are often used. They do not have to be subjected to any additional treatment with protective agents. Coniferous wood contains a sufficient amount of resins that perform the function of protection. At a natural moisture level, the bars will have to be dried a little before use. But for chamber drying, planed slats should be used immediately. It is recommended to check the bars for cross-sectional geometry before use. Bars made of deciduous trees are in demand in the manufacture of window frames and doors, supporting structures of buildings and structures.
