Where does the flexibility of the wooden house construction design lie?

Under the concepts of health preservation, elderly care and green development, wooden houses have gradually entered their golden period of development. Among all buildings, they have demonstrated their outstanding features and uniqueness, leading more and more people to shift from cold concrete houses to wooden houses.


Wooden houses not only have a pleasant temperature in winter and summer, but also have greater flexibility in design compared to concrete houses.


So, where exactly does the flexibility of wooden houses lie?


1. Design Diversity


Compared to the limitations of concrete houses, the structure of wooden houses is more flexible. The shape can be diverse, reflecting the styles of various countries, regions, and ethnic groups within the country.


There are various ways to use wood, and it can withstand artistic refinement. For a long time, skilled craftsmen have loved to express their technical characteristics through wood in construction and decoration. Designers and artists use it to express their creativity to achieve a masterful effect.


2. Not restricted by terrain


Wooden house construction is not limited by terrain. Most traditional houses can only be built on flat land, while wooden house construction can be built on flat land, water surfaces, rooftops, and trees, greatly meeting the needs of different customers for wooden houses.


3. Not affected by the environment


From the perspective of the construction environment, wooden houses can be built in warm and humid areas as well as in cold and icy regions. This is like the southern part of China, which is always humid and warm, and the northern part with extremely cold winters. After all, wooden houses have the effect of being warm in winter and cool in summer, so it is possible to build wooden houses in both regions.


Will wooden houses get damp and rot due to the presence of moisture during rainy seasons?


The wood used in wooden houses belongs to an organic organism, so we need to conduct regular comprehensive maintenance to prevent it from rotting. The key point of maintenance is to ensure that the drainage measures inside the house are well designed, because if wood is exposed to water for a long time, it will gradually rot due to moisture. Therefore, as long as the drainage measures inside the house are designed reasonably, there will be no major problem with the wooden house structure lasting for 60 years or more.


In addition, there is no need to worry about dampness from rain, which would reduce the lifespan of the wooden house. After all, when the moisture content of wood reaches about 28%, its fibers will be saturated, which is just the base point for drying or rotting. And we have previously dried the building materials to a moisture content of less than 20%, so the wooden house can withstand various humid and harsh environments and will not undergo any volume changes, that is, the internal structure of the house will not deform.
